H.R. No. 36
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Eid al-Fitr is an observance of enormous
significance in the lives of the more than 400,000 Muslims who call
Texas home; and
WHEREAS, Marking the conclusion of Ramadan, a month of
fasting, prayer, and self-reflection, Eid al-Fitr coincides with
the beginning of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic calendar,
with the date of the observance varying each year based on the lunar
cycle; and
WHEREAS, During Eid al-Fitr, sunrise is solemnized with a
communal prayer, Salat al-Eid; the holiday continues with official
receptions and private visits, greetings of "Eid Mubarak," and the
giving of presents; in addition, people may visit the final resting
places of relatives, volunteer, or perform other acts of charity in
the spirit of Eid; the many customs that accompany Ramadan are
emblematic of the rich and diverse traditions that define Muslim
cultures; and
WHEREAS, Muslims contribute in myriad ways to the economic,
cultural, and social fabric of our state, and it is indeed fitting
to acknowledge the profound importance of Eid al-Fitr to the
members of this vibrant community as they celebrate with friends,
families, and fellow worshippers; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize Eid al-Fitr 2025 and extend to Muslims
of Texas and across the globe sincere best wishes for a joyous and
meaningful observance.
