"Eid al-Fitr 2024: Global Celebrations and Moon Sighting"

Eid al-Fitr is a significant Islamic festival celebrated twice a year, marking the end of Ramadan and the Hajj pilgrimage. It involves special prayers, greetings, sweet dishes, gift-giving, and acts of forgiveness. Eid al-Adha, the "feast of the sacrifice," commemorates Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son. Both festivals vary in celebration practices across different countries and are based on the lunar Islamic calendar. Eid al-Fitr is also a time for charity and reflection on Allah's provision of strength and endurance.
