Movable Calendar Notice & Moon Sighting Caution
Eid Al Fitr is a movable lunar holiday that begins with the confirmed sighting of the crescent moon representing the start of the month of Shawwal. If the moon is not visible on the 29th day of Ramadan, Ramadan lasts for 30 days, pushing Eid Al Fitr out by one day.
Because of this, the start date displayed by our countdown is based on astronomical predictions and is subject to a 24-to-48-hour shift depending on regional moon sightings. Users should check local announcements for official dates as the holiday approaches.

How Eid Al Fitr Is Celebrated
Eid Al Fitr is a time of celebration, feasting, charity, and family gatherings. Muslims begin the day by performing a special congregational prayer (Salat al-Eid) in mosques or large open fields. It is traditional to perform an act of charity (Zakat al-Fitr) before the prayer begins, giving food or money to the poor so they can celebrate as well.
Following the prayers, families gather to share sweet treats, exchange gifts, wear new clothes, and visit relatives. Common greetings include 'Eid Mubarak' (Blessed Eid) and 'Eid Said' (Happy Eid).
