Thirty mornings of an empty plate, then this: the sweetest cup of all. May what you learned by going without stay with you now that you have plenty. Eid Mubarak! 🌙

Eid al-Fitr wishes with name, in one paragraph

A Eid al-Fitr wish with your name on it is an ordinary greeting card with one thing changed: it says who sent it. Type your name on this page and you get a card that opens with “Asha is wishing you Eid Mubarak” instead of a forward from nobody in particular. It is free, takes about ten seconds, and there is nothing to sign up for.

What Eid al-Fitr celebrated

Eid al-Fitr closes Ramadan, the month of fasting. The first thing done is to eat something in daylight, which after thirty days is stranger than it sounds; the second is to give, before the Eid prayer is performed.

When Eid al-Fitr falls

The first day of Shawwal, decided by the sighting of the new moon. It moves about eleven days earlier each year against the Gregorian calendar.

Most Indian festivals follow a lunar calendar, so the date moves against the Gregorian one each year. For the official dates, the Government of India holiday calendar is the one to check.

How Eid al-Fitr is celebrated

  • Zakat al-Fitr, given before the Eid prayer so that everyone can mark the day
  • The congregational Eid prayer in the morning
  • New clothes, embraces, and Eidi — money given to children
  • Sheer khurma, the vermicelli and date pudding kept for this morning

Kept by Muslims everywhere. In India, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Delhi and Kerala each have their own long-standing Eid table.

What people say
