KUALA LUMPUR: Muslims in the country celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri on Monday (May 2) in a lively atmosphere with mosques and surau filled with congregants who brought along their family members, all decked in bright and colourful Raya clothes, to perform the Aidilfitri prayers after two years of muted celebrations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hari Raya Aidilfitri, a joyous occasion for Muslims as it marks the culmination of the holy month of Ramadan, was celebrated almost as it was pre-pandemic with many taking the opportunity to visit relatives and enjoy delicious Raya dishes after "balik kampung" (return to hometowns) to celebrate the special day with their loved ones.
