Eid al-Fitr is one of the two major Islamic festivals, marking the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. It is a day of celebration, gratitude to Allah, and strengthening community bonds. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained." (Bukhari)
