Abu Dhabi: Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, on Friday, took to Instagram to wish his followers ‘Eid Mubarak’.
Crown Prince has shared an animated video with his 15.7 million followers.
The video has yet again displayed the importance that the royal gives to his family.

The short video begins with a clip of the Dubai skyline along with some edited hot air balloons with the UAE flag and Dubai logo.
Using the Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building – as a backdrop, the video highlights those closest to Sheikh Hamdan through a series of family photos, a nod to the importance of their loved ones during the Eid celebrations.
Each picture shows Sheikh Hamdan with other members of his family, including pictures of his father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai.
Another photo of the Crown Prince with his twins, Sheikh Rashid and Sheikha Sheikha, taken on the day of their birth.
The last shot shows a card with the words “Eid Mubarak”.

Eid Al-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramzan. It is a traditional time when Muslim families gather together to pray, eat and spend time with their loved ones. Children also traditionally receive an eidiya—money spent to celebrate the occasion—which is distributed to them by older family members.

Australia announces first day of Eid Al-Fitr

[ad_1]
The Australian Fatwa Council has announced that Friday, April 21, will be the last day of Ramzan and Saturday will be the first day of Eid Al-Fitr and the start of the month of Shawwal 1444/2023.
The statement released confirmed that after inquiries to local and international observatories in Sydney, Eid A-Fitr 2023 will be on Saturday, April 22, and the first day of the month of Shawwal 1444 AH.
“In Perth, Western Australia, the new moon of the month will be born on April 20, 2023, at 12.12 pm AWST, the sun sets on the same day at 5.50 pm while the moon will set at 5.54 pm, this is not a sufficient time to sight the new moon of the month of Shawwal on that night, Therefore, Friday, April 21, 2023, will be the last day of the Month of Ramadan 1444AH,” the Council adds.

It further explained that the method by which the Mufti of Australia and the Australian Fatwa Council determined the end of Ramzan, the first days of Shawwal and the day of Eid Al-Fitr, is based on the calculated birth of the moon before sunset, the duration of the moon setting after sunset and the possibility of seeing the moon. This is a method that has been adopted by many eminent and reputable global scholars councils.
“The Australian National Imams Council and the Australian Fatwa Council acknowledge, understand and respect imams and scholars who may have a different opinion, and ask all Muslims to respect the different opinions on this subject and work for the unity of the Muslim community in preserving the common values and interests they all share,” it said.

Saudi: 20,714 mosques readied for Eid Al-Fitr prayer

[ad_1]
Riyadh: In preparations for the Eid Al-Fitr prayer, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has announced that 20,714 mosques and outdoor areas across the Kingdom are ready.
The Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance has equipped these sites with the necessary safety measures to ensure a safe environment for worshippers.
The ministry has assigned more than 6,000 observers, both men and women, to monitor mosques and places of prayer and follow up on the operations of maintenance and operating companies.

The ministry called on citizens to communicate with them in the event that anyone monitors or notices something that needs reform in the services provided to mosques.
According to the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, if the Eid falls on a Friday, then it is permissible for those who attend the Eid prayer not to attend the Friday prayer, but rather perform the Dhuhr prayer instead.
However, the ministry advises that it is best to perform Eid prayers and Friday prayers. Those who did not attend the Eid prayer are obliged to perform the Friday prayer.
The ministry issued instructions to the imams to perform the Friday prayer if that coincided with Eid so that those who did not witness the Eid prayer could perform the Friday prayer. But if there is not a sufficient number of worshipers for the Friday prayer, then the Dhuhr prayer is performed.
The ministry confirmed that the call to prayer (Azaan or Adhan) is prescribed only in mosques where Friday prayers are held. The call to prayer is not prescribed for the noon prayer on that day.

Those who attended the Eid prayer must perform the Dhuhr prayer if they did not attend the Friday prayer. The ministry relied on the committee’s fatwa, which states that Friday and Dhuhr prayers are not obligatory to perform the Eid prayer, which is incorrect and wrong.

UAE hotels see 90% occupancy as room rates surge ahead of Eid Al-Fitr

[ad_1]
Abu Dhabi: Ahead of Eid Al-Fitr holidays, the hotels in United Arab Emirates (UAE) are witnessing exceptionally high occupancy rates of nearly 90%, local media reported.
The Eid Al-Fitr holidays in UAE begin on the 29th of Ramzan and until the 3rd of Shawwal (April 20 – April 23).
As the festivities coincide with the peak of the usual travel season, hotels on Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah and Yas Island in Abu Dhabi will be packed with holiday tourists.

Although April is the peak tourism season, most hotels expect the Eid holiday season demand to be driven by accommodation enthusiasts.
As per a report by Gulf News, with accommodation enthusiasts providing more than 50 per cent of the demand, hotel room rates in prime locations average from 2,000 Dirhams to 7,000 Dirhams for a two-night stay, depending on the property.
Average daily rates for hotels in Dubai have increased by at least 45-50 per cent this month.
According to astrologers, this year in the UAE, Ramzan will be 30 days long. This gives the most likely start of Eid Al-Fitr on Friday, April 21. However, the official decision will be announced on the 29th day of the holy month of Ramzan, that is on April 19.
