Eid al-Fitr is only a few days away as Muslims from different countries in the world celebrate the end of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.
After a month of fasting, Muslims will celebrate Eid upon the successful completion of Ramadan and sighting of the crescent moon.
The exact date of celebration of Eid al-Fitr varies from country to country due to geography and moon behaviour.
Just like how Muslims observed the beginning of Ramadan with the sighting of the new moon, Eid al-Fitr will also be confirmed by the sighting of the crescent moon.
Eid al-Fitr is celebrated in any country only after the sighting of the crescent, which marks the beginning of the new Islamic month of Shawwal.
