Eid al-Fitr is here and Muslims around the world are celebrating the day with utmost enthusiasm. One of the most important festivals in the Muslim community, it marks the end of the Holy month of Ramadan. However, the date of the celebration varies every year, from place to place. This is because the date is decided on when the new moon is sighted by local religious authorities. Also called Meethi Eid, this festival signifies breaking of the fast (Roza); which is why food plays a major role in the celebrations. As per legends, no Muslim is permitted to starve on this day. In fact, friends and families gather together to indulge in a lavish Eid feast.
Given the current situation, gatherings and meet-ups are an impossible idea. Instead, people prefer to stay in their houses. But that doesn't mean we need to compromise on the celebrations. One can always prepare yummy delicacies at home and enjoy a low-key Eid with family.
