Takbir Eid Fitr Mecca

The muslims celebrated the victory of the fasting, an attempt to control ones nafs or desires. It is not that the desires are in itself bad. It is the uncontrolled desired that had led human being to astray.

The muslims are have to fast and fasting is the third pillars of Islam.. "It is a requirement for you (the Muslim) to fast in the month of Ramadhan, like that had been imposed on the people before you" So the earlier prophets had brought the same message of fasting, so was the early Jews and Christians.

In Malaysia, The celebration started from the sun set of the previous day. This is because a day in the original muslim calender start from sun set to sun set of the next day.

The people gathered in the mosques and read the takbir after the sun set prayer, the maghrib prayers. After Isya, we went to do the takbir from house to houses. This is the time to visit the neighbors, as we were too busy with our works on normal days.

I include the takbir from Mecca Mosque below.
