Eid-ul-Fitr is an Islamic festival which falls on the first day of Shawwal, the month which follows Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. On the first of Shawwal all Muslims throughout the world, celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with great joy. Eid-ul-Fitr is the time to share happiness with others and say thanks to Almighty Allah for all the blessings you have.
Kids are most excited about Eid-ul-Fitr. Usually parents are too much busy on the Eid days and thus ignore their kids. Kids indulge themselves in non Islamic celebrations. At that time, it is the responsibility of parents to guide your children about Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations. Teach your kids the true Islamic spirits of Eid celebrations.
As Eid-ul-Fitr is our religious festival so guide your kids the true Islamic spirits of Eid celebrations. For the other nations, holiday is a chance to immerse in worldly pleasure but for the Muslims, Eid is an occasion to increase the good deeds by bringing happiness to the poor.
