Muslims celebrate the religious festival of Eid every year. This day marks the end of Ramadan so they eat their heart out on this day. Prophet Muhammad started this tradition in Mecca first.

It is believed that the Prophet Muhammad reached Medina on this day. During Eid, people raise their spirits high and enjoy a lot. They start preparing for Eid before a month. The excitement begins at the onset of Ramadan.

Women start preparing their dresses, bangles, accessories beforehand. On the other hand, men prepare for their traditional kurta and pyjamas. When people sight the moon for Eid, they wish everyone ‘Chand Mubarak’ as it confirms the day of Eid.

Women and girls also apply Mehendi on their hand beautifully. Similarly, houses are painted and decorated as well. Before Eid, Muslims fast, give charity, offer prayers, and perform other good deeds during the holy month of Ramadan.

Thus, on the day of Eid, everyone enjoys their day. It is a ritual to prepare sweet vermicelli known as sewaiyyan. It is prepared with two different methods and is famous worldwide.

Similarly, other delicacies like kebabs, biryani, korma and more are prepared. It is for the guests to relish and have a hearty meal with their near and dear ones.

         We will be arrive two days early before Hari Raya to make some preparations. My cousins and I will clean and decorate the house. Thus, we will cook all variety of Raya food which are rendang,nasi himpit,kuah kacang and lemang. The guy will help us to light up the fire and cook the food. 

Finally raya eid has come with a shining sun and fresh air. We woke up early to do our pray. Then, we took a bath and wore our strong red baju kurung. The guy wore the same colour as well. After that, I will go prepare all the foods and ate together. Therefore, we will ask for forgiveness and visit house to house as malay culture does on raya eid. 

We were over the moon and felt proud of the things that we has made for raya preparation.
