As the holy month of Ramadan concludes, Muslims in Pakistan are preparing to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, a festival symbolizing gratitude, love, and unity. This joyous occasion not only marks the end of fasting but also emphasizes reflection, kindness, and sharing happiness with those around us.
In Pakistan, Eid-ul-Fitr in 2025 is expected to be observed on Monday, March 31. The Ruet-e-Hilal Research Council anticipates that the Shawwal moon will be visible on the evening of Sunday, March 30, provided the weather conditions are clear. Consequently, the federal government has announced public holidays from March 31 to April 2, allowing citizens to celebrate Eid with their families and loved ones.
Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. The exact date is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, which may vary depending on local observations.
A Festival of Gratitude and Joy
Eid-ul-Fitr is a time to be thankful for Allah’s blessings after a month of fasting and devotion. It’s a day that begins with special Eid prayers, followed by heartfelt embraces, delicious feasts, and the exchange of warm greetings. Families and friends come together to celebrate, making cherished memories that last a lifetime.
Eidi, Feasts, and Festivities
For children, Eid is even more exciting because of Eidi—the tradition of receiving money and gifts from elders. Homes are filled with the aroma of festive delicacies like sheer khurma, biryani, kebabs, and sweets. The streets come alive with joy as people visit loved ones, dress in new clothes, and spread happiness wherever they go.
Spreading Kindness and Generosity
Beyond the festivities, Eid reminds us to give back. Acts of charity and kindness, such as giving Zakat and Fitrana, ensure that those in need can also share in the joy of Eid. This beautiful tradition strengthens the bond of humanity and reflects the true spirit of Islam.
Eid Mubarak, Pakistan!
On this special day, we wish everyone in Pakistan and around the world a very Happy Eid! May this Eid bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to every home. Let’s celebrate with love, kindness, and prayers for a brighter, stronger Pakistan.
Eid Mubarak! 🌙✨🎉
