Eid-ul-Fitr and the other is Eid ul-Adha.
Eid-ul-Fitr follows Ramadan which is the ninth month of the Islamic(lunar) calendar.
Ramadan is a holy month for all Muslims to renew their focus on spiritual life and its practice in daily life.
Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan month.
Eid-ul-Fitr is officially celebrated on the first day of Shawwal – the 10th month of the year.
On this day, one wakes up early & greets the family, performing ablution (ghusl), wearing new attires.
The next is to perform prayers (Salah), sit with family, and have food together.
Visiting families and friends is also a ritual.
Eid-ul-Fitr & Eid-ul-Adha are the times at which Allah rejoices in his followers being happy & encourages joy amongst all.
The last ten days of Ramadan are believed to bring a thousand months’ worth of blessings.
