What is End of Ramadan?
The End of Ramadan marks the close of the Islamic month of fasting. It is followed by Eid al-Fitr, the festival on the first day of Shawwal, when many Muslims attend Eid prayers, give zakat al-fitr, visit family, and share meals.
How People Observe It
Many Muslims prepare for Eid prayers, give zakat al-fitr before the prayer, gather with relatives, exchange greetings, and share food after the month of fasting ends.
Calendar note
The listed dates use common published calendar estimates for Eid al-Fitr, which begins after Ramadan ends.
Regional note
Some places may observe Eid al-Fitr one day earlier or later depending on official announcements.
History and Background
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and Eid al-Fitr has long marked the beginning of Shawwal. The date moves through the Gregorian calendar because the Islamic calendar follows lunar months.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does Ramadan end?
Ramadan ends at sunset on the final day of the lunar month. Eid al-Fitr begins with the start of Shawwal, but the exact date may depend on local moon sighting.
Is the End of Ramadan the same as Eid al-Fitr?
They are closely linked. The End of Ramadan is the close of the fasting month, while Eid al-Fitr is the celebration that begins on the first day of Shawwal.
Why does the date change every year?
The Islamic calendar is lunar, so Ramadan and Eid usually move about 10 or 11 days earlier each year on the Gregorian calendar.
Can the date be different in different countries?
Yes. Local moon sighting, national announcements, and religious calendar methods can lead to different dates.
What should be checked before making plans?
Check the announcement from your local mosque, Islamic council, or official religious authority before finalizing prayer, travel, or family plans.
