May He preserve unity, peace, and safety among the Muslim UMMAh and all of mankind. May we be blessed with the ability to treat each other with kindness and respect. Eid Mubarak." Mawra Hocane, on the other hand, joked about making a late appearance, likening herself to the coveted crescent.

Designer Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, better known as HSY, took to his social media to pen a poignant message. Sharing a video from his ancestral graveyard, he penned, "On every Eid, all our elders and cousins visit our ancestral graveyard, and pay respect to our loved ones who are no longer with us. It’s a tradition we have been following since I can remember and it fills me with a deep sense of peace and gratitude. The world seems to get busier every day but this visit gives our family an opportunity to meet and check on each other and see if we are all doing well. Traditions like this are why I love my country and our people. Our sense of family values makes us stronger."

As the occasion is celebrated globally, we wish everyone a very joyous Eidul Fitr. Destress post-Ramazan, and do not forget to keep those who are struggling in your prayers.
