Celebrating EID !!!!

Eid celebrations include a lot of gifting. Muslims donate an obligatory payment to charity (zakat al-Fitr) in addition to offering thanks. This is another of Islam’s five pillars. In addition to these payments, some Muslims volunteer at soup kitchens and distribute their own food to those in need.

Children are given eidi contributions in money bags, and sweet goodies like cookies and dates are given to loved ones, neighbours, coworkers, friends, and even strangers. Family members will also exchange gifts, albeit the majority of these will be reserved for the family’s youngest members.
