Hello and ASAK Everyone!
Eid al-Fitr is the festival that marks the end of Ramadan, but what is it, and how is it celebrated? Here's what people should know about the Islamic festival that closes out a holy month of fasting and religious study.
During Ramadan, the Muslim community fasts from dawn to sunset, abstaining from food, drink and sexual relations and spending time in prayer and worship.
At the end of the month, when a new moon is spotted, Muslims celebrate with Eid al-Fitr. The festival is celebrated around the world during the first three days of Shawwāl, which is expected to begin on the weekend of March 29 in 2025.
