"Eid-ul-Fitr 2024: Moon Sighting and Celebrations Around the World"

The sighting of the crescent moon to mark the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid al-Fitr was obscured in some parts of the world by the solar eclipse, leading to delays in the declaration of Eid in some Islamic communities. The phenomenon reduced lunar visibility, causing Muslim communities in different regions to celebrate Eid on different days. The traditional Hijri calendar, which marks religious events for Muslims, relies on the sighting of the early crescent moon, and the holy month of Ramadan begins at the start of the ninth month.

Eid al-Adha 2023: Celebrations and Messages

Eid al-Adha, the holier of the two Eid festivals observed by Muslims, is set to begin on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, following the Day of Arafat on Tuesday. The festival lasts for four days and commemorates the story of the prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son. Traditionally, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts, with one part given to the poor, one to the immediate family, and one reserved for relatives. The phrase "Eid Mubarak" is used to greet fellow Muslims during both Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr, translating to "blessed celebration" or "happy Eid."
