Eid Fitr/ Idul Fitri/Aidil Fitri/ Eid Mubarak 1435 H @ Seoul Masjid

This is our 4th Eid Mubarak in Seoul. Yes...it's been 4 times. Gee..how time flies. 

Eid Mubarak..or Idul Fitri is a celebration for Muslims across the world celebrating the end of the Ramadan, the fasting month.  I think ..thousands of people thronged the Masjid for the celebration. (it's just inside the Masjid, more were outside).

After the prayer finished, people got up and began congratulating one another.... 

Oh, this year..I got to accompany Nuri. He's the son of my friend, mbak Anna. He's half-Indonesian, half Korean. While her Mom was at the women's section of the Masjib, I got to be with him all along.

Then...we bumped into mas Iksan..who turned out to be mbak Anna's close friend as well. I was a bit taken aback when I found out that they knew each other all along. What a small world.  

Then..as we stepped out of the Masjid and saw the front yard, we could see lots of jamaah were already on their feet...congratulating, hugging one another.... 

and not to forget....selfie-ing and taking pictures to seize the moment.

Happy Eid Mubarak 1435 H. 

Happy Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1435 Hijriyah

The kid's favorite channel, Cbeebies Channel is now 'congratulating' and/or 'celebrating' the Hari Raya Idul Fitri. 

One Month Long Fasting Month 'Ramadan' is over.

And now....it's Hari Raya...

Happy Hari Raya.

for everyone celebrating it.

Mohon Maaf Lahir & Batin.

Eid-ul Fitr /Idul Fitri/Aidil Fitri/Lebaran/Eid Mubarak...........in Seoul Central Masjid (part 1)

Happy Eid Mubarrak, Selamat Hari Raya, Selamat Lebaran.

After 29-day long fasting month, Muslims in Korea celebrated the first day of Syawal Month or better known as Eid Mubarak.

We, Indonesians, call it 'Lebaran' or Idul Fitri. 

We went to Seoul Central Masjid in Itaewon to have our morning prayer and then..meeting with other friends to 'congratulate' on passing the Ramadan Month. 

I think thousands flocked into the Masjid. Not sure how many..but I am sure that Masjid was full..over capacity^^...so many that (as it happened in previous years) people were praying on the parking lot of the Masjid. 

After the prayer, they surely did not want to miss a one-year only chance of meeting with other fellow Muslims from around the world to greet and congratulate one another..

 and..yes...taking pictures. oh, well....
