For our Muslim friends, 21 April this year has a special meaning. It marks Eid al-Fitr or Hari Raya Puasa, the end of Ramadan and their month-long fasting.
Why do you need to dress up for Eid?
In Islam, the Eid holidays are the most important times of the year and call for special occasion attire.
If you aren't Muslim, you may be wondering why the Eid holidays — Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha — call for dressing up. The reason can be traced back to their belief that the Prophet Muhammad was known to wear his best cloak for both days. Today, Muslims follow his example by donning their best Eid fashion.
Are you celebrating Hari Raya Puasa too? Here are some dresses for Eid that you can wear.
