Today is Eid-ul-Fitr.....this marks the end of Ramadan.
During the Holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast during daylight hours - no food or drink from sunrise to sunset. The month of Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection. The fasting is intended to help teach Muslims self restraint, self discipline and generosity. It is also to remind them of the poor and needy.
Eid-ul-Fitr is a purely spiritual event, it is not linked to any historical event or related to the changes of the seasons.
It is the time when Muslims thank God for having given them the will and the strength to observe the month long fast during the Holy month of Ramadan.
During Eid-ul-Fitr families get together, pray, eat together, exchange gifts & give sweets to the children.
Eid Mubarak (Happy/Blessed Eid) to all Muslims
