Eid 2018 or Eid-al-Fitr (Eid-ul-Fitr) is being celebrated on June 15 this year around the world. It is an important festival which is celebrated by the people of Muslim communities in the world. It marks the end of the pious month of Ramadan, which is the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is the only day in the entire month of Shawwal on which Muslims are not permitted to fast.

Significance of Eid-al-Fitr 2018
Eid-al-Fitr was originated by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is observed on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal and at the end of Ramadan. In Ramadan, Muslims observe a month long fasting. According to the legends, the festival was initiated in Medina after the migration of Muhammad from Mecca. Anas reports: When the Prophet arrived in Madinah, he found people celebrating two specific days in which they used to entertain themselves with recreation and merriment. He asked them about the nature of these festivities at which they replied that these days were occasions of fun and recreation. At this, the Prophet remarked that the Almighty has fixed two days [of festivity] instead of these for you which are better than these: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha
Eid-al-Fitr 2018: How is it celebrated?
Traditionally, Eid celebrations begin at the first sighting of the crescent moon shortly after sunset. If the moon is not seen immediately after the 29th day of the previous lunar month, then Eid is celebrated on the following day. Eid-al-Fitr is celebrated for one, two or three days. It is forbidden to fast on the day of Eid. A special prayer is said on the day. As an act of charity, money is distributed among the poor and needy before offering the Eid prayer. Muslims recite the following incantations in a low voice while offering prayer: Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar. Lā ilāha illà l-Lāh wal-Lāhu akbar, Allahu akbar walil-Lāhi l-ḥamd.
The Eid prayer is offered in a gathering in open areas like fields, community centres or at mosques. Eid gifts are known as Eidi and is frequently given at Eid to the children and immediate relatives.
