Sydney celebrates end of Ramadan 

Published on 24 October, 2006 

Eid Ul Fitr was celebrated on October 23 at CQU Sydney International Undergraduate Campus, marking the end of the month-long fast during the holy month of Ramadan.

PhotoID:3594 The festival begins at the first sight of the new crescent moon.

'Fitr' means 'to break', signifying the breaking of the fast. 'Eid' means 'festivity', so Muslims around the world enjoy festive foods with family and friends.

For a Muslim, Eid is a day of thanksgiving. On the day of Eid, fasting is forbidden since this day marks the end of the month-long fast. In the morning of Eid, Muslims are encouraged to enjoy a sweet snack such as dates.

Students were treated to baklava and Turkish delight as sweet treats to break the fast.

Eid Mubarak (Happy Eid) to all! Photo: Abhishek Seth, Deepak Arora, Barbara Abou-Lehaf (Campus Director), Dilsher Singh and Fahmid Ibne Ali.
