Article#21. Assalam o alaikum, Hi! Good Morning. How are you dear readers. Yes! I am fine but tired of work from some days. I didn't sleep well from continously 3 days, from the Moon night to 3rd day of Eid. I was so much busy. Too many guests, and serving them is not easy if the number of guests is more than your capacity of work, and this exactly happened with me in these recent days. Well all of my Muslim friends know very well about our Eid festival, as well as my non Muslim friends who are neighbors of some Muslims also have information about Eid, how it's celebrated, how relatives visit each other. How these days are spent actually. Im going to discuss all of this as under. May be all of my friends know about the Religious festivals of Muslims, but may be you have partial information about that all, the second purpose of this article is to make you familiar with our doings on Eid. And the first main purpose is to share my personal thoughts with you all. ❤️ Because read.cash is also a diary for me where i write my everyday life thoughts and saving them to read later. ❤️

Muslims, follow moon months in everything related to their religion. Unlike the English Calendar the Moon calendar don't have fix days in the month, sometimes the month could be of 30 days and sometimes it is of 29 days(this system of moon months decreases a year 10 days in each, it means if Eid now held at 3 May, next time it will be at date of 23 of April, and next year Eid will be dated at 13 of April, next year after that it will be on 3 of April. I hope you understand this). And so, Muslim look at the sky and find moon to start a new month if people can see moon the new month is started, and at the end of Ramadan a government community used to see the moon with a telescope on 29 and 30th of Ramadan. If moon is shown the the next day is of Eid. In this year Ramadan completed its 30 fasts then the Eid came.

The night before Eid is called moon night. When it is confirmed that tomorrow is Eid, we went of a moon night shopping. We bought hina, bangles, dresses, and a lot of food for next day cooking and spent a lot of time in bazar, really enjoyed every moment. A special thing that i forgot to mention about moon night is that it is special night for married couples, s3x and any activity like that even in husband wife is not allowed(it is strictly forbidden for gf and bf). So not doing something like s*x for whole of month, it must be a special night for marriage people hahahah. Well i was just tickling. Finally moon night celebration is over.

Next day is of Eid, yes it is Eid day. The whole family woke up so early. Offered morning prayers 1/5(Muslims have to say prayers five times in a day). So it was our first prayer. Now boys need to get prepared for Eid Prayers(called Eid Nimaz). And we have a tradition here that something sweet should be eaten before the Eid prayers. So females 9f the family cook sweet food called 'siwaiyaan' in local language. Mostly siwaiyaan are Cooked in every home. After eating siwaiyaan. Boys go to Masjid to offer prayers. (Eid is a reward for Muslim people for offering prayers in the whole month of Ramadan). Eid nimaz consist of two Rakats. The first rakat has 7 Takbeers and the second Rakat has 5 Takbeers in it. Approximately it(Eid nimaz) takes 5 minutes to be offered. Then after that every male person meets, hugs and greets to all other males in the Masjid. An atmosphere of happiness spreads there. The beautiful segment of distributing Eidi in children gets start then. The elder gives eidi to younger children. Sometimes the goods of eating like candies and biscuits are distributed among children.

Then after that everyone gets back to home, some of them goes to graveyard to greet their beloved people who are buried under the ground. 💔. Then after coming from them a new segment starts, which is visiting each other. Females have so much burden on them these days, i personally was very much tired at the end of the day. So much relatives visited us, as i am newly married, the people from my mother's side visited a lot. Almost 7 families along with their children visited me in different times in recent three days. First one of my mom's brother came with his wife and children , i love their children special the female child named as Lali. She is just like my daughter or a little sister. Then i served food to them, this is called as Sweet Eid, so sweet foods with every meal were must. They left us after 4 hours they came, then another uncle of me came to us. Then one after another.

In this way, everyone visited us in first two days of Eid. The third day of Eid was a day when we visited our relatives in their homes. First we(i and my husband) went to my father's house, they greet us with happiness of the festival, they served food, we spent almost 40 minutes there, then we moved forward to my brother's home who is also newly married. We spent 30 minutes there, then after that we visited our 4 uncles, one after another. In this way we spent our time by being sincere with everyone. We came back to home at 3rd day of Eid at the time of 11:00 PM.

Now, today is 4th day, the holiday for EID is over, everyone is getting to its normal routine. The offices are open today. Schools are also open, children are following the routine. And i am feeling relax now, a session of happiness of three days is over now. In all this time 8 only checked notifications here on readcash, i read articles of some of my favorite writers, i tipped them, but never wrote the article, because i didn't have much time to be given, now i am totally free, and back on my track, i will visit every notification regularly from now on.

THIS IS HOW, I SPEND MY EID. ENJOYED A LOT, WAS SUFFERING FROM BUSY ROUTINE AS WELL. BUT OVERALL THERE WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. THIS EID WAS 1/2 NOW THE NEXT EID 2/2 OF THE YEAR WILL BE AFTER 2.5 MONTHS. THE BIG EID IS AHEAD.
