| About Id-al-Fitr |
| Eid ul-Fitr or Id-ul-Fitr, often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Id-al-Fitr means "to break the fast" and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. In the morning everyone takes a bath, wears new clothes, applies perfume, and eats dates before walking to the mosque for Id prayers. On this day according to the Quran, Allah has intended a dole for every Muslim who is free and is in possession of alms worthy capital. These Id-ul-Fitr alms are given to the poor on Id-ul-Fitr. Id-ul-Fitr is celebrated starting on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal. Eid-ul-Fitr is linked with the Holy month of Ramadan. |
