Eid al-Fitr is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). Eid is an
Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break fast"; and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the
fasting period. It is celebrated after the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal. Eid al-Fitr
is sometimes also known as the "Smaller Eid" as compared to the Eid al-Adha that lasts three days following the Hajj
(the pilgrimage to Mecca) and is casually referred to as the "Greater Eid"

At the end of Ramadan, every Muslim is required to pay Zakat al-Fitr (special fast breaking alms) as a token of
thankfulness to God for having enabled him or her to observe the obligatory fast. Typically, on the day of the al eid
Muslims generally greet each other have a small breakfast before attending a special Eid prayer that is performed in
congregation at mosques or open areas like fields, squares etc. They are encouraged to dress in their best clothes for
the occasion.
