the new moon of Shawal (10th lunar month of Islamic calendar) will mark the end of 'Ramadan' and a day of festival called Eid-ul-Fitr will start. Eid means recurring happiness or festivity. Al Fitr means breaking of fast. Thus Eid Al Fitr is celebrated on the first day of Shawal, to mark the end of a month long fast during the month of Ramadan. Around the world, Eid is celebrated with enthusiasm and fervor and Muslims from all walks of life can be seen adorned in beautiful new clothes, visiting the mosques to attend Eid prayers. Greetings of "Eid-Mubarak" or "Happy Eid" are exchanged. A very important aspect of Eid is the charity, which all the Muslims are expected to extend to the needy. Eid Al Fitr is a day of joy and thanksgiving. On this day, Muslims show their joy for the health, strength and opportunities of life, which Allah has given them to fulfill their obligations of fasting and other good deeds during the month of Ramadan. It is also a day of forgiveness and good feelings towards other fellow human beings.

Ramadan ends today.
Eid ul-Fitr or Id-Ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break the fast" (and can also mean "nature", from the word "fitrah"); and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period.
May there be peace in Mindanao, in the entire Philippines, and in the whole world!
I know, usualy we send for Eid a picture of a mosque, koran or a flower, but why not a table with a food like an invitation to a dinner. :-)
Take what you want to eat, but let some for the other guests.
Forget your differences, and embrace others as your own brother, because its Eid.
May God accept our fasts, and forgive our sins, and bless us for the year ahead.
Eid prayers/ July 2014.
Like all the other years, with the passing of time came "Eid Ul Fitr", perhaps the biggest Islamic celebration per annum. The little ones were ready to decorate their palms,with intricate "Henna Powered" floral patterns and what not. If you look closely, you can also visualize their minty fresh traditional shoes and clothing. Boy, are they having their time or what?
I remember when we had little to spare or pose about in our good ole' "Eid Days". Thats what you get when your parents care more about an honest masters degree in Engineering than bankrupting the university they are appointed to herald. I call all these "Consumerist Memorabilia". Many may call me a no good,unyielding hag who can barely cope with the fashion diaspora in today's youth. You know what the truth is? I think I might exactly fit that description :) Isn't that what age brings with its turning? A long sought maturity that turns out to be boring, an alluring set of responsibilities that turn out to be an eyesore?
Again, Growing up sucks.
PS: Financing your own "Hunger for gears" is pretty cool though.
Happy Eid-ul Fitr to all muslims where ever you are.

This the "traditional" Eid biryani in our household. It took 3 hours to make. There are more steps involved than in a chemistry experiment. It has four layers: two of rice, two of mutton. It contains over twenty spices including saffron. It tastes heavenly...
It goes without saying, I didn't make it :-)
Here is the recipe.

Police in Greater Manchester are appealing for respect from visitors to the city during the Muslim religious holiday, Eid-ul-Fitr.
The festivities will take place on Friday 15 June–Sunday 17 June and mark the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting.
Each year the Rusholme area of Manchester attracts thousands of people into the city who visit as part of the festivities.
Superintendent Glenn Jones for the City of Manchester division, said: “I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our Muslim community Eid Mubarak.
“I would also appeal to those visiting the area to enjoy the festivities in the most peaceful and responsible way. Our officers will play their part to ensure the communities and those visiting are kept safe and that there is minimal traffic disruption to the area.
“While we don’t wish to cause anyone any alarm our patrols will be increased in the main Wilmslow Road area to ensure everyone can enjoy the occasion. There will also be plain clothes officers operating in the area to provide an extra reassurance to the community. Any crime or antisocial behaviour will be dealt with swiftly so that there is minimal disruption to the community.
“Eid is an important date in the Muslim calendar and we are extremely proud that Rusholme is a focal point for Muslim communities throughout the UK. This festival traditionally attracts a large amount of visitors to Manchester and they will be given a warm welcome.”
The pay and display bays on Thurloe Street (from Basil Street to Crescent Range) will be suspended on 15th, 16th and 17th June between 5pm–6am.
If any members of the community would like to discuss any issues in relation to Eid, either before during or after the event, please call the Longsight Neighbourhood Policing Team on 0161 856 4223 or email longsight@gmp.police.uk.

Eid-ul-Fitr, variously called as choti Eid (small Eid in Urdu) or Ramazan Eid (as it marks the end of Holy month of Ramazan Shareef), is one festival which is eagerly awaited by all Muslims across the world.
Ramazan is the month of fasting where eating is forbidden from Dawn to Dusk. Therefore, Eid marks the end of month-long fasting and one may eat as he may wish, and whenever he wishes so.

Eid Mubarak to all of you
Eid ul-Fitr, Eid al-Fitr, Id-ul-Fitr, or Id al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr), often abbreviated to Eid, is a three-day Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity," while Fiṭr means "original nature," implying the restoration of one's best human composition. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the thirty days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The first day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month Shawwal.

We made this from semolina and yoghurt, baked then poured syrup all over it.
---------------------
The recipe is from the book Lebanese Cooking by a Susan Ward. It's not a bad book, since it has many of the recipes that we were looking for, but I'd recommend reading through the recipes before you try it, and if you have any experience with these foods, adjusting to your particular taste. For example - for Basboosa, she says don't get it too soggy, and makes it with less semnah than traditionally used. We like it soaking in syrup and rich in butter.
