The world has come a long way from online takbirs and two-metre social distancing in 2020 during Eid prayers

Muslims mark Eid Al Fitr every year at the end of Ramadan. It is considered the “festival of breaking the fast” and coincides with the start of Shawwal, the month following Ramadan.

In 2020, Eid prayers were fully celebrated at home while some countries chose to mark the event by holding virtual Takbirs and parking lot prayers, to preserve the feel of Eid – dressing up and going to prayers with the family.

After the introduction of vaccines around the world, countries started to ease restrictions and lockdown measures. Here are 10 historical mosques ahead of Eid celebrations around the world:

Sheikh Zayed Mosque – Abu Dhabi

Sheikh Zayed mosque was just a dream as recently as the 1980s, but is now noted as one of the largest mosques in the world, able to accommodate 55,000 worshippers. Situated in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, it houses one of the largest hand-knotted carpets and 82 pure white marble cladding domes in the centre of the main prayer hall, with crescent-shaped gold finials.

How it works

A $10 hand-powered LED light and battery bank

Device is operated by hand cranking it at any time during the day or night 

The charge is stored inside a battery

The ratio is that for every minute you crank, it provides 10 minutes light on the brightest mode

A full hand wound charge is of 16.5minutes 

This gives 1.1 hours of light on high mode or 2.5 hours of light on low mode

When more light is needed, it can be recharged by winding again

The larger version costs between $18-20 and generates more than 15 hours of light with a 45-minute charge

No limit on how many times you can charge

 

Heavily-sugared soft drinks slip through the tax net

Some popular drinks with high levels of sugar and caffeine have slipped through the fizz drink tax loophole, as they are not carbonated or classed as an energy drink.

Arizona Iced Tea with lemon is one of those beverages, with one 240 millilitre serving offering up 23 grams of sugar - about six teaspoons.

A 680ml can of Arizona Iced Tea costs just Dh6.

Most sports drinks sold in supermarkets were found to contain, on average, five teaspoons of sugar in a 500ml bottle.
