After one month of fasting, now it's time to celebrate!
1st Shawwal, year 1429 under the Muslim's calendar. Hmm...579 years difference.
'Hari Raya' literally means "Day of Celebration" and Hari Raya Aidilfitri is also known as Hari Raya Puasa which means "Celebration Day of Fasting".
On this day the Muslims also seek forgiveness from others thus they have this verse 'Maaf Zahir dan Batin' which translates loosely to "seeking forgiveness (from whoever) physically and spiritually.
So tomorrow is the day that we forgive and forget all the bad things that has been done unto us by others as Hari Raya is a time to reconcile and renew relationships with others. Shall we?
Okay, I hereby wish all the Muslims of the world especially my Muslim friends,
'Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin'.
