What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and marks the time when the Quran is said to have been revealed to Prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. It is marked with a month-long fast. Its name literally means “scorching heat” in Arabic.
What is Eid al-Fitr?
Eid al-Fitr is held immediately after Ramadan.
Celebrations can last up to three days, depending on where you are in the world.
Its name comes from an Arabic term that translates as the “feast of breaking the fast”, and although not a public holiday in the UK, it is in many Muslim countries.
