SELAMAT HARI RAYA - EID' MUBARAK

Muslims all over the world celebrate ‘Eid ul Fitr on the first day of Shawwal —  after a  month long fasting month of Ramadan  which culminates into the festival of ‘Eid-ul-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking). It is a festival of joy, family reunion and thanksgiving to Almighty God. The giving of a special charity for this occasion is obligatory. This is known as Zakat. Muslims dress in holiday attire, attend a special community prayer in the morning, and visit friends and relatives. Greetings of “‘Eid mubarak,” or “Selamat Hari Raya in Malay” are exchanged.
