Muslim Calender.
Millions of Muslims around the world will be gathering with their
family and friends, attending morning prayers, giving donations to charity & having fiests together.

           

Gratitude for Health

To Muslims , Eid is giving thanks to Allah for given them 

strength to fast. In everyday life, our health can be taken for granted. 

RAMADAN for many people is a remainder for one to take care of 

themselves, to slow down and to eat well in evenings.

Fasting is not an easy task and Eid is a celebration for not only having 

the strength to do this, but also of gift of health.

Gratitude for Family

Today, we live in a fast paced society where we hardly find time to 

spend with our families because of work and everyday responsibilities.

Like rest of the occasions, Eid is also celebrated by spending time with 

family & friends.

Unfortunately, many of us will not find the time to spend it with the 

people that we love. During Eid, Muslims are encouraged to be joyful nd 

to come together as a community.

Gratitude for Food

During Eid, families will exchange food,go to big markets & give food 

to the less fortunate. Eid is probably incomplete without delicious dishes 

and Eidi. The best part of this festival that children receives Eidi in the form of money, gift items, etc😍😍
