Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims. Hari Raya literally means “celebration day”, and Hari Raya Aidilfitri is the day that marks the end of Ramadan. Hari Raya Aidilfitri sees families and friends seeking forgiveness from each other, visiting relatives and friends to feast traditional Malay delicacies like ketupat, rendang, satay, lemang and so on. In Malaysia, children are given token sums of money from their parents or elders. The Ramadan period has communal aspects to it with many of the basic values of the Muslim community, such as empathy for the poor, charity, worship, steadfastness and patience being expressed more during this period.
During Ramadan, decorations of houses, oil lamps and colourful lights decorate big malls like Mid Valley, One Utama, Pavilion, Sunway Pyramid and the Curve. Little shops also are decorated in the lead-up.
Across the country, the Ramadan month provides great food choices for those who like to sample authentic Malay cuisines. Ramadan bazaars are set up across various neighbourhoods with a huge selection of food stalls lining the streets.
Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a joyous celebration that involves happy feasting in homes everywhere where family members greet one another with Selamat Hari Raya.
So, here I want to say Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims, especially to my readers.. Enjoys your Raya..
