It marks the end of Ramadan, which is a month of fasting and prayer. Many Muslims attend communal prayers, listen to a khutbah (sermon) and give zakat al-Fitr (charity in the form of food) during Eid al-Fitr. Many Muslims dress in fine clothing and children receive gifts on Eid al-Fitr.

Since one of the Five Pillars of Islam is Zakat, the practise of charitable giving, it is common for Muslims around the world to donate money, food and other necessities to the less fortunate during Ramadan.

Charities are aiming to deliver countless meals during this years’ holy month of Ramadan. 

This year due to the pandemic, Ramadan tent permits have been revoked across the UAE. With the closure of tents, non-profit and government organisations have decided to deliver food baskets, cooked meals and other essentials to those who need them. 

The basic purpose of this event is to spread awareness among the people and children about Ramadan. Ramadan traditions around the world vary from one country to another. In the UAE Haq Al Laila celebrates the arrival of the holy month. It begins on the eve of 15th Sha’ban – the Islamic month before Ramadan.
