(UTV|COLOMBO) – As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end, Muslims all over the world are celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr. Eid is an Arabic word meaning festivity. The month of Ramadan is a month of reflection and sacrifice, said National Unity and Co-existence State Minister A. H. M. Fowzie in his message marking Ramadan.
The message added: “Muslims fast to learn self-discipline and to feel the pain of those less fortunate so that they find the kindness in their heart to do more for society. This month is not only for fasting but for giving and caring as well.
“On the morning of Eid, special prayers are held to spread goodwill and seek blessings. Prayers are made for everyone including our country and the world for peace and harmony.
