Muslims around the world will celebrate Eid al-Fitr, one of the most important occasions in the Muslim calendar, which marks the end of Ramadan, on Friday.
The day will begin with Eid prayers being offered at mosques in cities and towns throughout the Islamic world.
Special prayers will also be offered for Muslims in Palestine, Indian Occupied Kashmir, and Turkistan, where people are subjected to oppression and brutality.
Eid al-Fitr is celebrated with family gatherings, shopping for new clothes, gifts, and sweets. During the Eid celebration, Muslims greet each other by saying 'Eid Mubarak', which means "Blessed Eid" in Arabic.
As it comes after a month of fasting, sweet dishes and foods are often prepared and consumed during the celebration.
Muslims typically decorate their homes, and are also encouraged to forgive each other and seek forgiveness.
In countries with large Muslim populations, Eid al-Fitr is usually a public holiday, with most schools and businesses closed for the day. (ILKHA)
