Eid al-Fitr or Hari Raya Aidilfitri as it is referred to in Malaysia marks the end of Ramadan, which is a month of fasting from dawn to dusk. 

Aidilfitri is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims around the world, marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. It is the only day in the Islamic calendar when Muslims are not allowed to fast.

The Keeper of the Royal Seal is the secretary to the Conference of Malaysian Rulers. He makes the official announcement of the date, marking the first day of Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri, upon consent from the Agong.

The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and every new day starts after sunset. For instance, this explains why tarawih prayers start the day before fasting, and why there are no tarawih prayers the day before Aidilfitri. 

Released in 1973, this song by legendary Malaysian songstress Saloma is a must for Hari Raya. The line goes: 'Mintak mak kuih sepotong / saya mahu makan kerna perut kosong.' which roughly translates to, 'Ask mother for a slice of sweet delicacy / I want to eat as my tummy is empty.'

Baju kelawar, also known as home kaftan, is typically worn when you need to do the dishes after the guests have left. Although many modern designs have elevated the homely baju kelawar, it's not commonly worn for special occasions like Hari Raya, when you're expected to dress up to entertain guests. (But if you do choose to wear one, no judgement - you do you!)

Zakat Fitrah, also known as Zakat al-Fitr or Sadaqat al-Fitr, is one of the five pillars of Islam and a religious obligation for Muslims to give a specific amount of alms (food or money) to the needy at the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

Ayam pencen is a term used to refer to hens which are older. The meat is harder, and therefore, would not disintegrate after several hours of simmering, as required for the rendang.

Moreh is traditionally a light meal consumed at the mosque after terawih prayers.

On the night of Lailatul Qadar, all good deeds will be rewarded in multiple folds. It falls on one of the last 10 days of Ramadan. However, the exact day is unknown.
