About Eid al-Fitr

Eid al-Fitr is an important Islamic holiday marking the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. It begins at the start of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. Because Islamic months are based on lunar observation or calculation, the Gregorian date can vary by year, country, and religious authority.

Significance

Eid al-Fitr is significant as one of the two major Eid celebrations in Islam. It marks the conclusion of Ramadan and is recognized by Muslim communities around the world. The holiday’s timing depends on the end of the lunar month, which is why dates may differ slightly between local calendars and official announcements.
