Warm wishes to those in our community celebrating Eid al-Fitr. May this Eid bring grace, peace and joy to both our hearts and homes.

What is Eid al-Fitr?

Celebrated during the first three days of Shaww膩l, Eid al-Fitr marks the celebratory end of Ramadan.

While celebrations across the globe vary, many will start their days by visiting a local mosque for salat al-eid (prayer). This is followed by visiting relatives, attending parties, preparing and eating special foods, giving gifts, and wearing new clothes.

Throughout Eid, many people will offer zakat al-fitr (food donations) to local organizations. This is done so that all may join in celebrating the end of fasting with a special meal.

How can we support one another during Eid al-Fitr?

• Connect with Dalhousie鈥檚 Multi-faith Services and meet with a Spiritual Support Team Member
• Greet community members by saying 鈥淓id Mubarak鈥�
• Be mindful of planning meetings, tests, deadlines or other events when prayer will be held
• Respect that people may choose to spend time exclusively with family, friends and community members during this celebration
• Be an advocate with Muslim peoples for fair, dignified and supportive care throughout our community

Some reflections for us all to share in as we celebrate with our neighbours

• How have you shared your gratitude with the people around you recently? How do you like to receive gratitude?
• In your culture, what role does food play in bringing people together to celebrate?
• How often do you follow through on your intentions? What can you do to be more consistent?
• What time, skills or resources can you share with a local community organization?
