== History ==
According to Muslim tradition Eid al-Fitr was originated by the Islamic prophet [[Biography:Muhammad|Muhammad]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Eid al-Fitr {{!}} Definition, Meaning, Celebration, & Facts {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Eid-al-Fitr |access-date=2022-05-01 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en |archive-date=1 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220501124730/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Eid-al-Fitr |url-status=live }}</ref> According to certain traditions, these festivals were initiated in [[Place:Medina|Medina]] after the migration of Muhammad from Mecca. Anas, a well-known companion of the Islamic prophet, narrated that, when Muhammad arrived in [[Place:Medina|Medina]], he found people celebrating two specific days in which they entertained themselves with recreation and merriment. At this, Muhammad remarked that [[Religion:God in Islam|God]] had fixed two days of festivity: Eid al-Fitr and [[Religion:Eid al-Adha|Eid al-Adha]].<ref>Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Musnad, vol. 4, 141–142, (no. 13210).</ref>

== General rituals ==
Traditionally, Eid al-Fitr begins at sunset on the night of the first sighting of the crescent moon. The night on which the moon is sighted is celebrated as ''Chand Raat''. If the moon is not observed immediately after the 29th day of the previous lunar month (either because clouds block its view or because the western sky is still too bright when the moon sets), then the holiday is celebrated the following day.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Adewunmi |first1=Bim |title=When is Eid 2014?

=== Eid prayer and {{transl|ar|eidgah}} ===
{{Further|Religion:Eid prayers|Religion:Eidgah}}
The Eid prayer is performed by the congregation in an open area such as a field, community center, or mosque.<ref name="aljazeera/June"/> No [[Religion:Adhan|call to prayer]] is given for this Eid prayer, and it consists of only two units of prayer, with a variable amount of {{transl|ar|[[Religion:Takbir|Takbir]]s}} and other prayer elements depending on the branch of Islam observed. The Eid prayer is followed by the [[Religion:Khutbah|sermon]] and then a [[Religion:Dua|supplication]] asking for God's forgiveness, mercy, peace and blessings for all living beings across the world. The sermon also instructs Muslims as to the performance of rituals of Eid, such as the {{transl|ar|zakat}}.<ref>Gaffney, Patrick D. "Khutba." ''Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim World''. p. 394.</ref> The sermon of Eid takes place after the Eid prayer, unlike [[Religion:Friday prayer|Friday prayer]] which comes first before prayer. Some imams believe that listening to the sermon at Eid is optional.<ref>{{cite web |title=Eid Gebete |url=https://diegebetszeiten.de/eid-gebete/ |website=Diegebetszeiten.de |language=de-DE |date=7 January 2020 |access-date=25 April 2020 |archive-date=23 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200623121927/https://diegebetszeiten.de/eid-gebete/ |url-status=live }}</ref> After the prayers, Muslims visit their relatives, friends, and acquaintances or hold large communal celebrations in homes, community centers, or rented halls.<ref name="aljazeera/June"/>

[[File:Azeri carpet (Sirvan group).jpg|thumb|Many [[Religion:Muslim|Muslim]]s often bring prayer rugs to the Mosque on Eid al-Fitr.]]

==== Sunni procedure ====
As ritual dictates, Sunnis praise God in a loud voice while going to the Eid prayer:

<blockquote>{{transl|ar|Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar. Lā ilāha illà l-Lāh wa-l-Lāhu akbar, Allahu akbar wa-li-l-Lāhi l-ḥamd}}</blockquote><!-- The following needs checking for accuracy - as every time I attempt to put it in a language tag the characters change - before being added back to the text with {{lang|ar| at the front and }} at the back:

(الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، الله أكبر الله أكبر، و لله الحمد.''

''الله أكبر كبيراً، و الحمد لله كثيراً، و سبحان الله بكرةً و أصيلاً.''

''لا إله إلا الله وحدهُ، صدق وعدهُ و نصر عبدهُ و أعز جندهُ و هزم الأحزاب وحدهُ.''

''لا إله إلا الله و لا نعبدُ إلا إياهُ، مُخلصين له الدين و لو كره الكافرون.''

