Islamic festivals
Islamic festivals are special days marking important religious events and themes. Eid al-Fitr, celebrated at the end of Ramadan, marks the conclusion of fasting with communal prayers, feasting, and charity. Eid al-Adha coincides with the Hajj pilgrimage and honors Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son, involving prayer, sacrifice of animals, and community giving. These festivals foster community, spirituality, and reflection, emphasizing gratitude, charity, and devotion. They follow the Islamic lunar calendar, so dates shift yearly. The festivals serve as moments for Muslims worldwide to strengthen faith, share joy, and reinforce moral and social values.
