Celebrating Ramadan & Eid

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), communal prayer (salah), reflection, and community.

Eid al-Fitr, or the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," is a major three-day Islamic holiday marking the end of Ramadan’s dawn-to-dusk fasting. In 2026, it begins around March 20, celebrated with morning prayers, special meals, charity (Zakat al-Fitr), new clothes, and exchanging gifts or money (Eidi) with family and friends
