• Eid-al-Fitr (1 Shuwwal)

    From Ross Clark@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 31 23:06:46 2025
    We end the month, as Muslims end Ramadan, (and begin the month of
    Shawwal), with Eid-al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر, romanized: ʿĪd al-Fiṭr,
    lit. 'Festival of Breaking the Fast').

    Some countries just celebrate it on 31 March; others start from 29 or 30
    March and run to 1 April. It's a big festival.

    Sometimes called just Eid for short, it has different names in some
    countries:

    Small Sallah (Nigeria)
    Eid es-Seghir (Morocco)
    Korité (Senegal)
    Idid Ramazon (Tajikistan)
    Ramazon Hayit (or) Ro'za hayiti (Uzbekistan)
    Orozo Ait (Kyrgyzstan), Oraza Ait (Kazakhstan)
    Hari Raya [holiday] Idul Fitri (or) Lebaran (Indonesia)
    Hari Raya Puasa [fasting holiday] (Malaysia and Singapore)
    Hariraya Buka Puasa (Philippines)
    Ramazan Bayramı [Ramadan holiay] (or) Şeker Bayramı [sugar holiday]
    (Turkey) and cognate terms in the Balkans
