As the holy month of Ramadan approaches its end, Muslims around the world have started preparing for their yearly celebrations of Eid-el-Fitr. Eid-el-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the new moon sighting of Shawaal.
Many Muslims like to celebrate by dressing up and wearing their best clothes on Eid day and going out to meet friends and relatives looking and smelling good.
In fact, it is established that wearing one’s best cloth on the Eid day is in line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) who was known to have worn his best cloak on Eid.
However, every culture has its own style and sense of dressing which also may vary from person to person according to their preferences.
Let us have a look at how Muslims from different parts of the world dress up on Eid day.
