Eid is the most anticipated holiday in the Islamic calendar, following the most sacred season of the year for Muslims. It translates into 'Festival that breaks the fast'. Before the end of Ramadan, Muslims are expected to pay Zkat al fitr, which is a charitable donation for the holy month. This is usually a nonation of food or money to buy food so the needy can have a holiday feast. This donataion is different from the annual zakat that is required of Muslims, calculated based on personal wealth, to contribute to a worthy cause. Picture: World Trade Centre Dubai
