How We Celebrate
Hari Raya Aidilfitri, also known as Eid, is a joyous festival in Singapore marking the end of Ramadan. Muslims engage in acts of compassion, fast from dawn to dusk, and worship during this holy month. On the day of Hari Raya, families don new clothes, visit the mosque for prayers, seek forgiveness from elders, and indulge in home-cooked feasts of delectable Malay dishes
Traditional attire, such as the baju kurung, adds a splash of color and cultural richness to the celebrations. Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a time of contemplation, celebration, and strengthening of bonds between friends and family.
