News Today: Muslims in Sri Lanka Celebrate Eid-Ul-Fitr with Festivities

Muslims across Sri Lanka are celebrating Eid-Ul-Fitr today, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The celebration follows the sighting of the crescent moon for Shawwal, as confirmed by the Colombo Grand Mosque.

Eid-Ul-Fitr, also known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast, is one of the most significant religious occasions in Islam. It is a time of joy, gratitude, and togetherness, where families and communities come together to offer special prayers, share meals, and exchange heartfelt greetings.

The day begins with the Eid prayer, performed in mosques and open grounds across the country. Many Muslims also engage in charity by giving Zakat al-Fitr, a mandatory donation to help those in need, emphasizing the spirit of generosity and compassion.

Eid celebrations in Sri Lanka include vibrant gatherings where people dress in their finest attire, visit loved ones, and enjoy traditional delicacies such as biriyani, watalappam, and sweet treats. The streets are filled with an atmosphere of happiness and unity, as people embrace the values of forgiveness, kindness, and gratitude.

This year, the Eid-Ul-Fitr festivities are especially meaningful, as communities come together in the spirit of harmony and faith. As part of this joyous occasion, Legacy Daily warmly extends its heartfelt wishes to all our Muslim readers.

✨ Eid Mubarak! May this day bring peace, happiness, and countless blessings to you and your loved ones. ✨
