I have never heard of this. Explain.
It's basically like Muslim Christmas (although this is a real generalisation right here). It comes at the end of the Ramadan fasting period.
Yeah just like Diwali is Hindu Halloween. I'm not falling for that one.
ahaha the office <3
What are we celebrating?
And Qing Ming Jie is Korean birthday!Quote:

Lol, you guys. Psy is right; it comes at the end of the fasting month, called Ramadan. It is the biggest celebration in Islam (and is almost like Christmas for Christians), where friends and family gather and bring foods and exchange gifts and party and just have a good time together. There's also a special prayer on this day where you thank God for all the blessings in your life. You also invite neighbours and anyone you know for the celebration, regardless of faith; it's a day of great happiness for Muslims.
Eid Mubarak everyone; bless you all. :aimkiss: *gives Bunny a kiss on the cheek*

I knew this much. Unfortunately, I have no idea why Muslims do this. Can someone enlightenment with a non-Wikipedia for Ramadan? History or how it came to be, anything of the sort?Quote:

I would not survive Ramadan.

Heard about it on the radio. Apparently there's gonna be extra police patrolling at cinemas this year.

You fast for many reasons; basically, it's because it's healthy, because you're supposed to feel what it's like for the poor that have no food and struggle to survive around the world every day, to realize how vulnerable and dependent humans really are, hence to be thankful for what we have instead of being jealous of what others have; you are to remember your creator in everything you do and speak kind words to your fellow beings, show humiliation and help those in need (charity is a big part of Ramadan, even more than on other months).Quote:

You also practice discipline during this month. There are many reasons, and one of the most important events of this month is that the first verses of the Koran were revealed, on a night called the Night of Power (to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel).
Come on over, bebeh~~ :aimkiss:Quote:

Regardless , Laddy you'll get a gift from me :)
Bunny, I love you regardless :D
I can't believe this thread was allowed. If it ain't Christ, you know it ain't right! Can I get an AMEN?!
But seriously, I was invited to my friend's Eid feast today, but I couldn't make it, and I was a sad panda.
This is late but eid mubarak =P
I was kidnapped to a resort with no internet access (not even my blackberry, gasp!) during Eid. It was oddly...relaxing!
