Also known as: Eid ul-Fitr, Eid, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Lebaran, Ramazan Bayramı
Eid al-Fitr is the celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. It falls on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar, once the new crescent moon has been sighted.
The day begins with a special Eid prayer, followed by visits to family and friends, festive meals and gifts for children. Before the prayer, Muslims give Zakat al-Fitr to those in need.
These examples cover major regional and diaspora traditions. They are representative, not an exhaustive list of every country or community that observes Eid al-Fitr; customs can also vary within a country.
Eid al-Fitr is a public holiday lasting several days, with morning prayers, family visits and festive meals.
The day begins with Eid prayer, followed by family visits, gifts or eidiya for children, and sweets such as ma'amoul and date-filled ka'ak.
