Eid al-Fitr i Sverige

Den här helgen firar världens muslimer Eid al-Fitr, den stora glädjefest som avslutar den muslimska fastemånaden Ramadan.

Eid al-Fitr firas i upp till tre dagar i en anda av gemenskap, med mycket festmat – sötsaker inte minst – på borden, och man ska dela sin glädje genom att ge av sitt överflöd till de fattiga.

This weekend sees the start of the 3 day Eid al-Fitr festival. A chance for muslims across Sweden and the world to let their hair down after a month of fasting. Rami Abdelrahman filed this report.
