1. Understanding the Significance of Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr is a time to express gratitude and celebrate with loved ones. It begins with the Eid prayer, followed by visiting family and friends, exchanging gifts, and enjoying festive meals. Zakat al-Fitr, a charitable donation, is given before the Eid prayer to help those in need.
2. Preparing Spiritually for Eid
• Complete Zakat al-Fitr before the Eid prayer.
• Recite Takbir (“Allahu Akbar”) from the night before Eid until the prayer.
• Attend Eid prayer at the mosque or an open gathering.
• Greet others with “Eid Mubarak” and spread joy.
3. Dressing for the Occasion
Wearing new or elegant clothes is a tradition on Eid. Popular choices include:
• Men: Classic thobes and stylish jubbas.
• Women: Modest dresses, abayas, and matching hijabs.
• Kids: Miniature thobes and abayas for a coordinated family look.
