What’s the significance of Eid ul-Fitr?
It is widely believed that Prophet Muhammad got the first revelation of the holy book Quran during the month of Ramadan. On this occasion of Eid ul-Fitr, followers pay respect to Allah for providing strength and endurance during the month-long fasting rituals.
With the outbreak of contagious Coronavirus, all the religious places are forced to remain shut to avoid social gatherings. Owing to the lockdown, Eid celebrations this years are likely to be different as Muslims won’t be able to visit Mosques, which usually holds special prayers at sunrise.
Lakhs of Muslims visit mosques and 'eidgahs across the world to offer prayers and exchange greetings by saying “Eid Mubarak”, which means “have a blessed Eid”. In several households, a feast is prepared as members of the family gather to partake in it and children are often given gifts or a special allowance on Eid-ul-Fitr.
Eid ul-Fitr signifies breaking the fast. On this day, followers express gratitude to the almighty Allah for all the blessings. It is believed that Muslims were asked to fasting till the last day of Ramadan. As pe the Holy book, Quran, devotees are supposed to pay the Zakat al-Fitr before offering the prayers for Eid. Zakat al-Fitr is a charity collected for the poor a few days before the end of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan.
This year, Eid-ul-Fitr in India is likely to fall on May 12 or 13 depending on the sighting of the moon.
