write a lettwr to best friend sharing with him how we celebrate Eid ul fitar during pandemic​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The Islamic holiday of Eid Al-Fitr starts on Sunday May 24, and many Muslims in the US are still unable to gather to celebrate.  

The holiday is a social one, where communities pack into Mosques or rented facilities to offer prayer, catch up, and congratulate each other on the new year.

While we'll be spending the holiday isolated, my friends and I reflected on what we can take away from having to reimagine how we spend it. The coronavirus pandemic has canceled a myriad of important events for people across the world. From postponed weddings and canceled graduations to gathering for religious celebrations.

As the Islamic holiday of Eid Al-Fitr approaches, my friends and I reflected on how isolation will impact our celebrations. Eid, is a social holiday, especially for those of us in the diaspora. It's a time for us to get together and in the case of Eid Al-Fitr, a chance to celebrate after spending the month of Ramadan, fasting, worshipping, and spiritually connecting with God.  

So for many of us, there's a lot of excitement around waking up early and enjoying that first cup of coffee we can drink in the morning after a month-long withdrawal. There's joy in getting ready and putting on fresh new clothes and rushing to the Mosque or a rented out high school gym or whatever facility your community managed to get to fit hundreds or thousands of people for the Eid prayer.  

Kids are running around playing, friends are catching up, and the exchange of "Eid Mubarak" or "Kul sana wa inti tayiba" (an Arabic phrase for Happy New Year) fills the room. At some point in the madness, people file into rows to offer the Eid prayer. After the prayer, while everyone has their own traditions, most usually spend the day visiting friends and relatives and participating in some sort of large organized event in their community.
