What is Eid al- fitr

Eid literally means a “festival” or “feast” in Arabic. There are two major eids in the Islamic calendar per year – Eid al-Fitr earlier in the year and Eid al-Adha later. Why is Eid celebrated? Eid al-Fitr is one of two major holidays celebrated byan, in which Muslims fast daily from before dawn until sunset. It is commemorated by a large, community-wide prayer service in the morning, followed by meals and conversation with friends and family.@Kate 2601:406:4402:5840:B0E4:246E:C58:2D5 (talk) 20:10, 15 June 2024 (UTC)stop fucking doing this ʾ[reply]

Picture

Is this picture represent the Muslim culture? Is this just mistake or intention? 120.17.82.239 (talk) 20:14, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The three infobox pictures represent various parts of Eid festivities. Amyipdev (talk) 15:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Observed by...

Surely this field in the info box is for countries with state recognition of Eid, else it could technically be every single country as I doubt any are without a single Muslim. While it is true that millions of people in France celebrate Eid, the French state most certainly does not. Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to differ with regards to France, as their government has (in various forms) acknowledged that Eid exists (see page 33 of https://at.media.france.fr/sites/default/files/document/press_kit/Mayotte%20-%20Presskit%20Cruises%20-%202015%20%28EN%29.pdf, for instance).

Is there a specific part of the article you wish to correct? Amyipdev (talk) 15:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why so many images were deleted and future eid table was severely cut back?

Particularly the table, I found the extended list useful since the holiday moves back in the Gregorian calendar. Dervish10 (talk) 02:14, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, because they are of no use, Future dates that go to 2040 are, too, of no use, and they increase the size of the article making it take longer to load Abo Yemen ✉ 05:36, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
