EID MUBARAK! Muslims mark end of Ramadan with Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations

New Delhi: Eid Al-Fitr is the celebration that marks the end of the month of Ramadan, a month of fasting from dawn until sunset by Muslims all over the world. There are however, regional differences in the exact timing of Eid due to different interpretations of the calendar and variations in religious opinion. Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated across India on Tuesday. The announcement came following a meeting of Qadeem Royat Hilal committee headed by Maulana Mufti Mohammed Mukkaram, Shahi Imam of Fatehpuri Masjid on Monday. "The Eid moon has been sighted today. The Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated across the country tomorrow," Mukkaram said. On this day, Muslims in countries around the world start the day with prayer and spend time with family, offer gifts and often give to charity. Ramzan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is observed as a fasting period by Muslims who abstain from food and water from sunrise to sunset and it culminates in Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.
