==== Pakistan ==== [[File:Eid prayers at the Badshahi Mosque.JPG|thumb|Eid prayers at [[Badshahi Mosque]], in [[Lahore]], Pakistan]] In [[Pakistan]], Eid al-Fitr is also referred to as 'the Lesser Eid' ([[Urdu]]: {{Langx|ur|{{Nastaliq|چھوٹی عید}}|translit=chhoṭī īd|label=none|rtl=yes}}, [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]: {{langx|pa|{{nq|نکی عید}}|translit=nikkī īd|label=none|rtl=yes}}) or 'Sweet Eid' ([[Urdu]]: {{Langx|ur|{{Nastaliq|میٹھی عید}}|translit=mīṭhī īd|label=none|rtl=yes}}, [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]: {{langx|pa|{{nq|مٹھی عید}}|translit=miṭṭhī īd|label=none|rtl=yes}}).<ref name=TheNation2020-06-30-01a>{{cite web |last=Niazi |first=M A |date=9 August 2013 |title=A 'Lesser Eid' |url=https://nation.com.pk/09-Aug-2013/a-lesser-eid |access-date=30 June 2020 |website=The Nation |publisher=[[The Nation (Pakistan)|The Nation]] |location=[[Pakistan]] |language=en |quote=In the subcontinent, this Eid, Eid-ul-Fitr, is known as 'Choti Eid', or the 'Lesser Eid'. This immediately sets up a contrast with 'Bari Eid', or the 'Greater Eid', which takes place just two months and a bit later. This distinction is also known in the Arab world, but by calling 'Bari Eid' bari, this Eid is already disadvantaged. It is the 'other Eid'.'Bari Eid', or Eid-ul-Azha, has the advantage of having two major rituals, as both have the prayer, but it alone has a sacrifice. 'Bari Eid' brings all Muslims together in celebrating Hajj, which is itself a reminder of the Abrahamic sacrifice, while 'Choti Eid' commemorates solely the end of the fasting of Ramazan. |archive-date=3 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200703142752/https://nation.com.pk/09-Aug-2013/a-lesser-eid |url-status=live}}</ref> People are supposed to give obligatory charity on behalf of each of their family members to the needy or poor before Eid day or, at most, before the Eid prayer, allowing for all to share in the joy of Eid. At home, family members enjoy a special Eid breakfast with various types of sweets and desserts, including [[Kheer]] and the traditional dessert [[sheer khurma|Sheer Khurma]], which is made of vermicelli, milk, butter, dry fruits, and dates. Eid is especially enjoyed by the kids, as they receive money in cash called "[[Eidi (gift)|Eidi]]" as gift from their relatives and elders.<ref>{{cite web |title=Eid al-Fitr celebrated in Pakistan with religious zeal |url=https://en.irna.ir/news/83341815/Eid-al-Fitr-celebrated-in-Pakistan-with-religious-zeal |website=IRNA |date=5 June 2019 |access-date=5 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190607040033/https://en.irna.ir/news/83341815/Eid-al-Fitr-celebrated-in-Pakistan-with-religious-zeal |archive-date=7 June 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> People tend to get fresh currency notes issued by [[State Bank of Pakistan]] with which they give to the children.<ref>{{cite news |title=SBP to issue fresh currency notes for Eid from June 1 |date=23 May 2018 |url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/320107-sbp-to-issue-fresh-currency-notes-for-eid-from-june-1 |language=en-US |access-date=25 May 2022 |archive-date=24 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180524073854/https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/320107-sbp-to-issue-fresh-currency-notes-for-eid-from-june-1 |work=The News International (newspaper) |url-status=live}}</ref>
