Eid al-Fitr

Islamic holiday on the first of Shawwal

Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر, romanized: ʿĪd al-Fiṭr, lit. 'Festival of Breaking the Fast') is the first of the two main festivals in Islam, the other being Eid al-Adha. It falls on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-dusk fasting (sawm) of Ramadan. The holiday is known under various other names in different languages and countries around the world. Eid al-Fitr has a particular salah that consists of two rakats generally performed in an open field or large hall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Fitr
