    Eid al-Fitr (Arabic: d al-Fir, IPA: [id al fitr], "festival of breaking of the

    fast"), also called Feast of Breaking the Fast, the Sugar Feast, Bayram (Bajram),
    the Sweet Festival and the Lesser Eid, is an important religious holiday
    celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic
    holy month of fasting (sawm). The religious Eid is a single day and Muslims are
    not permitted to fast on that day. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29
    or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The
    day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month of Shawwal. This is a day
    when Muslims around the world show a common goal of unity. Muslims believe
    that they are commanded by God, as mentioned in the Quran, to continue their
    fast until the last day of Ramadan and pay the Zakat and fitra before offering the
    Eid prayers. Eid al-Fitr was originated by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is
    observed on the first of the month of Shawwal at the end of the month of
    Ramadan, during which Muslims undergo a period of fasting. According to certain
    traditions, these festivals were initiated in Madinah after the migration of
    Muhammad from Mecca.
    General rituals

    Eid al-Fitr is celebrated for one, two or three days. Common greetings during this
    holiday are the Arabic greeting Eid Mubrak ("Blessed Eid). Muslims are also
    encouraged on this day to forgive and forget any differences with others or
    animosities that may have occurred during the year.
    Typically, practicing Muslims wake up early in the morningalways before
    sunrise offer Salatul Fajr (the pre-sunrise prayer), and in keeping with the
    traditions of the Prophet Muhammad clean their teeth with a toothbrush, take a
    shower before prayers, put on new clothes (or the best available), and apply
    perfume.[9]
    It is forbidden to fast on the Day of Eid.[10] It is customary to acknowledge this
    with a small sweet breakfast, preferably of date (fruit), before attending a special
    Eid prayer (known as salaat).
    As an obligatory act of charity, money is paid to the poor and the needy (Arabic:
    Sadaqat-ul-fitr) before performing the Eid prayer.
    Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. This has to do with
    the communal aspects of the fast, which expresses many of the basic values of
    the Muslim community; e.g., empathy for the poor, charity, worship,
    steadfastness, patience etc. Fasting is also believed by some scholars to extol
    fundamental distinctions, lauding the power of the spiritual realm, while
    acknowledging the subordination of the physical realm. It also teaches a Muslim
    to stay away from worldly desires and to focus entirely on the Lord and thank
    Him for his blessings. It is a rejuvenation of the religion and it creates a stronger
    bond between the Muslim and his Lord. After the end of Ramadan, is a big
    celebration of Eid.
