The Islamic holiday marking the end of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, is coming up. It is one of the most important holidays for Muslims worldwide.
During Ramadan, Muslims focus on increased worship, charity, and self-reflection. Eid celebrates the end of this spiritual journey, with Muslims coming together to pray, share meals, and visit loved ones.
Across the globe, Muslim families and friends visit each other’s homes, exchange gifts, and enjoy festive meals. Traditional foods, sweets, and new clothes are part of the celebration.
A key part of the holiday is charity, with Muslims giving “Zakat al-Fitr,” a form of charity to help those in need. It is typically given in the form of food, such as rice, dates, or other staple items, and its purpose is to assist those who may not have enough to celebrate Eid.
Though the essence of Eid is the same everywhere, each country has unique customs. For example, Iraqi families keep the Eid al-Fitr tradition alive by baking Kleicha, a traditional pastry, at home. They believe making Kleicha together strengthens family bonds. While In Pakistan, one of the most cherished Eid traditions is the exchange of Eidi—gifts given to children and younger family members as tokens of love and blessings.
No matter where they are, Eid brings Muslims together in a spirit of unity, gratitude, and joy.
