Eid-al-Fitr 2024: History, Significance, and Heartfelt Wishes for Your Loved Ones

Eid-al-Fitr, also known as the Meethi Eid, is approaching, marking the end of Ramadan fasting, the most significant Muslim festival. Falling on the first date of the 10th Shawwal in the Islamic calendar, Eid holds immense spiritual and cultural significance in the Muslim community. This year, the joyous occasion is expected to commence on April 11 in most parts of India, although it varies depending on moon sightings, with Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh celebrating on April 10.

Eid-al-Fitr signifies the culmination of Ramadan, a month-long period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection for Muslims worldwide. It’s a time when individuals seek spiritual peace and devote themselves to worshipping Allah. Ramadan, which began on March 11, concludes on April 10/11, although these dates may fluctuate based on moon sightings.

The origins of Eid-al-Fitr can be traced back to 624 AD when Prophet Muhammad received the first vision of the Holy Quran during Ramadan and ordered its observance. It marks the end of fasting from dawn to dusk and signals the beginning of the Shawwal month. Additionally, Eid-al-Fitr commemorates the Prophet’s victory in the Battle of Badr.

Eid-al-Fitr, often referred to as the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims. On this day, people adorn themselves in new attire, prepare sumptuous delicacies, engage in acts of charity, and exchange heartfelt greetings with family and friends, including the traditional phrase, “Eid Mubarak.”
