his Friday, millions of Muslims around the world observe Eid al-Fitr or Feast of Breaking the Fast, a religious holiday that marks the end of the holy Islamic month of Ramadan.
The celebration begins after a special prayer held in the morning, which precedes the breaking of the fast itself.
During the festival, the faithful are able to partake in their first daylight meal after a whole month of fasting which they usually share with their family and kin.
The most common greeting during the celebration is ‘Eid Mubarak’ (or ‘Blessed Eid’).
This is how people in Qatar observe this festival.
The faithful in Ethiopia also appear eager to offer their supplications to the divine as well.
