Eid-ul-Fitr, marking Ramadan’s end, is traditionally celebrated with prayers, charity, and feasts. However, for many in war-torn regions, the occasion remains somber.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other Gulf nations observed Eid with large congregational prayers at Makkah’s Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, offering prayers for peace and prosperity in the Muslim world.
