Eid-al-Fitr has begun for millions of Muslims around the world.
Eid is the festival held by Muslims to celebrate the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, where Muslims fast between dawn and sunset every day.
Eid al-Fitr, which means ‘the feast of breaking of the fast’, falls on the first day of the month of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar. Once Eid prayers are finished, Muslims will traditionally visit their relatives and friends to wish them a happy Eid and often exchange gifts or sweets. The date Eid al-Fitr falls on is decided by the cycle of the Moon.
From all of us here at S4B, may we wish all of our Muslim customers, colleagues and partners Eid Mubarak.
