Muslims around the world celebrated Eid al-Fitr today. Hundreds gathered in Midrand at the Nizamiye Mosque for morning prayers.


The celebration marks an end to the holy month of Ramadan, a period of praying in the evenings and fasting between sunrise and sunset.

The Nizamiye Turkish Mosque in Midrand is believed to be the largest mosque complex in the southern hemisphere.
