Joy colors the Eid al-Fitr celebration. Every Muslim worldwide certainly feels happiness every time they celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

After fasting during the month of Ramadan, Muslims worldwide celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of fasting from eating and drinking, including Muslims in Indonesia. Although the celebration of Eid al-Fitr is different for those who believe in it, the main purpose of the celebration is to purify the heart like a newborn baby to the world. Fasting is not just about restraining the lust for food and drink, but also being able to control and train emotions, and thoughts from excessive desires that tend to be negative.
