On the 15th day of Eid, a busload of students from the Special Religious Class accompanied by a few teachers came visiting for Marhaban. From the historical point of view, Marhaban derived from the event when Prophet Mohamad (peace be upon him) moved from Mecca to Medina and the locals were welcoming him with some sort of chants or songs, I guess. So, in a way, marhaban was held to welcome guests to one's home with open arms, and in return, the visitors will pray for the hosts' good health and good fortune. This is a well-known activities in Johor in the month of Syawal but I am not sure whether the people in other states in Malaysia practise the same thing.
