It is an Islamic tradition to perform a special namaz (prayer) in the name of Allah (God) during the festival of Eid.
The festival of Eid, which is determined based on the movement of the moon, is celebrated the day after the first sighting of the moon on Shukla paksha, which begins after the end of Ramadan.
On the day of Eid, the main religious text of the Islamic community, the Quran, is recited by the Molvi (religious leader) and inspires them to live with good thoughts and good deeds.
