Description

Hundreds of Muslims flocked to the Hazratbal Shrine in Srinagar for prayers on Wednesday marking the celebration of Eid al-Fitr.

"On this Eid al-Fitr the Muslim world should remember that our oppressed, people who are suffering, people who are without medical facilities," said one. "People in Palestine were suffering without food, the children were without food. We should unite, the Muslim world especially should unite and take a strong call against the forces that deprive the humanity."

Footage shows Muslims gathering at the Holy site and praying, with police officers also seen controlling the traffic. Locals are also seen collecting money in support of the people of Palestine.

"The day of celebration and we also give charity on this day," said another local, Abdul Rehman. "We prayed for the Almighty's blessings for every human being and safety to our women and of course for prosperity."

Jammu and Kashmir celebrated Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday as the Shawwal crescent moon marking the beginning of the tenth Muslim month was seen in the sky. According to media reports, the Grand Mufti of Kashmir announced the appearance of the moon late on Tuesday.

The Mufti of New Delhi reportedly announced the celebration of Eid al-Fitr across India on Thursday as the Shawwal moon wasn’t seen in other parts of the country including the capital.

Eid al-Fitr comes at the end of the month-long, dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan. It falls on the first day of the tenth month of Shawwal in the Islamic lunar calendar, commencing with the rising of the crescent moon.
