10 Gifts To Spread Happiness This Eid al Fitr
As one of the most important events on the Islamic calendar, Ramadan is a very special time of year and Eid al-Fitr offers a unique chance to celebrate the end of the Holy Month with friends and family. The closer we get, the more our social media feeds become populated with moon-sighting predictions and plans to host, entertain and gather together.
What is Eid al Fitr?
‘Eid Mubarak’ or ‘Happy Eid’ will become the most commonly heard phrases in the days after Ramadan ends. Literally speaking, Eid Al Fitr means ‘The Festival of the Fast Breaking’ and occurs annually, immediately following the close of Ramadan to mark the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal. Eid Al Fitr is a time to show love, kindness and honour to your family, friends and Allah.
Houses and communities will be illuminated with lights and decorations as traditional Eid celebrations are held across cities and countries. Many Muslims will use the time as an opportunity to forgive and forget past resentments and so begin the year anew and refreshed. They will also use this opportunity to come together with friends and family and spend time focusing on the relationships that are most important to them.
This welcoming atmosphere is not limited to those fasting, non-Muslims will often find themselves swept up in a sentiment of generosity, kindness and tolerance that blankets most cities. As the evenings are illuminated with activities, you may find yourself invited to share a dinner or celebration that encompasses many cultures and celebrates the power of unity.
For those who have been fasting and those who have not, there will be many events and occasions over the Eid period for which you would like to share or give a gift, especially as Eid gifting is a traditional aspect of the celebration. Here at Apartment 51, we wanted to highlight some of the most special items from our Eid Gifts collection, so you are always prepared to spread happiness and joy.
