About: Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr is the earlier of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam. Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar; this does not always fall on the same Gregorian day, as the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on when the new moon is sighted by local religious authorities. The holiday is known under various other names in different languages and countries around the world. The day is also called "Lesser Eid", or simply Eid. Eid al-Fitr has a particular salat that consists of two rakats generally performed in an open field or large hall. It may only be performed in congregation and features seven additional Takbirs in the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam: three at the start of the first rakat and three just before rukūʿ in the second rakat.
