India will be celebrating the festival of Eid-al-Fitr on May 3rd. Meethi Eid or Eid-al-Fitr is celebrated after the month of Ramadan- that is considered to be the holiest month in a year by Muslims. During Ramadan, Muslims observe fast from pre-dawn to dusk for an entire month. They also increase their prayers, charity and good deeds to please Allah. Eid falls on the first day of the month of Shawwal – that is the tenth month of the Hijri calendar. As Muslims follow a lunar calendar, the crescent moon is sighted to mark the change in month. Unlike India, countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Malaysia and others will be celebrating Eid-al-Fitr on May 2nd.
