Eid al-Fitr (The Festival of Breaking the Fast) is the joyous holiday celebrated on the 1st of Shawwal, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. It is a day of thanksgiving to Allah for the strength given to complete the fast. The day begins with a special communal prayer (Salat al-Eid) and the giving of "Zakat al-Fitr" to ensure the poor can join the celebration. It is a time for visiting family, wearing one’s best clothes, and sharing meals. Eid al-Fitr represents a spiritual fresh start and a celebration of the self-discipline and God-consciousness (Taqwa) cultivated during the month of fasting.
