As the month of Ramadan comes to an end for Muslims around the world, the DA extends our best wishes to all of those who will be celebrating Eid al-Fitr, also known as the festival of the breaking of the fast.

  • Eid, a celebration which marks the end of the holy month of fasting for Muslims, is one of the Muslim community’s most important religious holidays. It begins this evening and extends until sunset tomorrow.

The month of discipline is celebrated and rewarded by the day with family as what has passed is reflected on and gratitude is expressed. It is a time to be thankful for the blessings received and the spiritual growth throughout Ramadan.

The DA believes that one of our greatest strengths and sources of pride is our cultural diversity. We recognise the immeasurable contributions that the Muslim community makes to the fabric of our society.

Eid Mubarak!
