Eid Through Different Eyes: A Lighthearted Look at the Characters of the Day 

Eid is a joyous occasion that brings families and friends together to celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadan. But with all the excitement and festivities, there are always a few characters that stand out. Here are some of the types of people you might encounter on Eid. 

The Sleepyhead 

This person is probably the one who stayed up all night praying or socializing during the pre-Eid celebrations. Come Eid day, they’re the first to pass out and will probably be snoring away while everyone else is getting ready for the morning prayers. Don’t wake them up, though – they’ll need all the rest they can get for the rest of the day’s festivities.  

The Fashionista 

This person has been planning their Eid outfit for weeks, if not months. They’ve scoured the shops and online stores for the perfect dress, shoes, and accessories, and they’re not afraid to show it off. You’ll spot them from a mile away, with their hair perfectly coiffed, makeup on point, and outfit coordinated to perfection. They’re ready to slay, and they know it. 

The Foodie 

Eid is all about food, and this person knows it. They’re already thinking about what they’re going to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – and they’re not shy about letting everyone know it. They’re probably the first in line for the morning feast, and they’ll be the last to leave the dinner table. They’re not just there for the food, though – they genuinely love the sense of community that comes with sharing a meal with loved ones. 

The Family-Oriented 

This person is all about family. They’ve planned out their Eid day schedule to make sure they spend quality time with everyone, from their grandparents to their youngest cousins. They’re the ones who organize games and activities to keep the kids entertained, and they make sure to capture every moment on camera. For them, Eid is all about creating memories that will last a lifetime.  

The Overwhelmed 

With so much going on, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed on Eid. This person is probably feeling the pressure to make sure everything goes smoothly, from the morning prayers to the family gatherings. They might be running around trying to make sure everything is perfect, but they’re also the first to ask for help when they need it. Remember to check in on them throughout the day – they might need a reminder to take a breather and enjoy the festivities. 

The Chill One 

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the Chill One. They’re not too fussed about the details, and they’re happy to go with the flow. They’re probably lounging on the couch, enjoying the food and the company, and they’re happy to just be there. They’re the ones who remind us to take a step back and appreciate the moment, and to not take ourselves too seriously. 

The Religious One 

For this person, Eid is first and foremost a religious occasion. They’re focused on the spiritual significance of the day, and they’re probably the ones leading the morning prayers. They might spend the day volunteering at their local mosque or helping out with community events. They remind us of the importance of giving back and spreading kindness, which is what Eid is all about. 

The Gift-Giver 

This person loves giving gifts, and Eid is the perfect opportunity for them to show their generosity. They’ve probably been shopping for weeks, making sure to find the perfect gift for everyone on their list. They’re the ones with the beautifully wrapped presents, and they’re thrilled to see the joy on people’s faces when they open them. They remind us of the importance of giving, and of the joy that comes with making others happy. 

These are just a few of the types of people that you might encounter on Eid. Of course, there are many more – each with their own unique personalities and quirks. But no matter who you spend your Eid with, the most important thing is to enjoy the time with loved ones and to celebrate the end of Ramadan in a joyous and meaningful way. Eid Mubarak to all!
