Kathmandu, Nepal– Today, the Muslim community celebrates Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the end of the sacred month of Ramadan, characterized by prayers and introspection.
According to the Arabic calendar, Eid-ul-Fitr falls on the first day of the tenth month of the Hijri calendar. Throughout the nation, Muslims observe this day with fervent prayers and seek blessings from their elders.
During the first three days of the tenth month, people attend special prayers and exchange sweets with relatives as tokens of goodwill.
Beyond the festivities, Eid-ul-Fitr underscores the significance of charity and generosity. Muslims follow the Quranic directive to contribute a portion of their savings to support the less fortunate.
As part of the Eid rituals, individuals cleanse themselves, don new attire, and offer special prayers before seeking blessings from elders.
