Haza Yaumul 'Aziim

Means today is the greatest day. The day where Muslims around the world celebrate their win against lust. It's what we call fasting, which is compulsory to every single Muslim throughout the month of Ramadhan.

This festive is called Eidulfitr. Eid means a festival, while the word Fitr carries a meaning of going back to the neutral. Most Ulama' agreed that the fasting month is the process of freeing ourself from any bad elements. And Eidulfitr is the day where the bad elements should have been gone, and also created as to celebrate human's pure nature, pure form -- clean, just like a plain white cloth.

There's no ritual included, only the chanting of Takbir which can be heard all day long.
