Eid al-Fitr Traditions and Celebrations

Muslims in different countries may have different traditions in celebrating Eid al-Fitr. Yet, there are some Eid ul-Fitr traditions performed by most Muslims around the world. The sounds of takbir reverberate from the mosques and mushalla from the evening before Eid al-Fitr. Early morning, Muslims go to the mosque to do Eid al-Fitr Salat. They greet each other and say “Eid Mubarak” or “Happy Eid” to everyone they meet. On this holy day, Muslim people are encourage to ask for forgiveness and forgive everyone for whatever they’ve done.

Before offering the Eid Prayer, Muslims are obliged to pay “Zakat Fitra”, a kind of charity of the poor, orphans, the elderlies, and wayfarers. They pay Zakat Fitra by donating 2,5 kilograms or 3,5 liters of staple food such as rice, flour, wheat, corn, etc. In Indonesia and many other countries, staple food can be replaced with cash as much as the price of the staple food. On the day of Eid al-Fitr, Muslims are forbidden to fast.
