Eid al-Fitr is the earlier of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam. The religious holiday of Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan

Expected to begin Tuesday 26 May – Saturday 30 May 2026

Eid al-Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice is the second and the largest of the two main holidays celebrated in Islam. It honours the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as an act of obedience to God’s command.
