Kuwait Cemeteries See Crowds As Families Pay Tribute On Eid
KUWAIT CITY, June 6: From the early hours of the morning on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, the air resonated with the unified takbirs and praises of God Almighty, marking the end of Ramadan and the beginning of one of the most cherished festivals in the Islamic calendar. As prayers were offered and greetings exchanged, families across the country embraced long-standing traditions of visiting relatives and strengthening the ties of kinship — a deeply rooted custom that defines the spirit of Eid. Eid is not only a time for festive gatherings and communal joy but also an opportunity for reflection and remembrance. Islam encourages believers to uphold familial and social connections, extending even to those who have passed away. For many, the holiday becomes a moment to visit the graves of departed loved ones — family members, friends, and close companions — offering prayers and recitations from the Holy Quran for their souls. In cities and towns across the nation, cemeteries saw a significant number of visitors who came to pay their respects. Families stood by gravesides, reciting Al-Fatihah and other verses, seeking forgiveness and mercy for those who are no longer with them. Despite the passage of years, the memories of those who shared past Eids remained vivid in the hearts of their loved ones. The act of visiting graves during Eid is a gesture of spiritual continuity and devotion, a way to honor the deceased while reaffirming faith. It is a reminder that love and connection endure beyond life, and that remembrance is a sacred part of celebration.
