About Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. It is celebrated with prayers, feasts, gift-giving, and community gatherings. The date varies each year based on the Islamic lunar calendar.
History & Origins of Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast) marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. It is one of the two major Islamic holidays (the other being Eid al-Adha). The celebration was initiated by the Prophet Muhammad after he migrated to Medina. The holiday begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon after 29 or 30 days of fasting. It is a time of great joy, gratitude, and community as Muslims celebrate their spiritual growth during Ramadan and thank Allah for the strength to complete the fast. The celebration typically lasts one to three days and is observed by nearly 2 billion Muslims worldwide.
