 What is
Ramadan?
Ramadan is celebrated
by people who follow the
religion of Islam. These
people are called Muslims.
Ramadan is the ninth month
of the Islamic calendar.
Ramadan is celebrated
because Muslims believe this
is the time when the Prophet
Muhammad (Peace Be Upon
Him) first received
the Qur’an.
During Ramadan, Muslims
over 14 don’t eat or drink
from dawn until dusk. This is
called fasting.
Ramadan is a time of
reflection, discipline and
prayer so Muslims can show
their gratitude to Allah.
What is
Eid Al-Fitr?
Eid Al-Fitr is a Festival
of thanksgiving.
‘Al-Fitr’ means breaking of
the fast.
It begins when a crescent
moon is seen in the sky at
the end of Ramadan.
People greet each other
during Eid Al-Fitr by saying
‘Eid Mubarak’.
Eid Al-Fitr is a time of
charity and gifts are
often given.
Eid Al-Fitr lasts three days,
during which Muslims visit
family and friends and eat
special foods.
1.8 billion people around
the world celebrate
Eid Al-Fitr.