''اللهم صلِ على سيدنا محمدٍ، و على آل سيدنا محمدٍ، و على أصحاب سيدنا محمدٍ، و على أنصار سيدنا محمدٍ، و على أزواج سيدنا محمدٍ، و على ذرية سيدنا محمدٍ، و سلم تسليماً كثيراً.)''.-->
Recitation ceases when they get to the place of Eid or once the Imam commences activities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.albalagh.net/general/shawwal.shtml|title=Shawwal: On Eid Night, Eid Day, and During the Month|author=Mufti Taqi Usmani|website=Albalagh.net|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130816064614/http://albalagh.net/general/shawwal.shtml|archive-date=16 August 2013|access-date=11 August 2013}}</ref>

The prayer starts by doing {{transl|ar|"[[Religion:Niyyah|Niyyah]]"}} for the prayer, before the {{transl|ar|Takbir}} is said by the [[Religion:Imam|Imam]] and his followers. Next, the {{transl|ar|[[Religion:Takbir|Takbirat al-Ihram]]}} is performed, by saying {{transl|ar|Allahu Akbar}} three times, raising hands to the ears and dropping them each time, except for the last when the hands are folded. The Imam then reads the {{transl|ar|Al-Fatihah}}, followed by another {{transl|ar|Surah}}. The congregation performs {{transl|ar|[[Religion:Ruku|ruku]]}} and {{transl|ar|[[Religion:Sujud|sujud]]}} as in other prayers. This completes the first {{transl|ar|rak'ah}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How to Perform Eid Prayers? |url=https://www.darul-arqam.org.sg/how-to-perform-eid-prayers/ |access-date=2023-12-14 |language=en-US |archive-date=1 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221201110816/https://www.darul-arqam.org.sg/how-to-perform-eid-prayers/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The congregation rises up and folds their hands for the second {{transl|ar|rak'ah}}, after which the Imam recites {{transl|ar|Surah Fatiha}} followed by another {{transl|ar|Surah}}. After this, three {{transl|ar|Takbirs}} are called out just before the {{transl|ar|ruku}}, each time raising hands to the ears and dropping them. For the fourth time, the congregation says Allahu Akbar and subsequently goes into the {{transl|ar|ruku}}. The rest of the prayer is completed in the regular manner. This completes the Eid prayer. After the prayer, there is a {{transl|ar|[[Religion:Khutbah|khutbah]]}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=نحوه خواندن نماز عید فطر در اهل سنت |url=https://www.mizanonline.com/fa/news/321584/%D9%86%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%87-%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%86-%D9%86%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%B9%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D9%81%D8%B7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%84-%D8%B3%D9%86%D8%AA |website=mizanonline |access-date=12 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180925091651/http://www.mizanonline.com/fa/news/321584/%D9%86%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%87-%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%86-%D9%86%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%B9%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D9%81%D8%B7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%84-%D8%B3%D9%86%D8%AA |archive-date=25 September 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==== Shia procedure ====
The prayer starts with the {{transl|ar|Niyyat}} followed by five {{transl|ar|Takbirs}}. During every {{transl|ar|Takbir}} of the first {{transl|ar|rakat}}, a special {{transl|ar|Dua}} is recited. Then, the Imam recites {{transl|ar|Sūrat al-Fātiḥah}} and {{transl|ar|Surat Al-'A`lá}} and the congregation performs {{transl|ar|Ruku}} and {{transl|ar|Sujud}} as in other prayers. In the second {{transl|ar|Rakat}}, the same above steps (five {{transl|ar|Takbeers, Sūrat al-Fātiḥah}} and {{transl|ar|Surat Al-'A`lá, Ruku}} and {{transl|ar|Sujud}}) are repeated.

During the Eid celebration, Muslims greet each other by saying {{transl|ar|'Eid Mubarak'}}, which is Arabic for "Blessed Eid". As it comes after a month of fasting, sweet dishes and foods are often prepared and consumed during the celebration. Muslims typically decorate their homes, and are also encouraged to forgive each other and seek forgiveness. In countries with large Muslim populations, it is normally a public holiday with most schools and businesses closed for the day. Practices differ by country and region.<ref name="auto4">{{cite web|url=http://theconversation.com/what-is-eid-al-fitr-and-how-do-muslims-celebrate-it-6-questions-answered-118146|title=What is Eid al-Fitr and how do Muslims celebrate it? 6 questions answered|first=Ken|last=Chitwood|website=The Conversation|date=3 June 2019 |access-date=12 May 2021|archive-date=13 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210513082929/https://theconversation.com/what-is-eid-al-fitr-and-how-do-muslims-celebrate-it-6-questions-answered-118146|url-status=live}}</ref>

