What is Eid al- fitr

Eid literally means a “festival” or “feast” in Arabic. There are two major eids in the Islamic calendar per year – Eid al-Fitr earlier in the year and Eid al-Adha later. Why is Eid celebrated? Eid al-Fitr is one of two major holidays celebrated by Muslims and commemorates the end of the holy month of Ramadan, in which Muslims fast daily from before dawn until sunset. It is commemorated by a large, community-wide prayer service in the morning, followed by meals and conversation with friends and family.@Kate 2601:406:4402:5840:B0E4:246E:C58:2D5 (talk) 20:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a specific part of the article you wish to correct? Amyipdev (talk) 15:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why so many images were deleted and future eid table was severely cut back?

Particularly the table, I found the extended list useful since the holiday moves back in the Gregorian calendar. Dervish10 (talk) 02:14, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, because they are of no use, Future dates that go to 2040 are, too, of no use, and they increase the size of the article making it take longer to load Abo Yemen ✉ 05:36, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Egypt section

I can't tell when the edits were made to this section, but something is off. I'd like to double-check that it isn't something which can be reverted before trying to edit it to be more readable. Sock-the-guy (talk) 20:58, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sock-the-guy I went through the hist of the article and found this edit 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 08:03, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be the culprit. Thanks! Sock-the-guy (talk) 15:55, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eid al-Fitr is also a public holiday in India

The page has an incorrect image that does not show India includes in the countries where Eid is a public holiday. Even the page says that Eid is a public holiday in India but the image "Countries where Eid al-Fitr is an Official Public Holiday.jpeg" is cinrrectly depcited.

Please correct. 14.143.67.50 (talk) 06:37, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
