With the holy month of Ramadan moving towards Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Gurney Paragon Mall aims to bring back the festive mood by maintaining the centre atrium as the centrepiece, showcasing a giant eight-pointed Star décor compliments with colourful flowers, colourful festive lights and beautiful decorations.
Traditionally, the eight-pointed star began to appear in Islamic art in the Middle Ages. It is referred to as khatim or khatim-sulayman, meaning “seal of the prophets”. Today, the eight-pointed star represents a symbol of hope.
Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic which has started since the year 2020, this year’s Ramadan and Hari Raya offers the spark of hope. Muslims from different states of the country can finally reunite with their families after more than 2 years of separation due to the national Movement Control Order. As the days progress into weeks, the tail end of Ramadan flourishes into that of an approaching festivity.
Homes become loud with laughter and frenzy as families busy themselves preparing cakes, cookies and decorations.
The public can come and soak in the festivities with the “Sinaran Raya” celebrations at Gurney Paragon Mall from now till June 6, June 2022. For those who have yet to shop for their new baju raya, now is certainly the time to do so.
