Muslims across the world are celebrating the holy festival called Eid, and that includes the community here in Utah as well.
“Eid is the day of celebration,” explained Imam Shuaib Din with the Utah Islamic Center. “There’s a natural sense of happiness, accomplishment, joy that comes with that accomplishment.”Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam where people fast without food and water from sunrise to sunset, and they try to improve themselves spiritually as well.
Din says this is an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate each other’s company. To celebrate Eid, Din said hundreds gathered at a prayer meet Friday morning. He is glad to see more acceptance from the larger community.Ramadan is a challenging time, so getting support from employers helps.
