Eid ul-Fitr lasts for one day, and is expected to take place on Sunday 30 or Monday 31 March 2025, following the sighting of the moon. In the Islamic calendar, according to Islamic Relief, Eid ul-Fitr takes place on the first day of Shawwal. This is the day in which Eid prayers take place when, in contrast to the preceding month of Ramadan, it is forbidden to fast. Eid ul-Fitr is one of the two main, equally important, Eid celebrations of Muslims (the other being Eid ul-Adha, which begins following the annual Hajj pilgrimage). Commencing at the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting, Eid ul-Fitr is a festival that celebrates the breaking of the fast. It is celebrated by family and other social gatherings, with traditional sweet dishes, feasting, wearing new clothes, shopping and gift-giving. Globally, Muslims celebrate Eid ul-Fitr traditionally over the first three days of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar.
