Eid Mubarak to all Muslims celebrating today
The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadaan
Eid-ul-Fitr, which is being celebrated today (June 5) by Muslims around the country, is the festival of the “breaking of the fast”. It is an important religious day celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadaan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
The day celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadaan. The day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month of Shawwal.
The date for the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on the observation of the new moon by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality.
A blessed day to all Muslims out there who are celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr today!
