How is Eid usually celebrated?
Eid is traditionally observed with communal prayers, followed by gatherings with family and friends. Many mark the occasion by wearing special outfits, exchanging gifts, and visiting loved ones. The day also symbolises a sense of accomplishment and gratitude, as during Ramadan, Muslims dedicate themselves to self-discipline and worship for thirty days.