==== Arab States of the Persian Gulf ====

In the predominantly Sunni Muslim culture of Afghanistan, Eid al-Fitr holds significant importance and is celebrated widely for three days. It popularly involves special festivities for children and the youngest members of families.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://theculturetrip.com/europe/united-kingdom/articles/the-10-most-delicious-eid-al-fitr-foods-and-dishes-from-around-the-world/|title=The 10 Most Delicious Eid al-Fitr Foods and Dishes From Around the World|first=Lauren|last=Cocking|website=Culture Trip|date=27 April 2017|access-date=9 May 2021|archive-date=9 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210509215203/https://theculturetrip.com/europe/united-kingdom/articles/the-10-most-delicious-eid-al-fitr-foods-and-dishes-from-around-the-world/|url-status=live}}</ref> The most common greeting is ''Kochnai Akhtar'' (Blessed Eid) in the [[Social:Pashto|Pashto]]-speaking community. Afghans start preparing for the Eid al-Fitr festival up to ten days prior by cleaning their homes (called ''Khana Takani'' in Dari). Afghans visit their local bazaars to buy new clothes, sweets, and snacks including ''Jalebi'', ''Shor-Nakhod'' (made with chickpeas), ''Cake wa Kolcha'' (a simple cake, similar to pound cake). The traditional ''Bolani'' (vegetarian flatbreads) is a popular meal during Eid al-Fitr in Afghanistan.<ref name="auto"/>

On the day of Eid al-Fitr, Afghans will first offer their Eid prayers and then gather in their homes with their families, greeting one another by saying "''Eid Mubarak''" and usually adding "''Eidet Mobarak Roza wa Namazet Qabool Dakhel Hajiha wa Ghaziha,''" which means "Happy Eid to you; may your fasting and prayers be accepted by God, and may you be counted among those who will go to the Hajj-pilgrimage." Family elders will give money and gifts to children. It is also common practice to visit families and friends, which may be difficult to do at other times of the year. Children walk from home to home saying "''Khala Eidet Mubarak''" ("aunt happy Eid"), and they receive cookies or ''Pala''. Young girls and women apply henna "tattoo"s on their hands and feet. The older women while applying it too, don't do very complicated designs. The boys and young men in some communities might apply it as well but, with very simple designs like a circle in their palms or just coloring the fingertips. The older men  might do those simple designs as well, but it is not that common. Henna is a "woman's" thing in Afghanistan when it comes to doing designs on their hands and feet. At night, multiple campfires are set around houses, sometimes to the point that entire valleys may initially appear to be engulfed in flame. Celebratory fire with automatic rifles, particularly tracer rounds, can also be expected in high density.<ref>{{cite web |title=نگاهی به آداب و رسوم بزرگداشت عید سعید فطر در افغانستان |url=https://www.avapress.com/fa/report/96074/%D9%86%DA%AF%D8%A7%D9%87%DB%8C-%D8%A2%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%A8-%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%88%D9%85-%D8%A8%D8%B2%D8%B1%DA%AF%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%AA-%D8%B9%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D8%B3%D8%B9%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D9%81%D8%B7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%BA%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86 |website=avapress |date=27 July 2014 |access-date=10 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191210163532/https://www.avapress.com/fa/report/96074/%25D9%2586%25DA%25AF%25D8%25A7%25D9%2587%25DB%258C-%25D8%25A2%25D8%25AF%25D8%25A7%25D8%25A8-%25D8%25B1%25D8%25B3%25D9%2588%25D9%2585-%25D8%25A8%25D8%25B2%25D8%25B1%25DA%25AF%25D8%25AF%25D8%25A7%25D8%25B4%25D8%25AA-%25D8%25B9%25DB%258C%25D8%25AF-%25D8%25B3%25D8%25B9%25DB%258C%25D8%25AF-%25D9%2581%25D8%25B7%25D8%25B1-%25D8%25A7%25D9%2581%25D8%25BA%25D8%25A7%25D9%2586%25D8%25B3%25D8%25AA%25D8%25A7%25D9%2586 |archive-date=10 December 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

