Eid al-Fitr or the "Festival of Breaking the Fast" is one of the most celebrated of all Muslim holidays, observed by 1.6 billion Muslims around the world. During the entire month of Ramadan, Muslims observe a strict fast and participate in pious activities such as charitable giving and peace-making. It is a time of intense spiritual renewal for those who observe it. At the end of Ramadan, Muslims throughout the world break their fast and celebrate their accomplishments in Eid al-Fitr.
When to Celebrate Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of the month of Shawwal, which means "To Be Light and Vigorous" or "Lift or Carry" in Arabic. Shawwal is the name of the month which follows Ramadan in the Islamic calendar.
The Islamic or Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar, based on the movements of the moon rather than the sun. Lunar years have a total of 354 days, compared to solar years which have 365.25 days. Each of twelve lunar months has 29 or 30 days, beginning when the crescent moon appears in the sky. Because the year loses 11 days with respect to the Gregorian solar calendar, the month of Ramadan shifts forward 11 days each year, as does Eid al-Fitr. Each year, Eid al-Fitr falls about 11 days earlier than the previous year.
Some scholars believe that the first Eid al-Fitr was celebrated in the year 624 CE by the Prophet Mohammad and his followers after a decisive victory at the battle of Jang-e-Badr. The celebration itself is not directly linked to any specific historical events but is rather a breaking of fast.
