Eid al-Fitr Celebrations in Iran: A Message of Unity for Muslim Countries to Establish Global Peace

Eid al-Fitr is being celebrated in Iran and various countries around the world, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the sighting of the new moon of the month of Shawwal.

In the capital Tehran, people gathered at the Imam Khomeini Mosalla Grand Prayer Ground to perform the Eid al-Fitr prayers. The prayer was led by the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

In Mashhad, an eastern city of Iran, Nakara tabla music was played at the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (AS) during the night, which is a tradition associated with this holy festival.

Across various parts of Iran, after fasting for an entire month during Ramadan, Muslims participated in the Eid prayers. Eid al-Fitr is a major religious celebration marking the end of the holiest month of Islam, Ramadan. It is traditionally celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, which is determined based on the sighting of the new moon by local religious authorities.

On the morning of Eid, Muslims gathered in various parts of the country to perform the special prayer. Eid al-Fitr is typically a special Salat (Islamic prayer) performed in large open fields or halls where people gather together.

In a message on Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed his respect for the leaders and nations of the Muslim world during the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Fitr, highlighting the importance of greater unity and solidarity among Muslim nations.
