How Do Different Muslim Countries Wish Happy Eid Around the World?
Eid is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. There are two types of Eid celebrated by Muslims, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, while Eid al-Adha commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
The way Eid is celebrated differs from country to country, depending on the cultural and traditional practices of each region.
For example, Indonesians celebrate Eid al-Fitr by calling it "Hari Raya Idul Fitri" and begin their celebrations with a special morning prayer, followed by giving alms to the needy and visiting relatives and friends.
In Turkey, Eid al-Adha is referred to as "Kurban Bayrami." Muslims in Turkey gather at mosques to offer special prayers and visit their families and friends.
In Morocco, Eid al-Adha is referred to as "Eid Al-Kbir" or the "Big Eid" and is celebrated by visiting family and friends, feasting on traditional Moroccan cuisine, and wearing new clothes.
The way Muslims celebrate Eid varies from country to country, but the essence of the celebration remains the same – to remember and honor the significance of this religious observance.
