The "Festival of the Breaking of Fast" is called...
- Idul Fitri, Hari Lebaran by the Indonesians
- Hari Raya Pusa by the Malaysians
- Riyoyo, Riyayan, Ngaidul Fitri by the Javanese
- Boboran Siyam by the Sundanese
- Rojar Eid by the Bengalis
- Ramazan Bayrami by the Turkish
- Eid-e-Sayed Fitr by the Persians
- Choti Eid by the Urdus
- Ramazanski Bajram by the Bosnians
Wherever you are from, whatever your nationality... I wish you "Selamat Hari Raya Puasa", "عيد مبارك", " ঈদ মুবারাক"... Maaf zahir dan batin! Have a blessed festival and happy holidays!
Btw, above is an Eid Greeting postage stamp issued by US in 2001.
During years when we had Hari Raya together we Chinese New Year, we Malaysians celebrate Kongsi Raya. When Hari Raya is close to Deepavali, we celebrate Deeparaya.
Do you know by 2011, we would be celebrating Hari Raya on 31st August. Merdeka-Raya?
