According to our religion in Saudi Arabia we have only two holidays Alfeter holiday and Aladha holiday. In this article I will taking about Alfeter holiday which some Muslims people name it “Small holiday”.

My country use Hejra calendar which depend the moon to figure out the beginning of a new month. Alfeter holiday starts in the first day until the third day in tenth month Every year. In the ninth month all Muslims people be fast during the day that’s mean all people can not eating, drinking and smoking from sunrise time until sunset time to make people who have money feeling about poor people. So all rich people give money and food to the poor people to make the poor people feeling happy in the holiday.
The first day of Alfeter holiday, all people dress new cloths and go to mosque to pray almost one hour. After that, the rich people give some money to them family and to the poor people. Then, some people eat a big breakfast with them family and some people make a big breakfast to eat it with neighbors and other families in the same area. In this day, people spend a nice time with them family until the night.
