Muslims across the globe are preparing to conclude the holy month of Ramadan and usher in the festivities of Eid al-Fitr. This significant Islamic holiday follows a month of fasting, increased worship, and acts of charity. Celebrated with prayers and joyous gatherings, Eid traditionally involves family visits, festive clothing, and communal feasting. From Indonesia’s mass exodus to hometowns for reunions to Egypt’s festive prayers and gift-giving customs, diverse traditions mark the occasion. Despite ongoing conflicts, such as the Israel-Hamas war, Muslims worldwide remain committed to observance, advocacy, and charity, especially for those in need.