''Hari Raya'' means 'Great Day'.<ref>{{cite news|title=Moslems Hail a 'Great Day'|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-oklahoma-city-times-moslems-hail-a/123189838/|newspaper=Oklahoma City Times|date=January 1, 1968|page=12|via=Newspapers.com|access-date=20 April 2023|archive-date=20 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230420022949/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-oklahoma-city-times-moslems-hail-a/123189838/|url-status=live}}</ref>

It is customary for workers in the city to return to their home town to celebrate with their families and to ask forgiveness from parents, in-laws, and other elders. Forgiveness is often requested without citing any specific error to avoid arguments. This is known in Malaysia as ''balik kampung'' (homecoming).<ref>{{cite book|title=Understanding Global Cultures: Metaphorical Journeys Through 29 Nations, Clusters of Nations, Continents, and Diversity|page=305|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nsgxovCscI0C|last1=Gannon|first1=Martin J.|last2=Rajnandini|first2=Pillai|year=2010|publisher=SAGE|isbn=9781412957892|access-date=1 May 2023|archive-date=5 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231005202423/https://books.google.com/books?id=nsgxovCscI0C|url-status=live}}</ref>

The night before Hari Raya is filled with the sounds of takbir in the mosques or musallahs. In many parts of Malaysia, especially in the rural areas, ''pelita'' or ''panjut'' or ''lampu colok'' (as known by Malay-Singaporeans) (oil lamps, similar to tiki torches) are lit up and placed outside and around homes, while tiki torches themselves are also a popular decoration for that holiday. Special dishes like ketupat, rendang, lemang (a type of glutinous rice cooked in bamboo) and Malay delicacies such as various ''kuih-muih'' are served during this day. It is common to greet people with "Salam Aidilfitri" or "Selamat Hari Raya" which means "Happy Eid". Muslims also greet one another with "maaf zahir dan batin", which means "Forgive my physical and emotional (wrongdoings)".<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/maaf-zahir-dan-batin-359867 |access-date=2023-12-14 |website=www.astroawani.com}}</ref>

It is customary for Muslim-Malaysians to wear a traditional cultural clothing on Hari Raya. The Malay variant (worn in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Southern Thailand) is known as the Baju Melayu, shirt worn with a ''sarong'' known as ''kain samping'' or songket and a headwear known as ''songkok''. Malaysian women's clothing is referred to as Baju Kurung and baju kebaya. It is a common practice however for the Malays in Singapore and Johor, Malaysia to refer to the ''baju kurung'' in reference to the type of outfit, worn by both men and women.<ref>{{Cite web |last=TheMewsBeauty |date=2023-04-03 |title=Baju Raya and Baju Kurung: A Journey Through Time, Style, and Tradition |url=https://www.themewsbeauty.co.uk/baju-raya-and-baju-kurung.html |access-date=2023-12-14 |website=The Mews Beauty |language=en-US}}</ref>

In Malaysia, especially in the major cities, people take turns to set aside a time for ''open house'' when they stay at home to receive and entertain neighbours, family and other visitors. It is common to see non-Muslims made welcome during Eid at these ''open houses''. They also celebrate by lighting traditional [[Engineering:Bamboo cannon|bamboo cannon]] firecrackers known as ''meriam buluh'', using [[Chemistry:Kerosene|kerosene]] in large hollow [[Biology:Bamboo|bamboo]] tubes or Chinese imported crackers. The traditional bamboo cannon, ''meriam buloh'', and fireworks are notoriously loud and can be very dangerous to operator, bystander and even nearby buildings. These are usually bamboo tubes {{convert|5|–|10|cm|abbr=on}} in diameter and {{convert|4|–|7|m|abbr=on}} long, filled with either: water and several hundred grams of [[Chemistry:Calcium carbide|calcium carbide]], or heated kerosene, then ignited by match.<ref>{{Citation |title=Meriam buluh |date=2023-04-11 |url=https://ms.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meriam_buluh&oldid=5816916 |work=Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, ensiklopedia bebas |access-date=2023-12-14 |language=ms}}</ref>

