About 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. The celebration begins with a special communal prayer (Salat al-Eid) held in the morning.
Muslims celebrate by wearing new clothes, giving gifts, visiting family and friends, and preparing special festive foods. An important aspect of Eid al-Fitr is Zakat al-Fitr, a charitable donation given before the Eid prayer to ensure that those in need can also enjoy the celebration. The festivities typically last for three days.
