Muslims worldwide gather together to observe the significant religious holiday of Eid ul Fitr, also referred to as Eid al-Fitr or simply Eid. It is the end of the holy month of Ramadan, which Muslims observe by abstaining from food and drink from dawn until sunset each day. Traditionally, the Eid ul Fitr festival takes place on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. During this time, Muslims gather with their families and friends to pray, give each other gifts, and eat together.
