LAHORE: Pakistan is celebrating Eid ul Fitr across the country today with devotion and enthusiasm, as large congregational prayers were offered in mosques, Eidgahs, and open grounds. Religious scholars, in their sermons, emphasized the deeper spiritual meaning of the occasion, urging unity, peace, and solidarity, particularly in light of ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
The day begins with special Eid prayers, bringing communities together in a spirit of gratitude and reflection after the holy month of Ramadan. As one of the most significant occasions in Islam, Eid ul Fitr marks the completion of fasting and is celebrated with compassion, generosity, and togetherness.
Following prayers, families gather to celebrate, wearing new clothes, visiting loved ones, and exchanging warm greetings of “Eid Mubarak.” Acts of charity remain central to the festivities, with people giving Zakat al-Fitr to ensure that those in need can also partake in the joy of Eid.
Children look forward to receiving Eidi gifts of money from elders while households prepare traditional dishes and sweets, adding to the festive atmosphere. The day reflects not only celebration but also a shared commitment to kindness, unity, and social harmony.
