Per unique Pakistani tradition, several thousand people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa celebrated Eidul Azha on Friday along with Saudi Arabia, the US, Canada, Britain, Europe, Afghanistan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Middle East and the Gulf. The move made way for yet another instance of separate eids in the country. Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia, United States, Canada, Britain, Europe, Afghanistan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Middle East and the Gulf, the religious annual event was celebrated with devotion and fervour. Mass prayers were held across Saudi Arabia, following which animals were sacrificed to fulfil the Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi (Abrahamic Sacrifice). Indonesian Muslims also offered Eid prayers and prayed for peace in the Middle East. Millions, including children, turned to mosques to offer Eid prayers, where they prayed for improvement in the law and order in the Philippines. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made a rare television appearance on Friday, attending morning prayers as a ceasefire took effect for the four-day Muslim holiday. State television showed Assad, smiling and seeming relaxed, at an unidentified mosque in Damascus as the ceasefire, which both his regime and the main rebel group have conditionally accepted, took effect.
