Eid Mubarak to everyone who is celebrating!
Eid is a celebration for all Muslims around the world who have fasted for 30 days for Ramadan. Ramadan is when Muslims fast during the hours of daylight. This means no food or drink at all, and it also means stopping bad habits. This helps you feel like you're cleansing your soul of sins and desires. It helps teach you about self-discipline and of the poor people who can't afford to eat. It makes you feel what they are feeling.
Many Muslims will try go to the mosque everyday to prayer and listen to the Quran being read. The Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during this month. The night the Quran was revealed is known as Lailut ul-Qadr (The Night of Power) this requires a special pray for men and women.
When I break my fast I have a meal with my family and then an hour before I start fasting again I will have a small meal but nothing heavy so I won't be hungry when I wake up. Doing it with your family is the best because you are sharing the same beliefs with each other and helping one another. I think it brings you closer together which is a good thing.
At the end of Ramadan a celebration called Eid-ul-Fitr occurs to show the breaking of the fast and everyone thanks Allah for helping them throughout Ramadan. Muslims come together to celebrate this by dressing up nice and giving out gifts. My father has given me money and my brother various different gifts. As a family we have also given to charity to the poor to help them celebrate.
I am half Turkish and Turkish Muslims say "Bayramınız mübarek olsun" to one another. I think every country have a different way of saying Eid Mubarak but it doesn't matter because we are all celebrating the same thing.
Later today my father and some of my other family members are going to celebrate with a meal and will thank Allah for all the help he gave us through Ramadan.
