Eid-ul-Fitr, also known as Eid-al-Fitr or simply Eid, is a significant Islamic festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide.
It is observed on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, following the completion of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, refraining from eating or drinking during daylight hours as a form of worship and self-discipline.
The end of Ramadan is marked by the sighting of the new moon, which signals the beginning of Shawwal and the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Eid-ul-Fitr is a joyous occasion that brings together family and friends.
It is a time of gratitude, forgiveness, and spreading love and happiness.
Muslims participate in special prayers, exchange gifts, share festive meals, and engage in acts of charity and community service.
Many also dress in new clothes and decorate their homes with lights and ornaments to mark the festive atmosphere.
Eid-ul-Fitr holds great cultural and religious significance in Islam and is a time for Muslims to express their gratitude to Allah (God) for the blessings and guidance received during Ramadan.
It is a time of renewal, celebration, and fostering connections with others, promoting peace, harmony, and unity among communities around the world.
