Residents of around 40 villages in Chandpur district are celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr on Friday, aligning with the Middle Eastern moon sighting. The celebrations are taking place in Hajiganj, Faridganj, Matlab North, and Matlab South upazilas. The decision was confirmed on Thursday night by Dr. Bakibillah Mishkat Chowdhury, Pirzada of Sadra Darbar Sharif in Hajiganj, who stated that the celebration follows reports of moon sighting in the Middle East.
At the same time, several villages in Matlab North are also observing Eid-ul-Fitr. Dr. Maulana Syed Mohammad Maksudur Rahman, Pir of Satkania Mirzakhil Darbar Sharif, verified the information. Local sources reported that thousands of residents from villages such as Sadra, Sameshpur, Alipur, Balakhal, Lakshmipur, Kamta, Gallak, Dashani, and Mohanpur are participating in the festivities.
According to the report, this tradition dates back to 1932 when the then Pir of Sadra Darbar Sharif, Maulana Ishaq (Rah.), began observing Ramadan and Eid in accordance with Middle Eastern countries.