The sighting of the ''hilal'' is traditionally marked by the beating of drums in some regions. In modern times, this has evolved into a noise barrage known as "Mobile Takbir", where celebrants, especially youths, rev their motorcycles or honk their horns while driving through the streets. Guns are also sometimes fired. These practices have been discouraged by the [[Religion:Grand Mufti|Grand Mufti]] of Bangsamoro and local government officials as not being in accordance with Islamic teachings as well as being dangerous and causing accidents in the past.<ref name="Cabrera">{{cite news |last1=Cabrera |first1=Ferdinandh B. |title=Marawi marks Eid'l Fitr day ahead of date set by Darul Ifta |url=https://www.mindanews.com/top-stories/2019/06/marawi-marks-eidl-fitr-day-ahead-of-date-set-by-darul-ifta/ |access-date=15 January 2020 |work=MindaNews |date=4 June 2019 |archive-date=30 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200730235514/https://www.mindanews.com/top-stories/2019/06/marawi-marks-eidl-fitr-day-ahead-of-date-set-by-darul-ifta/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Rosalado">{{cite news |last1=Rosalado |first1=RJ |title=June 5, 2019 declared as Eid'l Fitr in PH |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/03/19/june-5-2019-declared-as-eidl-fitr-in-ph |access-date=15 January 2020 |work=ABS-CBN News |date=3 June 2019 |archive-date=15 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200115174055/https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/03/19/june-5-2019-declared-as-eidl-fitr-in-ph |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Jocson"/>

[[File:Hui family eid.jpg|thumb|An ethnic Hui family celebrating Eid al-Fitr in Ningxia]]
In mainland China, out of 56 officially recognized ethnic groups, Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by at least 10 ethnic groups that are predominantly Muslim. These groups are said to total 18&nbsp;million according to official statistics, but some observers say the actual number may be much higher. It is also a public holiday in China in certain regions, including two Province Prefecture Level regions, Ningxia and [[Place:Xinjiang|Xinjiang]]. All residents in these areas, regardless of religion, are entitled to either a one-day or three-day official holiday. Outside the Muslim-majority regions, only Muslims are entitled to a one-day holiday. In Xinjiang province, Eid al-Fitr is even celebrated by the Han Chinese population. During the holiday, supplies of mutton, lamb and beef are distributed to households as part of a welfare program funded by government agencies, public and private institutions, and businesses. In Yunnan, Muslim populations are spread throughout the region. On Eid al-Fitr, however, some devotees may travel to Sayyid 'Ajjal's grave after their communal prayers. There, they will conduct readings from the Quran and clean the tomb, reminiscent of the historic annual Chinese Qingming festival, in which people go to their ancestors' graves, sweep and clean the area, and make food offerings.Finally the accomplishments of the Sayyid 'Ajall will be related in story form, concluded by a special prayer service to honour the hundreds of thousands of Muslims killed during the Panthay Rebellion, and the hundreds killed during the Shadian incident.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Armijo |first1=Jacqueline M. |title="East Asian culture and Islam."

====Argentina====
In {{wipe|Argentina}}, Eid ({{lang-es|Fiesta del Fin del Ayuno}}) is officially a non-working holiday for Muslims.{{Cn|date=April 2023}}

== In the Gregorian calendar ==
Although the date of Eid al-Fitr is always the same in the Islamic calendar, the date in the Gregorian calendar falls approximately 11 days earlier each successive year, since the Islamic calendar is lunar and the Gregorian calendar is solar. Hence if the Eid falls in the first ten days of a Gregorian calendar year, there will be a second Eid in the last ten days of the same Gregorian calendar year, as happened in 2000 CE. The Gregorian date may vary between countries depending on the local visibility of the new moon. Some expatriate Muslim communities follow the dates as determined for their home country, while others follow the local dates of their country of residence.{{Cn|date=April 2023}}

Because the Hijri year differs by about 11 days from the AD year, Eid al Fitr can occur twice a year, in the year 1023, 1055, 1088, 1120, 1153, 1186, 1218, 1251, 1283, 1316, 1348, 1381, 1414, 1446, 1479, 1512, 1544, 1577, 1609, 1642, 1674, 1707, 1740, 1772, 1805, 1837, 1870, 1902, 1935, 1968, 2000, 2033, 2065, 2098, 2131, 2163, 2196, 2228, 2261 and 2293 (will continue to occur every 32 or 33 years).{{Cn|date=April 2023}}
