Hari Raya

Hari Raya Aidilfitri (also Hari Raya Puasa, literally "Celebration Day of Fasting") is the Malay term for the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Fitr. Muslims in my office celebrate Eid like other Muslims throughout the world. The term "Hari Raya" literally means "Day of Celebration" — it is also occasionally used to refer to Eid ul-Adha in the form of "Hari Raya Aidiladha".

The main greeting used by Muslims in Malaysia and Singapore is "Selamat Hari Raya" which means "Happy Eid" in Malay. Another greeting is "maaf zahir dan batin" which translates loosely to "I seek forgiveness (from you) physically and spiritually", for Hari Raya is a time to reconcile and renew relationships with others.

This year my office decided to come with a more elaborate E-Raya greetings. It was great time to spur everyone into the celebration mood. As one of my bosses commented, "nice video, good teamwork and sahabat spirit.….semua nampak segak dan bergaya (everyone looks smart and elegant)", I hope this will give you a glimpse of the Hari Raya in Malaysia.
