Eid-al-Fitr traditionally starts with congregational prayers at a mosque or an open-air venue, where young and old gather in celebration and to wish each other on this day.
On Saturday, a handful of Muslim religious leaders gathered at Three Anchor Bay to sight the new moon. This is a customary act, in which hundreds of Muslims gather to witness the sighting, which indicates whether another day of fasting will be upheld or if the day of Eid will be commemorated. Two mosques in Salt River, currently emptied of worshippers, will use its loudspeakers to broadcast the chanting of the Takbir, and families are invited to stand on their front porch and join as well as wave and wish their neighbours.
