Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan. All Muslim countries celebrate Eid as a sign of Muslim unity and values. Starting a day with special prayers and sweet dish called ‘Sheer khurma’ men, women and children wear new clothes, while women along with new clothes also wear bangles and apply mehandi. The children receive blessings and gifts from elders called Eidi. Being happy and thankful to Allah, we should not forget the workers who are not celebrating Eid because of their duties such as policeman, housemaids and gate keepers. We should share our happiness with them too, as Eid is all about sharing happiness and joy.
