Eid-ul-Fitr, also known as the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", is a time of spiritual reflection, generosity and communal harmony. The day begins with the special Eid prayer, where families and friends come together to offer gratitude for the blessings of Ramadan. Charity or Zakat al-Fitr plays a crucial role in the celebrations, ensuring that those in need can also partake in the festivities.
