Eid ul-Fitr


Eid - festivity 
Fitr - break -fasting
Eid ul-Fitr - festivity after breaking fast. 


After the holy month of Ramadan, the next month is called Shawwal. The first day of the beautiful month of Shawwal is Eid ul-Fitr. It is a holiday which symbolizes celebrations through out the world among Muslims who have kept their fast the whole month of Ramadan. 

It is a beautiful day which starts by giving money to the poor so they may not be kept from enjoying themselves among others, next we pray to Allah the almighty, this prayer has to be performed between the hours of (ishraq and zawal) sunrise and mid-day (before the sun reaches its zenith). After these two duties have been fulfilled its now time to meet the family and friends that we were not able to give time to since we spent our days praying and fasting to please Allah,  people leave to their homes or homes of their family and exchange gifts enjoy the food, and deserts.
This day is a true blessing for a believer for it holds proof that he/she fasted the whole month to please Allah and him alone.

May Allah bless you, and your families. 
Taqabbalallâhu minnâ wa minkum
"may allah accept from us and you" (our fasts and deeds)



Like every year don't forget to support the USPS buy getting your order of the EID stamps InshAllah. 
EID Mubarak. عید مُبارک (HAPPY EID)
