In Moscow, worshippers gather in prayer, embracing the unity and peace that Eid brings. Over in Kenya, hundreds come together at Tononoka grounds in Mombasa, while in Port Sudan, large congregations fill stadiums to offer their heartfelt prayers. The essence of Eid is felt across different continents, where the shared experience of faith connects people beyond borders.
Even in the midst of conflict, the resilience of faith shines through. In Gaza, Palestinians pray among the rubble of a destroyed mosque, a powerful symbol of hope amid adversity. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, gifts are handed out to Muslim children in Lviv, offering a moment of joy despite the hardships of war. At the historic Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, families gather, reflecting on the deeper meaning of the celebration.
Eid is also a time of togetherness and kindness. In Rotterdam, children join adults in prayer, while in Lisbon, Portugal, Muslims warmly greet one another in Martim Moniz Square. In London’s Burgess Park, women worship in an outdoor prayer gathering, and in Naples, Italy, worshippers come together outside Plebiscito Square. The beauty of Eid is its ability to bring people from different walks of life into a shared moment of gratitude and joy.
From Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque to the outskirts of Peshawar, Pakistan, where Afghan refugees pray, the spirit of Eid knows no boundaries. It is a time to celebrate, to give thanks, and to extend kindness to those around us. No matter where it is observed, Eid al-Fitr carries the same universal message—one of unity, generosity, and hope for a better future.
Eid Mubarak to all!
