Eid al-Fitr
عيد الفطر
1 Shawwal every year
Eid al-Fitr, the 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 begins with a special prayer (Salat al-Eid) performed in congregation, usually in open areas or large mosques. Before the prayer, Muslims are required to pay Zakat al-Fitr, a form of charity given to the poor so they can also celebrate. The day is marked by feasting, visiting family and friends, giving gifts (especially to children), and wearing new clothes. It is a day of joy, gratitude, and forgiveness. The celebration typically lasts one to three days, depending on the country and tradition.
