Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the solemn period of re-evaluation of Ramadan.

When is the party?

Ramadan lasts between 29 and 30 days, depending on when a new moon is sighted by local religious authorities.

The observation of the new moon means that Eid al-Fitr can begin.

Precisely, when followers choose to observe it, it varies because there is little consensus in the faith as to whether the moon should be seen with the naked eye and whether it must be seen in the country where the celebrations take place.

The date of Eid al-Fitr depends on the lunar calendar, which is why it falls annually on a date different from the Gregorian calendar.

This year, Eid al-Fitr takes place from Tuesday, June 4 in the evening to Wednesday, June 5.

The festival is a day when Muslims thank God, known as Allah in Arabic, for his strength and blessings, hoping that the commemoration of Ramadan will bring them closer to God.

It was celebrated for the first time by Mohammed in 624 after a victory at the battle.

How is it celebrated?

Several traditions are observed on Eid al-Fitr, one of which involves the recitation of a certain set of prayers especially for the occasion, called Salat al-Eid.

Muslims usually gather in mosques or at outdoor venues such as parks to recite prayers on the first morning of the festival.

They will then sit with their family and friends for breakfast, their first meal of the day after a month of fasting.

Traditionally, Eid al-Fitr is celebrated for three days and is a national holiday in Muslim countries.

In the UK, Muslims tend to celebrate the festival for a day and may be away from work or school for the occasion.

Zakat al-Fitr is another important tradition of giving to the poor at the end of Ramadan.

In 2016, it was estimated that British Muslims gave an average of £ 371 each to charity during Ramadan.

What is the difference between Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha?

Eid al-Adha is held later in the year and is considered a more sacred observance than Eid al-Fitr.

It takes place on the 10th day of the last month of the Islamic calendar and involves Muslims from all over the world traveling to Mecca to go on a pilgrimage.

This year, Eid al-Adha takes place from Sunday, August 11th to Thursday, August 15th.

It is known as the "Feast of Sacrifice" and honors the sacrifice of the prophet Ibrahim of his son Ishmael, an act of submission under the order of Allah.

How to wish a happy Eid to somebody

The phrase commonly used by Muslims to wish a happy Eid to someone is "Eid Mubarak", which translates to "Blessed Eid" in Arabic.
