D13: Hari Raya

Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a Muslim holiday that is celebrated by Muslims all over the world to mark the end of their fasting month. In Malaysia, Muslims start the day by wearing new clothes and congregating in mosques early in the morning for prayers followed by visits to the graves of the departed. The young will ask for forgiveness from their elders and homes will be open to relatives and friends. Plenty of traditional Malay delicacies are served during this festive season. The celebration lasts for a month but most of it is concentrated in the first three days. Muslims also give packets of money to children when they go visiting. Overall, Hari Raya Puasa is a joyous occasion for Muslims.

Prayer Suggestions: • Pray for God to bless our Muslim neighbours. • Pray that they will also enter into Jubilee.
