Eid ul fitar  :-

Eid ul-Fitr, also known as the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Muslims all over the world. The festival marks the end of the month-long period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection known as Ramadan.

Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The exact date of the festival depends on the sighting of the crescent moon, which signals the end of Ramadan and the start of Shawwal.

On the day of Eid, Muslims wake up early in the morning and perform a ritual washing, called ghusl, to cleanse themselves. They then put on new clothes and head out to perform Eid prayer, which is held in a large congregation either in a mosque or an open space. The Eid prayer consists of two rak'ahs (units of prayer) and is led by an imam.

After the prayer, Muslims greet each other with the Arabic phrase "Eid Mubarak," which means "Blessed Eid." They then return home to spend time with their families and loved ones, exchanging gifts and feasting on special foods. The traditional Eid dishes vary from country to country, but they often include sweet and savory dishes, such as biryani, kebabs, and sweet desserts.

In addition to the feasting and celebrations, Eid ul-Fitr is also a time for charity and giving. Muslims are encouraged to give Zakat al-Fitr, a charitable donation that is mandatory for all eligible Muslims before the Eid prayer. The donation is typically given in the form of food or money to those in need, ensuring that everyone in the community can also partake in the festivities.

Overall, Eid ul-Fitr is a joyous occasion that celebrates the spiritual growth achieved during the month of Ramadan and provides an opportunity to come together as a community in celebration and gratitude.
