Eid Mubarak 2023: Offering prayers on Eid

For Eid ul-Fitr, a special salat (Islamic prayer) is offered that is composed of two rakats (units) and is often performed in a large auditorium or open area. The additional seven Takbirs, which can only be recited in assembly (jamat) and include raising the hands to the ears while saying "Allahu akbar," or "God is the greatest," are added by the Hanafi school. There is a separate procedure for both Shia and Sunni Muslims for offering Eid prayers.

Eid-ul-Fitr 2023: Significance of Eid celebration

On Laylat al-Qadr, one of the nights with an odd number, in the final ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet Muhammad received the revelation that would become the Muslim religion's holy book. Additionally, Muslims practise fasting (Sawm), one of Islam's Five Pillars, all during the holy month of Ramadan. 

This holy occasion marks the end of the month-long Ramadan fasting (Roza), which Muslims throughout the world observe from sunrise to dusk. Therefore, Eid ul-Fitr marks the completion of the fast. Since the date of Eid-ul-Fitr depends on when the new moon is visible, it varies every year, however it frequently falls on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.

Eid-ul-Fitr 2023: Eid Mubarak

Eid-ul-Fitr is dedicated to thanking Allah, the Almighty, for everything that we have. Muslims hold a belief that Allah gave them the order to keep fasting until the final day of Ramadan. Here are some wishes and greetings to share with your family and friends.

- The day of Eid-ul-Fitr is one of joy and enjoyment. It is a blessed and peaceful day. It is a day to honour brotherhood above everything else. Happy Eid to all of you and get the best from the universe.

- Eid Mubarak to my dear friend! May Allah's blessings be with you and your loved ones always.

- Eid is a day of sharing what we have and caring for others. May you have a wonderful Eid this year!

- May Allah always keep blessing you and give you strength at every important step in your life. Eid Mubarak!
