Honoring Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 Traditions and a Historical Literary Tribute-Puri

Jaswant Singh Puri/ March 31,2025

Eid-ul-Fitr, also known as the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is a joyous occasion marking the end of Ramadan, a sacred month of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims worldwide. In 2025, Eid-ul-Fitr is on March 30th or 31st, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon. The festival begins with a special prayer at mosques, followed by gatherings with family and friends, sharing festive meals, giving charity (Zakat al-Fitr), and exchanging gifts.

Eid embodies the values of gratitude, generosity, and community spirit. Traditional dishes such as sheer khurma (a sweet vermicelli dessert) and biryani are enjoyed, while new clothes and social visits enhance the celebrations. Across the world, Muslims take part in these festivities, reinforcing unity and spiritual renewal.

As Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 approaches, it serves as a reminder of not only spiritual devotion but also the lasting impact of cultural and intellectual contributions across generations.
