The festival of Eid al-Fitr, also known as Hari Raya or the ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast’ is a religious holiday that marks the end of the month-long fasting of Ramadan. Falling on the first day of Syawal, the 10th month of the Hijri (Islamic) calendar, the term Hari Raya is Malay for ‘big (or grand) day of rejoicing,’ and that is with all the celebrations brought forth on this festive day. A time for fellowship and reconciliation between families and friends, Hari Raya is a momentous day for delicious home-cooked traditional meals and a reflective time for forgiveness.
With an entire month of fasting coming to an end, it’s time to celebrate big with friends and family, with feasts and gifts. As such, we take a look at some of the must-have sneakers to treat yourself or a loved one with, as a way to celebrate this Hari Raya.
