Muslims Share Greetings as Ramadan Ends
As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end, Muslims around the world are sharing greetings and well wishes to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. The festival marks the end of the fasting period and is a time for joy and celebration. Muslims typically greet each other with "Eid Mubarak," which means "Blessed Eid." They also often exchange gifts and sweets, and attend special prayers and gatherings. Eid al-Fitr is a public holiday in many Muslim-majority countries, and many businesses and schools are closed during the festival. Muslims who live in non-Muslim majority countries often take time off work or school to celebrate with their families and communities. Eid al-Fitr is a joyous occasion for Muslims, and it is a time to reflect on the blessings of God and to celebrate the completion of the fasting period.
