Eid-el-Fitri is the festival that marks the end of a month-long Ramadan fast. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, avoiding food, drinks and other pleasurable desires.

Through fasting, Muslims take the time to get closer to Allah (SWT) by improving their ibadah (worship) and increasing dhikr (remembrance of God).
