When do Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr?

Eid al-Fitr is celebrated at the end of Ramadan, marking the conclusion of a month-long period of fasting and reflection observed by Muslims. This festival is an important occasion that signifies gratitude to Allah for the strength shown during Ramadan and is a time for communal prayers, feasting, and giving to charity. The holiday takes place on the first day of Shawwal, which is the month following Ramadan in the Islamic lunar calendar. Celebrating Eid al-Fitr at this time allows Muslims to express their joy and thankfulness at the successful completion of their spiritual and physical fast.
