As Ramadan draws to a close, many Muslims across the world and the UK, are geared to celebrate the ultimate festivity to reflect on the month of fasting and repentance.
Eid ul Fitr, known as the ‘festival of breaking fast’ marks the start of the following month of Shawwal on the Islamic calendar, with loved ones gathering together to rejoice the end of fasting through food, laughter, prayer and togetherness. While there have been indications that Eid this year will fall on Monday, May 2, it has not yet been wholly confirmed by an official moon sighting.
Nonetheless, as the holiday approaches, it is no doubt that many are excitedly making preparations in advance to gear up for what is yet to come.
