assalamualaikum :)
today is a celebration for muslims after 1 month of fasting (no eat or drink from sunrise until sundown) and it's called "HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI". and the term "DUIT RAYA" is like you get 'ANG POWS' for the chinese during their CHINESE NEW YEAR. it's a similar concept.

depends on where you are AND what race. from what i know, the mid east/arabian countries have stronger belief in muslim religion. like us in asia (to be more precise, south-east asian) we're more open.
i myself, live in MALAYSIA where the 3 biggest races here are malay, chinese and indians, a multi-racial country. so we have a fine blend of culture. here we celebrate each others festives. be it CNY, EID FITR, DEEPAVALI. even XMAS.in a year we get 4 types of major public holidays on our calendars.
as for myself, i'm not so religious. well, go figure :) different people, different thinking.
to those who are celebrating HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, my fellow muslim brothers and sisters (wherever you are) i wish all of you a very happy raya and god bless. and to my non muslim friends. have a good hari raya too. it's time to eat all those delicious ketupat, rendang and lemang. now let's go and collect duit raya! wait wait! FATIN NADIRAH ROSLAN, you can't go anywhere! you should study for spm.
bye, assalamualaikum
