Eid-ul-Fitr 2024 marks the end of Ramadan, celebrated with clean-ups, prayers, and treats, with the date in India determined by the Shawwal half-moon’s visibility in Saudi Arabia.
Eid-ul-Fitr 2024:
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is regarded as a sacred month among Muslims who fast and worship Allah. Eid preparations begin worldwide, including in India, with the sighting of the Shawwal half-moon. The celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr follows, which is determined by the sighting of the Shawwal half moon. Eid al-Fitr (Eid ul Fitr 2024) celebrates the conclusion of Ramadan.
As the 28th fast finishes, preparations for Eid begin, with the feast taking place on the 30th if the moon is visible on the 29th. This includes cleaning and beautifying mosques, Idgahs, and houses, as well as restoring abandoned markets and shops.
When is Eid-ul-Fitr?
The date of Eid in India is determined by when the moon is visible in Saudi Arabia. India celebrates Eid the day after Saudi Arabia. Although the moon was not visible in Saudi Arabia on April 8, the decision has been made to celebrate Eid on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. As a result, the Eid celebration will be held in India one day later, on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
How is Eid celebrated?
On Eid morning, members of the Muslim community clean up, put on fresh clothes, and head to the mosque to pray. Following this, they hug and congratulate each other on Eid. During this time, they also sweeten each other’s mouths with diverse treats such as sweets and vermicelli.
Eid is considered a sign of brotherhood. On this day, Muslims thank Allah through namaz. On this important occasion, Edi is also presented to the house’s eldest and younger children. On this day, homeless people are also fed and given clothing and other necessities.
Eid will be celebrated on this day in Saudi Arabia
The Shawwal crescent moon was not visible in Saudi Arabia on Monday, April 8, hence Eid al Fitr will be observed on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. The crescent moon for Eid al Fitr will be visible on Tuesday, according to confirmation from Morocco’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs. Kerala is the only Indian state that determines Eid-ul-Fitr depending on the moon’s sighting in Saudi Arabia. Ramzan is coming to an end, and preparations for Eid are picking up.
