Big news for everyone waiting for Eid-el Fitr! The Federal Government has decided to make the holiday longer, adding Thursday to the days off. This is great for all the people celebrating Eid, a special festival that comes after Ramadan, a month when Muslims fast from dawn till dusk.
Eid-el Fitr means the "Festival of Breaking the Fast." It's a happy time when families get together, share food, and give to those in need. Normally, this celebration lasts a day or two, but now with the extra day off, people have more time to enjoy and prepare.
Why is this extra holiday day so exciting? First, it means families have more time to get ready for Eid. They can clean their houses, cook big meals, and decorate without rushing. People who work far from home can also travel back to spend time with their loved ones, making the festival even more special.
This extra holiday is not just good news for families but for shops and businesses too. People buy new clothes and gifts for Eid, so shops will be busier. Restaurants and places where people go to have fun will also have more customers. Even buses and trains might be fuller as more people will be traveling.
The longer holiday is also a chance for people who aren't Muslim to learn about and join in the Eid fun. It's a good time for everyone to come together, share happiness, and make new friends.
So, what does this all mean? By giving one more day off, the government is showing it cares about this important festival. It helps everyone feel part of a big family, no matter what their job is or where they live. It's also good for the economy because when people celebrate, they also spend money on food, clothes, and travel.
But most of all, this extended holiday lets us enjoy the true spirit of Eid: being thankful, sharing with others, and spending time with family and friends. With the extra day, everyone can relax more and really enjoy the festival.
In short, this longer Eid holiday is good news for everyone. It makes the celebration better, helps businesses, and brings people together. Let's all make the most of this time, enjoy the festival, and wish each other "Eid Mubarak!"
