Eid Mubarak, also known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast, is a joyous occasion celebrated by Muslims worldwide. The festival marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims observe a month-long fast from dawn to dusk. This year, Eid Mubarak falls on April 20th-21st 2023.
As an important event in the Islamic calendar, Eid Mubarak is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion. It is a time for Muslims to come together, exchange greetings, and share in the joy and blessings of the festival.
Eid Mubarak begins with the sighting of the new moon, which marks the end of Ramadan. The day starts with a special prayer, called the Eid prayer, which is performed in large congregations at mosques or other designated places. The prayer is followed by a sermon that emphasises the importance of gratitude, compassion, and forgiveness.
After the prayer, Muslims greet each other by saying "Eid Mubarak," which translates to "Blessed Eid." Families and friends then come together to celebrate the festival with delicious food, sweets, and other delicacies. Giving gifts to loved ones, especially children, is also a common practice during Eid.

Charity is an integral part of Eid Mubarak, with Muslims encouraged to donate to the poor and needy. This tradition is known as Zakat, which requires Muslims to give a portion of their wealth to those in need. By sharing their blessings, Muslims seek to create a more equitable and just society.
Eid Mubarak is also a time for dressing up and looking one's best. New clothes, accessories, and perfumes are commonly worn to symbolise the renewal of the spirit and to express gratitude for the blessings of the festival.
In conclusion, Eid Mubarak is a special occasion that celebrates the end of the holy month of Ramadan. It is a time for prayer, feasting, charity, and dressing up, and it brings together families and friends in a spirit of joy and togetherness. As you celebrate this year's Eid Mubarak, may you be blessed with peace, happiness, and prosperity.
