*~* TO ALL MUSLIM STAFFS AND PUPILS *~*
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,
the Islamic holy month of dawn-to-sunset fasting.
Hari Raya is one of the biggest holidays in Malaysia,
and many Muslims (and even non-Muslims) return to
their family home (balik kampong) driving or flying home
for a couple of days before the day to be with their families and loved ones.
There are often jams during this travelling time
but these soon resolve as other travellers reach their destinations.
Hari Raya Aidilfitri sees families and friends seeking forgiveness from each other,
visiting ancestors’ graves, saying prayers at the mosque and
visiting relatives and friends to feast traditional Malay delicacies
like ketupat, rendang, satay, lemang and curry.
In Malaysia,
children are given token sums of money from their parents or elders.
