A Blessed End to Ramzan
Eid-ul-Fitr, also known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of a month of fasting, prayers, and spiritual reflection. Muslims will now engage in Eid prayers, charitable giving (Zakat al-Fitr), and celebrations with family and friends.
Scholars and Islamic organizations have extended greetings, praying for the acceptance of fasting (siyām), night prayers (qiyām), and good deeds (a’māl) during Ramzan.
Global Eid Celebrations
While Saudi Arabia has confirmed the sighting, other countries, including India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, will look for the moon on Saturday night, with their Eid-ul-Fitr expected on March 31 or April 1, depending on moon sighting reports.
May Allāh (SWT) accept our prayers and allow us to witness many more Ramzans in good health. Āmīn.
