Eid-ul-Fitr is a day of Thanksgiving and a very joyous occasion for billions of Muslims around the globe. It marks the end of 30 days of Fasting during the month of Ramadan. Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the 1st of Shawwal (The 10th Month of the Islamic Calendar)
and Muslims eagerly look out for the birth of the new moon which heralds the arrival of Eid.

Anas R.A (a companion of The Holy Prophet S.A.W has reported that when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emigrated from Mecca to Madinah, the people of Madinah used to have two festival days. The Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him) asked the Ansaar (these are the Muslims of Madinah) about it. They said that before Islam they used to have carnivals on those two joyous days. The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W then informed them: 'Instead of those two days, Allah has appointed two other days which are better, the days of Eid-al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adha.'
