The Muslim holy month of Ramadan is drawing to an end and Muslims around the world will soon start celebrating the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Eid is a joyous time marked with congregational prayers and festivities that typically include family visits, gatherings and new clothes. But this year, Eid al-Fitr is approaching amid the Iran war, which has been roiling many countries in the Middle East and leading to far-reaching consequences beyond. Some common Eid greetings are: Eid Mubarak, or Blessed Eid, and Happy Eid.
