Eid ul Fitr, also known as Eid al-Fitr or simply Eid, is a major islamic festival. It marks the end of the month-long fasting period of Ramadan. It is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar.
The day of Eid ul Fitr begins with the sighting of the new moon on the night before, after which Muslims offer special prayers known as Eid prayers in mosques or outdoor spaces. People then greet each other with the phrase "Eid Mubarak," which means "blessed Eid."
It is a time for joy, feasting, and charity, with Muslims typically sharing food and gifts with family, friends, and those in need. In some countries, Eid is celebrated for up to three days, and many businesses and schools may be closed during this time.
Eid ul Fitr is an important occasion for Muslims around the world, and it represents a time of renewal and spiritual growth.
