Malawi President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera and the First Lady, Madam Monica Chakwera, on Thursday joined Muslims in the capital, Lilongwe, in celebrating Eid ul-fitr, marking the end of the month-long fasting of Ramadan.
In his message to Muslims in Malawi earlier in the day, President Chakwera wished them a memorable celebration and showers of blessings on them.
“May the end of the holy month of Ramadan bring peace, blessings, and happiness to your homes and hearts. Let us cherish the spirit of unity, compassion and generosity during this sacred time,” said the President.
During the day, President Chakwera joined some Muslims in Lilongwe in celebrating the day.
In the Islamic world, Eid ul-Fitr is a significant festival celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It holds great importance as it marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting and spiritual reflection, and signifies the beginning of a new Islamic year.
