Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina and all over the world have welcomed Eid al-Fitr.

This Eid, the faithful welcomed after the month of Ramadan which they spent in fasting, submission and prayer. Eid al-Fitr lasts three days. It is the time when Muslims visit their family, relatives and friends.

The central Eid ceremony of the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina was held in the Gazi Husrev Bey Mosque in Sarajevo and the Eid sermon was delivered by Grand Mufti Husein Kavazovic.
The morning prayer was held at 5:40 am. Then a festive program was held. The Eid prayer was offered at 6:51 am. This was followed by Eid greetings.

The central Eid celebration for the area of the Srebrenica municipality was traditionally held in the crowded White Mosque.
In addition to the White Mosque, Eid prayers were offered in Suceska, Potocari, Luka, Krusev Dol, Osmaci, Tokoljaci, Slapovici, Dobrak and Osat.

The Eid prayer in the White Mosque was led by the imam of the Majlis of the Srebrenica Islamic Community, Damir Pestalic, who said in his Eid message that “the month behind us is a month of mercy and forgiveness, and that Eid is a holiday of joy that should be shared with others.”

Many faithful from Banja Luka, other cities surrounding towns and abroad prayed this morning's Eid prayer in the Ferhat Pasha mosque in Banja Luka, where the sermon was delivered by Banja Luka Mufti Ismail Smajlovic.

“I want to congratulate all Muslims on Eid Mubarak Olsun, wishing all citizens comfort in the days of Eid, and to share the joys that Muslims celebrate around the world. As the Banja Luka Mufti, I want to share the joy and satisfaction that today's Eid al-Fitr begins in cheerfulness, in light, in beauty, as befits Banja Luka as a city. It makes me happy to see the cheerfulness on the faces of our believers, citizens, as it is tradition, as it is custom”, said the Mufti adding that he hopes that during Eid they will have the opportunity to exchange a lot of positive energy and kind words which will lead to a better tomorrow.
