The festival that marks the end of Ramadan in Islamic culture is Eid al-Fitr. This celebration occurs on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal, following the conclusion of the month-long fast. It is a time of joyous festivities that include communal prayers, giving to charity (often through zakat), and festive meals with family and friends. The rituals emphasize gratitude for the strength shown during Ramadan and the importance of community and compassion. Eid al-Fitr highlights the values of generosity and togetherness.
