Hi Texans,
We’re going to introduce a famous celebration in Morocco and in the Muslims countries. It’s Aid-Al-Fitr. It represents the end of the sacred month: Ramadan. In this month, we fast all the day, from sunrise to sunset, during a month. We set the date by reference to the crescent of the moon.
In our religion, God (Allah) wanted us to fast to feel how the poor feels; also it’s the month when the Quran came down by an angel "Gabriel" to the Prophet Mohammed but the Quran came down to Earth in a specific night called Laylat al-Qadr and throughout the night, we pray, recite the Quran asking forgiveness for the sins committed. Our comrade will explain you in more detail this particular night.
Let’s talk about Aid-Al-Fitr or Aid-As-Saghir. In the early morning, we perform the alms of breaking the fast or Zakat-Al-Fitr. We have some rules for Zakat-Al-Fitr, We must give the equivalent of 2.10 pounds of foods like dates, dried fruits, rice, cheese to the poor.
After the Zakat, we go to the mosque for prayers or Salat Al Eid in the early morning, and then, we take a traditional breakfast, and for the rest of the journey, we eat normally.
