On Eid a guest - Asiya was invited to the elemetary classroom. She explained the significance of Eid and Ramzan or Ramadan to the children.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and a time when Muslims across the world fast during the daylight hours. Muslims follow a lunar calender, so Ramadan moves forward by ten or eleven days each year.
During Ramadan, get up early before dawn (Fajr) and have a light meal. This time is known as Suhoor. At the end of each day (Maghrib), Muslims traditionally break their fast with a meal called the Iftar. Following the custom of Prophet Muhammad, the fast is often broken with dates, then followed by a prayer and dinner.
Ramadan is a time of worship and contemplation. Muslims celebrate the time when the verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. A time to strengthen family and community ties. Ramadan concludes with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr.
Eid-ul-Fitr marks the breaking of the fast at the end of Ramadan. Lasting 3 days, it is a time for family and friends to get together, for celebrating with good food and presents for children, and charity. It's date is decided by the sighting of the new moon.
Asiya taught the children some songs (Nasheed). The children they did some painting on the theme of Eid and later applied mehendi on their hands. The celebration ended with everyone enjoying some sweet 'sheer kurma'.
