This marked the beginning of divine guidance for humanity and formed the foundation of Islam. \nArabia before Islam was characterized by a lack of unified moral and spiritual guidance. \nProphet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would often retreat to the Cave of Hira on Mount Jabal al-Nour to meditate and reflect on the social injustices and spiritual void in society. At the age of 40\, he began experiencing dreams and signs that hinted at his impending mission as a prophet. \nOccurred during the month of Ramadan\, in the year 610 CE\, in the Cave of Hira. Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) appeared to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This moment overwhelmed Prophet Muhammad\, and he returned home to his wife\, who comforted him and affirmed his mission. \nThe Quran was revealed over a span of 23 years: 13 years on monotheism\, the afterlife\, and moral rectitude\, and 10 years providing detailed laws\, social systems and guidance for the Muslim community. This gradual process allowed the Prophet and his followers to internalize and implement the Quran's teachings effectively. \nThe Quran has since inspired millions\, shaping the lives of individuals and communities across generations. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nMuslims dedicate time to recite the Quran\, reflecting on its meaning and teachings. Special emphasis is placed on improving the understanding of Quranic verses and implementing their lessons in daily life. \nSince Nuzul Al-Quran typically falls in Ramadan\, Muslims perform Taraweeh prayers to seek blessings and deepen their connection with Allah. \nMany attend lectures\, sermons or study circles focused on the significance of the Quran\, its revelation\, and its role as a guide for humanity. \nMuslims use this day to make heartfelt supplications\, asking for forgiveness\, guidance\, and blessings. Laylatul Qadr\, in particular\, is a night when prayers are believed to be especially accepted. \nCharity holds a central role in Ramadan\, and many Muslims increase their acts of generosity on Nuzul Al-Quran. \nIslam in the World\nIslam is a monotheistic religion and one of the world's major faiths\, with over 2 billion followers globally. It is centered on the belief in Allah (God) as the one and only deity and the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the final messenger. \nThe religion's name\, "Islam"\, means submission to the will of Allah\, emphasizing a life of worship and peace. \nBelief in the absolute oneness and sovereignty of Allah\, and Allah is eternal and all-knowing. \nProphets are chosen by Allah to guide humanity. Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final prophet in a line that includes Adam\, Noah\, Abraham\, Moses\, and Jesus (peace be upon them). \nIslam's holy book\, revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over 23 years\, and it is considered the literal word of Allah\, providing guidance for all aspects of life. \nBelief in life after death\, where every individual will be judged based on their deeds. The righteous are rewarded with paradise\, while the wicked face punishment in hell. \nAngels are created by Allah from light and carry out His commands. Notable angels include Jibreel (Gabriel)\, who delivered the Quran to Muhammad. \nIslam includes several branches based on the schools of thought and cultural practices. For example\, \n– Sunni Islam: comprising the majority of Muslims (85-90%). Follows the Quran\, Hadith\, and the practices of the Prophet's companions. \n– Shia Islam: A significant minority\, with a distinct emphasis on the leadership of the family of the Prophet. Found predominantly in Iran\, Iraq\, and parts of South Asia. \n– Sufism: A mystical dimension of Islam focused on spiritual connection and love for Allah.

It marks the culmination of Ramadan\, the holy month of fasting\, prayer and reflection. \nThe observance of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid al-Fitr are based on revelations in the Qur'an. In the second year of Hijrah (622 CE)\, fasting during Ramadan was prescribed to Muslims as a way of fostering self-discipline\, empathy for the less fortunate and spiritual purification. \nThe first Eid al-Fitr was celebrated by Prophet Muhammad and his followers in 624 CE\, following the Battle of Badr. It symbolized gratitude to Allah for the strength and unity shown during Ramadan and the victory in the battle. \nEid al-Fitr is an occasion to thank Allah for granting Muslims the strength to fast and for the guidance and blessings received during Ramadan. \nOver centuries\, the celebration of Eid al-Fitr has expanded from its origins in Medina to become a global festival observed by Muslims in diverse cultural contexts. \nToday\, Eid al-Fitr is one of the two major Islamic holidays\, celebrated by millions of Muslims worldwide. While customs and traditions vary across cultures\, the core themes of faith\, gratitude\, and community remain universal. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nEid al-Fitr is a joyous occasion celebrated with a mix of religious and cultural practices. The day begins with acts of worship and continues with festive activities. \nMuslims gather in mosques or open spaces for a special congregational prayer held in the morning. The prayer consists of two units and is often followed by a sermon. After the prayer\, Muslims offer supplications to thank Allah for the strength to complete Ramadan and seek His blessings for the future. \nMuslims give charity before the Eid prayer. This ensures that everyone\, including the less fortunate\, can partake in the celebrations. \nPeople wear their best or new clothes\, often traditional attire\, symbolizing purity\, renewal and respect for the occasion. \nFamilies come together to celebrate\, often traveling long distances to meet relatives. Muslims greet each other with Blessed Eid or other local expressions of goodwill. \nA variety of delicious dishes and sweets are prepared\, with traditional meals varying by region. Sharing meals with friends\, neighbors\, and the less fortunate is a hallmark of the celebration. \nMany people visit the graves of deceased relatives\, offering prayers and reflecting on their memories. \nThe Islamic Lunar Calendar\nThe Islamic lunar calendar is a calendar system used by Muslims worldwide to determine Islamic holidays\, rituals and events. It is based entirely on the cycles of the Moon\, making it different from the Gregorian solar calendar. \nThe calendar is based on the phases of the Moon. Each month begins with the sighting of the crescent moon\, making it a lunar calendar. It starts from the year 622 CE\, the year of the Prophet Muhammad's migration (Hijra) from Mecca to Medina. \nIt consists of 12 lunar months\, totaling 354 or 355 days\, which is about 10 – 12 days shorter than the solar year. \n1.

It was not initially a gazetted public holiday\, but Muslim communities celebrated it with prayers at mosques\, festive meals\, and traditional gatherings. \nThe celebration was centered in Malay kampongs (villages) and areas like Geylang Serai\, which became a cultural hub for the Malay community. \nAfter World War II\, recognition of religious and cultural diversity became more prominent. \nIn 1966\, a year after Singapore's independence\, the government gazetted Hari Raya Puasa as an official public holiday to honor its significance for the Muslim population. This was part of Singapore's policy of respecting and celebrating its multicultural heritage. \nToday\, Hari Raya Puasa is one of Singapore's most celebrated festivals\, recognized not just as a religious occasion but as a symbol of the country's multicultural harmony.
