What is Eid ul Fitr?
Eid-ul-Fitr, or the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is an important Islamic festival that concludes Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. It occurs on the first day of Shawwal and is calculated based on the new moon sighting. Eid is initiated with a special congregational prayer (Salah al-Eid), which is followed by giving charity (Zakat-ul-Fitr) to the needy. Families commemorate by dressing in new attire, cooking celebratory food, giving gifts, and dwelling with family members. The festival fosters appreciation, beneficence, and togetherness, nudging Muslims to keep being kind even after Ramadan.

Hadith about eid ul fitr
There are many Hadiths that place special importance on Eid-ul-Fitr in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) insisted on the significance of prayer, charity, and celebration on this sacred day.
One well-known Hadith is:
- “The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: ‘Indeed, Allah has substituted for you something better than them: the day of Al-Fitr and the day of Al-Adha.'”
(Sunan Abi Dawood 1134)
- This Hadith means that Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha are divinely blessed celebrations for Muslims, supplementing pre-Islamic events with a day of worship, gratitude, and harmony. Zakat-ul-Fitr, the charity donated before the Eid prayer, is highlighted in a second Hadith:
- “The fast remains suspended between Heaven and Earth until the Sadaqat al-Fitr is paid.”
(Hadith: Ibn Abbas, Sunan Ibn Majah 1827)
- This instructs one to provide charity prior to Eid to cleanse the fast and enable the poor to also enjoy it.
