Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid e-Fitr, which in 2009 occurs on September 21. Literally the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," Eid e-Fitr is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations (the other occurs after the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca). At Eid e-Fitr people dress in their finest clothes, adorn their homes with lights and decorations, give treats to children, and enjoy visits with friends and family.
A sense of generosity and gratitude colors these festivities. Although charity and good deeds are always important in Islam, they have special significance at the end of Ramadan. As the month draws to a close, Muslims are obligated to share their blessings by feeding the poor and making contributions to mosques.

excuse me?
by skhel on Mon Sep 21, 2009 08:57 PM PDTI think you have a shorter memory. What does celebrating Eid have to do with religious fanatics who have abused the name of Islam and humanity? They are not Moslems. You must also remember it was our dear brothers and sisters who were also combatting their abuse in the name of this religion.

Are you Iranians?
by Takavar on Mon Sep 21, 2009 05:13 PM PDTHow can you as Iranians(?) wish one another HAPPY FITR(FETR)? It was just 3 month ago that our brothers and sisters were raped and killed by damn islamists in Iran. Yes, those criminals are celebrating the same Eid fater in Iran as you do here, go and join them. Do you have a short memory or you don't care what happened to your people in Iran? What happened to your conscience? No guilty conscience? A bunch of.........
Happy Fetr to all my Moslem friends!
by Azarin Sadegh on Mon Sep 21, 2009 02:32 PM PDTIt is strange that I don't have many Iranian friend who does roozeh during the month of Ramezan, but when I was a student in France, I had many friends who were devout Muslims and really celebrated this day, and still send me greeting cards! The few Iranian Moslem friends I have in LA, would go to Khaaneghah weekly, still they don't do roozeh!
So Happy Fetr to everyone who celebrates Fetr!
I am honored to add my

Happy Eid with some shart -o-ghayd,
by jimzbund on Mon Sep 21, 2009 06:41 AM PDTHappy Eide e Fitr to the bafitrat Muslims who fasted during the Ramadan and no living creature suffered from their actions during this period. Otherwise the namaz & roozeh is baatel and your efforts in vain. Hopefully we will all celebertate the real Eid, NowRooz all together soon.

Which Eid is this?
by Ashkan on Sun Sep 20, 2009 11:37 PM PDTI am truly confused. Isn't this so called Eid part of the same religion whose leaders and scholars are suffocating the nation of Iran? How could you possibly be embracing and amplifying the practices of a religion whose scholars back in Iran order people beaten, imprisoned, raped, and killed? Anybody remembers Neda Agha Soltan? One would hope that, given the freshness of the events in Iran and the fact that the practice of fasting is mandatory, people would be a bit hesitant to celebrate it.
I am well aware of the fact that there are many good Moslems. But, power and wealth put many faithful to test and Islam is exactly at that juncture in Iran and it is not shining.
Long live Iran

by bambi on Sun Sep 20, 2009 07:41 PM PDTIs that the day that you can finally eat in the public, and not being afraid of being harassed, arrested, flogged, beaten, etc? That must be a relief. So I guess the phrase "happy fitr" probably reflects upon a happy occasion for a lot of folks !
Happy Eid to you
by IRANdokht on Sun Sep 20, 2009 06:47 PM PDTand to all muslims who observe the Fetr celebration.
I am with Ebi on this... as one of the all-time roozeh kharan crowd, I hope you remembered your friends in your prayers.

To all muslim who practice Islam as a medium to communicate with their creator on a platform of private ,personal worship and not as pretenders who use it as tools of tyrrany.

PS-ek[little PS] Mr. SamSam thanks for your [ghadam ranje] however, what is with qualifying thingi there? ;-)

That's funny Samsam,
by Q on Sun Sep 20, 2009 01:50 PM PDTFirst, thanks for the gesture. But it's curious, when you congratulated Rosh Hoshonah, I didn't see any qualifications (for example "only to THOSE jews who are not a tool of imperialism, or land theft") in your post?
Is there a bit of hypocrisy in your message, or is it that you think everyone other than Muslims can do no wrong?
Just curious.
