The date of Eid is determined by the appearance of the moon.

The day on which the moon appears is called Chand Mubarak. On the day of Eid ul Fitr, people get up early in the morning and pray. Eid then begins with greetings to one another. Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the month of Shawwal according to the Islamic calendar. This is the tenth month of the Hijri calendar. In lunar calendar this day increases by 10-11 days per year. The festival of Eid is celebrated after the end of the month of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan is considered the holiest among Muslims.

According to Islamic sources, the Hijri calendar began when Muhammad returned to Madinah from Mecca. He determined the number of months and days when the moon appeared and disappeared. It officially began during the time of Caliph Umar Ibr al-Khattab. Muhammad Saheb He left Mecca for Madinah in 622 and that is when the calendar began. Due to its isolation and migration from Mecca, it was named the Hijri Calendar.

Eid is celebrated in India on the day after the moon appears in the Gulf countries. According to the Muslim calendar, seeing the moon in Eid is so important. This whole month is holy. After this whole month of worship, Eid was given to his people by Allah. As soon as the moon appears, the last month ends and the new month begins.

In the meantime, Allah commands you to wear the clothes of your choice. Then people go to Eidgah (place of Eid prayers) in the city to offer Eid prayers.
