Eid al-Fitr (Muslim Communities Worldwide) (12/20)

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting in Islam. It is a celebration of gratitude for the strength to complete the fast and a time to share with others. The holiday begins with a special prayer at the mosque, followed by the giving of zakat al-fitr (charitable donations) to ensure that those less fortunate can join in the feast. It is a time for Muslims to give thanks to Allah for his blessings and to strengthen bonds of community
