Muslims and their Festive Delights

January 2024

Imagine a world where every day is a celebration, where people come together to rejoice in really a unique way. Well, this happens in the various festivals around the Muslim world. From colourful parades to mouth-watering treats, there is something unique, and interesting for every one of us. So, in the enchanting world of Muslim festivals, every celebration is a tapestry woven with the threads of love, faith, and community. From vibrant markets to the sweet aroma of delicious dishes, these festivals bring people together in the most heartwarming ways. 
Chaand Raat – Pakistan
In Pakistan, the night prior to Eid-ul-Fitr is known as Chaand Raat (the Night of the Moon). It is a celebration in itself. The evening Shawwal moon marks the end of the sacred month of Ramadan and the coming of Eid the very next day. The word ‘Eid’ itself means celebration. With the sighting of moon, homes, streets and markets come alive with jubilance and enthusiasm. At stalls in the market, families shop for the last-minute festive items. The air overall is filled with excitement, as people eagerly enjoy the sighting of the new moon.
Eid-ul-Fitr – The Taste of Victory
The next day is Eid. Imagine a month of fasting, and then imagine the joyous feast that follows. It’s Eid-ul-Fitr. On this day, families come together and celebrate the end of Ramadan with delicious sweets, new clothes, and, of course, the spirit of giving. It’s like a dessert-filled treasure hunt that leaves everyone with a heart full of gratitude.
Hajj – The Pilgrimage
Every year, millions gather in Makkah for Hajj – a journey of spiritual significance. Though it is not a festival in a traditional sense, yet the atmosphere is incredibly festive as people from different corners of the globe unite at one place. It’s a breathtaking display of unity in diversity within the Ummah.
Eid-e-Milad – The Prophet’s Birthday
Lights and religious gatherings mark the celebration of Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) birthday on 12 Rabi-ul-Awal in almost all Muslim cultures. It’s a time to reflect on the teachings of compassion and kindness, while enjoying the company of family and friends.
Laylat-ul-Qadr – The Night of Power
    Known as the Night of Power, Laylat-ul-Qadr is a special night during the last 10 odd nights of the month of Ramadan. It’s a time for intense prayer, reflection, and seeking blessings. Imagine the world bathed in the soft glow of twinkling lights as people come together for a night of spiritual connection.
