Iranians call the day as “Eide Fetr”. Eid prayer is very important part of Iranian celebration. A huge population, women and men go to mosques to say Eid prayer. For prayer they wear “Prayer Chador” which is a light color prayer clothes.
They buy or cook sweets, cakes and candies for home and bring some to mosques and share their happiness with others.
After prayer, they pay Zakat Al Fitrah. They know it as an obligation and pay to poor people. Too many colorful lights in streets are on and people wear their best clothes.
Iranians like to spend Eid lunch with relatives. Most time young ones go to elder family’s home and spend a blessed day together.

Wow, what a glimpse at the life and day of Eid in your country. Just viewing these pictures gives a feeling of intense religious conviction. You never get to view what it is like from a far the neat and straight rows as you can not appreciate the look when you are in prayer. The first and sixth picture give a majestic feeling of concentration and respect to our creator.
Thanks posting this

Lalla Mona,

UmmAbdurrahman, What a beautiful description. I had not thought about this point. Thank you to remind..
Liya, Thank you
Leila, lol.. Chair man of Iranian Parlimant was in Bosnia last week. Why you didnt tell him to bring kind of Chador from Iran to you?!
Sumera, Thank you
Sevar, Oh my God, how it can be possible that women dont go to mosque? Why there is kind of laws in your country? That’s against Islam. May someday women in your country move to take their islamic rights insha’allah. Mosque is God’s home for all, not Men’s home just for men!!
Suroor, Thank you

Thanks for sharing the pics, the women over here too do go to the mosque to pray on this auspicious day. We would pay zakat fitrah before the Eid -ul Fitri at the mosque or any booths found in the country, may it be a mall or office. Visit my blog to see some of the pictures taken on this auspicious day.

Ramadan came, but Bairam is with us.
The lock came, but the key is with us.
Mouth is closed. Eyes are opened.
That brilliance that the eyes see is with us.
We have cleaned soul and heart with fasting.
The dirt which has been with us is cleansed now.
Some stress comes from fasting,
But the invisible treasure of heart is with us.
Ramadan came to the heart’s temple;
The one who created heart is with us.
Since Salahuddin* is among this crowd,
Mansur and Beyazid* are with us.
– Ghazal No. 370 from the Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi
