Eid-ul-Fitr is a festival of breaking the fast and occurs when the new moon is sighted at the end of the fasting month called Ramadan. The festival marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting. It is followed by celebrations of feasting and rejoicing. The word 'Eid' means 'festivity' and 'Fitr' is taken from 'Fatar' which means 'breaking' and has another meaning i.e. 'alms'. On this day special food and delicacies are prepared and distributed among neighbours and friends.
Ramadan does not fall on any particular day. But takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic year. It is said, during the holy month, Allah gave Prophet Muhammad the Holy Quran. Allah's words were revealed to Prophet Muhammad through an angel over a time period of 23 years. The words were noted and written down to form the Holy Quran. The Ramadan is also celebrated to remember this special month.
