Eid al-Fitr concludes Sawm, the ritual fasting period of Ramazan, the fourth great pillar of Islam. Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramazan, is a day of thanksgiving and jubilation, as it signifies the successful completion of the sacred month of Ramazan, the time of earnest labour spent in fasting, prayers and study of the Quran. It is the loftiest achievement of moral exercises, celebrated with an extraordinary zeal on Eid al-Fitr. With this spirit of thanksgiving, Eid al-Fitr is observed worldwide by offering prayers to God and rejoicing in accomplishing an act of dedication and submission to the Almighty. The Muslims obey the Lord in the congregation— displaying the real spirit of brotherhood, equality and fraternity through congregational prayers and feasts.
