With approx 1.5 billion followers of Islam around the world, Muslims are the second largest in population after Christians. And they are spread all around the world, be it an African country or gulf regions. In such a state, Eid is one of
the most celebrated festivals around the world. It marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims perform the rituals of fasting in a very accurate manner.
There is a diversity in the eid ul fitr traditions and customs of celebrating Eid due to Muslims scattered in different parts of world. While Iraqis and Palestinians embark on the festivities by having sweetmeat called klaicha, Egyptian Muslims go to Mosques
with an empty stomach and later on have an elaborate luncheon with a fish delicacy in the middle of it.
For Muslims all across the country, this is the end of fasting period. Thus they rejoice, not in happiness of the end of fasting period but to thank Allah for giving the endurance to complete them successfully. So, be it India or Indonesia, Pakistan or USA,
the spirit remains the same. All wear new clothes and offer prayers to Allah by reciting Namaz.
Eid Fairs at grand level are organized and people participate and share their happiness with their fellow Muslims. The religion of Islam preaches humanity, brotherhood and love. These fairs are the best way to spread all around the goodness of Allah. And Eid
becomes a nice excuse to do it.
We take you through the gala of celebrations of Eid and let you feel the nerve of the world while they are rejoicing in the festivities of Eid. Experience the swing of jollifications at countries where there is a greater density of Muslim population, such as
India, Pakistan, USA and UAE. Wishing you all "Eid Mubarak".
