Significance of Eid-Al-Fitr in Islam | MorningAtNTV

The holy month of Ramadan commemorates the time when the Quran, the Holy book, was first revealed to the Prophet Mohammed by the angel Gabriel. The night of revelation also called the “Night of Power” or Laylat Al-Qadar, is also believed to have occurred during Ramadan. Muslims all over the world are required to fast from dawn till dusk during Ramadan, a practice that is meant to instill patience and faith. The date the Islamic month falls on is slightly different each year since it sometimes depends on the sighting of the moon. It is also believed that the Holy Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad during Ramadan. This history can be traced back to 624 AD. Muslims believe the month-long fasting during Ramadan brings prosperity, harmony, and peace. They refrain from any negative thoughts during this period. To mark the end of the month is Eid al-Fitr, meaning "Festival of Breaking the Fast". Eid al-Fitr is a joyous occasion celebrated by Muslims across the globe.
