Jumu'atul-Wida
Last Friday in the month of Ramadan before Eid-al-Fitr
Jumu'atul-Wida (Arabic: جمعة الوداع meaning Friday of farewell, also called al-Jumu'ah al-Yateemah Arabic: الجمعة اليتيمة or the orphaned Friday Urdu: الوداع جمعہ Al-Widaa Juma) is the last Friday in the month of Ramadan before Eid al-Fitr. This is a holy day for Muslims.
Muslims ask for Allah's forgiveness and they give to the poor on this day. They offer prayers and they believe that prayers made on this day will be answered. Muslims believe giving to the poor (zakat) on Ramadan will bring them wealth and blessings during the year and in the future. The Jumu'atul-Wida is a chance for Muslims to say goodbye to Ramadan as Eid al-Fitr approaches.
