Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Assalamualaikum,To All muslims.After One month in Ramadhan we had fasting and now come HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI. The day where we celebrate the success of us fasting without complaining and sincerely doing it for ALLAH s.w.t. The celebration is determined by sighting of the new moon on the day, before the next month on the Muslim calendar, Syawal.The words ‘Hari Raya’ mean 'day of celebration.' Muslims starts the day by wearing new clothes and congregating in the mosques early in the morning to perform Hari Raya Puasa prayers followed by visiting the graves of the departed. The young will ask for forgiveness from their elders and have open house for relatives and friends to come to their house. Plenty of traditional Malay delicacies are served during this festive season. Houses are thoroughly cleaned and decorated, and lighting of oil lamps welcomes the angels which are believed to be visiting the earth during the seven days preceding the festival. The celebration lasts for a month but most of the celebration is concentrated in the first three days Visiting Muslim homes on Hari Raya Puasa, you can expect to taste a wide variety of delicious spicy dishes. Some favorite dishes that can be found in Muslims homes on this special occasion are ketupat, lontong, nasi padang and beef rendang. The Muslims also give packets of money to kids when they go visiting. The packets are usually green in color and children often look forward to getting these money tokens on Hari Raya Puasa. Overall, Hari Raya Puasa is a joyous occasion for Muslims.
