American Muslims nationwide will gather Aug. 9 to celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadan in a festival known as Eid-ul-Fitr. The joyous day comes as a reminder for all Muslims to reflect on their spiritual condition after a month of fasting and to work towards maintaining and improving it through prayers and righteous conduct.
During this month Muslims pay Fitrana, which is an important form of charity spent on the needy so they too can enjoy the festivities of Eid. Fitrana is yet another reminder of sacrificing for the cause of humanity.
"Eid is a time of celebration, reflection, and charity," said Wasim Malik, national vice president of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA. "It is also a special opportunity to build bridges of understanding with our non-Muslim neighbors, and that is why we invite all Americans to join us in Eid festivities Friday."
