Eid al-Fitr is celebrated worldwide on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal, marking the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. It is one of the two official holidays in Islam, also known as the Feast of Breaking the Fast, and is often referred to as the Lesser Eid. On this day, Muslims perform a special prayer called Salat al-Eid and are expected to give charity, known as zakat and fitra, before the prayers. The festival can last for one to three days, depending on local customs, and it is forbidden to fast on this day. Common greetings exchanged include “Eid Mubarak” and “Eid Sa'id,” encouraging goodwill and forgiveness among individuals. Eid al-Fitr is recognized as an official public holiday in many countries across South and Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, as well as in regions with significant Muslim communities in America and Europe.
