Islam community celebrating Eid-ul Fitr tomorrow

The Islam community in Nepal are celebrating the Eid-ul Fitr tomorrow, Thursday, while marking today the completion of the month-long Roja, a rigorous fasting, that is observed in the month of Ramadan.

The people from the Islam community tomorrow will gather at the Mosque and Idgah, a place set for public prayers on the occasion of Eid, and read the Namaj.

After the recitations of Namaj, they hug each other and exchange Eid-ul Fitr greetings. Back home, they enjoy delicacies. The month of Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar.

In the 70 days of the Eid-ul-Fitr, the Muslim people observe the Baker-Eid or Eid-ul-Ajaha. During this festival, they depart for Hajj, a pilgrimage to the Mecca Medina in the Saudi Arabia.
