What is Eid al-Fitr?
Eid al-Fitr (عيد الفطر), meaning “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is one of the two major Islamic holidays. It marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, and falls on the 1st day of Shawwal in the Hijri (Islamic) calendar.
- Celebration marking the end of Ramadan
- First day of Shawwal — traditionally celebrated for 3 days
- Key practices: Eid prayer (Salat al-Eid), Zakat al-Fitr, family gatherings, festive meals
The greeting “Eid Mubarak” (عيد مبارك) — meaning “Blessed Eid” — is exchanged between Muslims during the celebration. In Turkey, it is known as Ramazan Bayramı; in Indonesia and Malaysia, as Hari Raya Idul Fitri.
