Eid al-Fitr is one of the biggest festivals in Islam. It is celebrated with great joy after the fast.

Muhammad instituted Eid al-Fitr after he emerged victorious from the Battle of Badr in 624 AD.^[1] People distributed sweets as a way to show their joy at the Prophet’s success. Ever since the Eid has been observed annually. 

How People Celebrate Eid Al Fitr

• Take a holy bath first thing.
• Wear new clothes. 
• Go to the Mosque for Namaz prayer. 
• Wish everyone you meet Eid Mubarak and hug them.
• Women prepare sweets with a lot of dry fruits. 
• Once home eat sweet dishes and distribute them among relatives and friends. 
• Distribute food, money, and clothes to people in need. 
• Give up one bad habit.

Thank you for journeying with us through the Sinai with the Israelites and the peoples of the Sinai this Ramadan. I highly value your fellowship and prayers. 

Now that Ramadan 2024 is over people enjoy a few days or a week’s holiday before life returns to normal. Yet for people who pray they never return to normal. Prayer changes things. It changes us. It changes our hearts, our vision, and our commitments. You now have a stake in the destiny of the people of the Sinai. 

If you would like to track with us further in the Sinai please drop a note to Kate Bown [email protected]

Most months Kate sends a one-page news/prayer summary from us by email.  

Below is an inspirational saying I stumbled across.

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey
