In Eid Al Fitr, Muslims thank and express their gratitude to Allah (God) for providing health and resistance to them during Ramadan. They wear new clothes, prepare special delicacies, do charity, and come with their loved ones.
Iranians, like other Muslims around the world, mark Islamic events in Eid al-Fitr after a month’s fast from dawn to dusk.
Because Iran has many different ethnic groups, people in each Iranian province have a unique tradition on every occasion, including St. Eid al-Fitr.
One of Eid al-Fitr’s most famous rituals is prayer. The Eid al-Fitr is one of the recommended prayers held as a congregational prayer on the morning of Eid during a particular ritual. Prayers are held anywhere in the country.
