In terms specified by the Muslims is Eid is a day of victory and show the end of the day during Ramadhan. Hari Raya on my hand is assembled. Family gathering from far back to the village merely want to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri with relatives. Usually, Aidilfitri always provides various behaviors in our society in Malaysia and overseas Muslims. To me , Aidilfitri always give joy to me every year because every time I return home, I was always greeted by relatives who had not seen. We know each other since childhood. My family comes from the town that are far from the village. We could only meet each other on the day of Aidilfitri only.
