Eid Mubarak

Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of Shawwal, the month which follows Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. It is a time to give to those in need and celebrate with family and friends the completion of a month of blessings and joy.

On the day of Eid, Muslims gather early in the morning in outdoor locations or mosques to perform the Eid prayer. After the prayer people visit family and friends, give gifts (especially to children) and make phone calls to distant relatives to give well-wishes for the holiday. These activities traditionally continue for three days. In most Muslim countries this 3 day period is also a public holiday.

So as a hot Ramadan draws to a close I would like to wish you a happy Eid celebration, may every year find you in good health.
