Eid ul Fitr is a time of joy, gratitude, and unity as Muslims worldwide come together to celebrate the end of Ramadan, a month dedicated to fasting, reflection and spiritual growth. This special day, also known as Eid al Fitr, is marked by feasts, prayers and the giving of Zakat al-Fitr, a charitable donation to support those in need. The Celebration of Eid Ul Fitr is a day to bring hope and happiness to many who may otherwise feel alone during this festive season. For families and communities, it’s a joyous reunion, but for orphans and vulnerable children, the spirit of Eid takes on a different significance.

Officially, Eid ul Fitr does not begin until the visual sighting of the moon, however, more communities are agreeing on starting celebrations when the moon is due to be sighted, rather than relying on clear skies. Based on the Islamic Calander, Eid ul Fitr 2026 is expected to fall on 19th March 2026.
