How does Ramadan end? Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid - TopicsExpress



          

How does Ramadan end? Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which in 2003 occurs on November 26. Literally the Festival of Breaking the Fast, Eid al-Fitr is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations (the other occurs after the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca). At Eid al-Fitr people dress in their finest clothes, adorn their homes with lights and decorations, give treats to children, and enjoy visits with friends and family. A sense of generosity and gratitude colors these festivities. Although charity and good deeds are always important in Islam, they have special significance at the end of Ramadan. As the month draws to a close, Muslims are obligated to share their blessings by feeding the poor and making contributions to Mosques.
