Eid Mubarak! As Ramadan comes to an end, Muslims in Canada and around the world celebrate Eid al-Fitr. Observant Muslims spent the holy month of Ramadan fasting during daylight hours, and with the arrival of Eid, feasting can begin. Eid al-Fitr, also known as the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast, Id-al-Fitr, or Sweet Eid, is a Muslim festival that is practiced in different ways around the world. Eid may be one day or it can last for three days. The official start of Eid may vary in different places around the world, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon to end the month. Ramadan may end on the evening of April 9 or 10 in 2024, according to the Gregrorian Calendar.

The month of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and prayer, comes to and end this week. Muslims will celebrate Eid al-Fitr, literally the “holiday of the breaking of the fast.”
As is the case with many religious and cultural holidays that are based on lunar calendars, the date of Eid varies from year to year, as the Islamic calendar is not in sync with the Gregorian calendar. Also, according to Islam the new month doesn’t officially begin until religious authorities confirm the sighting of the moon. As such, we can only predict the start of Eid. In 2023 it is predicted that Eid al-Fitr will begin on April 21.
We wish “Eid Mubarak” to the more than one million Muslims in Canada, and to the almost two billion Muslims around the world.
