Muslims worldwide are gearing up to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, and people are eagerly waiting for the dates to be announced. This article provides information about the 2023 Eid dates in Saudi Arabia, India, and other countries, as well as the significance of Chand Raat, the night before Eid-ul-Fitr.
Eid 2023 Date in Saudi Arabia, India, and Other Nations
The Muslim festival of Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long period of fasting, prayer, and reflection. The date of Eid-ul-Fitr is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, and it varies from country to country, depending on the lunar calendar.
In 2023, Muslims in Saudi Arabia, India, and other countries will celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr on April 22nd or April 23rd, depending on the sighting of the moon.
Chand Raat: The Night Before Eid-ul-Fitr
In South Asian cultures, particularly in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, the night before Eid-ul-Fitr is known as Chand Raat. “Chand” means moon, and “Raat” means night in Urdu, so the term refers to the night when Muslims sight the crescent or new moon.
Chand Raat is a festive occasion, with people shopping for new clothes, jewelry, and other items, preparing special dishes, and decorating their homes. Women often apply henna or mehndi on their hands and feet, while children enjoy fireworks and other forms of entertainment.
