Eid Al-Fitr 2025: Digital Influencers Share Their Heartwarming Eid Memories

Eid-ul-Fitr, the day marking the culmination of the fasting month of Ramzan, is celebrated in India today, as the moon was sighted on Sunday evening. The festival is celebrated across the world on different days, and it is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, which is supposed to denote the start of the Shawwal month in the lunar Islamic calendar.Security arrangements have been put in place to prevent untoward incidents during the celebration of the festival. Eid isn’t just a festival; it’s a vibrant celebration of faith, family, and cherished traditions that create lasting memories. It’s the joy of waking up to the sound of Eid prayers, the excitement of slipping into our finest clothes, and the warmth of gathering with loved ones, sharing stories, laughter, and delicious food. Every detail, from the sweet aroma of biryani filling the air to the simple act of exchanging Eidi, carries a nostalgic charm that stays with us long after the festivities are over.But beyond the glitter and grandeur, Eid is a reminder of the bonds that tie us together—whether it’s the simple morning routine with family or the heartfelt joy of giving back. 

Aiman Khan: Eid mornings have a magic of their own, there's a unique excitement in the air that makes the day feel special. I love getting dressed in my finest ethnic attire, complete with jhumkas and carefully done makeup, just to feel my best and capture the moment. But the highlight of the day is always the family lunch, where the biryani takes center stage. No Eid is complete without visiting relatives and collecting Eidi, though this year is a little different—I’m finally at the age where I get to give Eidi, not just receive it! It’s a sweet reminder of how traditions evolve over time.

Zoha Sanofer: Amid all the Eidi collecting and hopping between relatives’ houses to wish them Eid, my absolute favorite memory is praying with my mum and sister while eagerly waiting for my dad to come back from the mosque. Afterward, we'd dive into breakfast, with mom’s sheer khurma that she’d made in the early hours while we were still snoozing. I had no idea how much I’d miss these little moments after getting married and moving out. Who knew something so simple would become the memory I’d cherish the most?
