Shawwal

The month of Ramadan is the ninth of the year, and Eid is celebrated at the beginning of the 10th month, Shawwal.

Many people ran away and “up till now, the search is still going on,” resident Shawwal Aliyu said.

The Eid festival falls on the first day of the 10th month of Shawwal.

“We just hope the matter’s resolved and we can get him out of North Korea and integrate him back into university life,” Shawwal said.

They arrived in celebration, crowding six deep into the civic center on the last day of Ramadan to celebrate the end of fasting and of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Muslim calendar.
