Fasting: The meal that is consumed before sunrise is called suhur, and the meal consumed after sunset is called iftar. Traditionally, people break the fast with dates – this is done to commemorate Muhammad’s practice of breaking the fast with three dates.
Eid-ul-Fitr: The largest Islamic festival is celebrated to end the month-long fasting. It is done after the moon is sighted. Muslims celebrate this day with their near and dear ones. They prepare meals together, donate to charity and engage in community service. This is the only day in the month of Shawwal when Muslims do not need to keep fast.
