Eid-ul-Fitr or Eid-al-Fitr marks the first day of Shawwal month.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Muslims in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE) are celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr with religious fervor today (Thursday) amid third wave of coronavirus pandemic.
According to details, Iran, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Indonesia are also greeting each other on the occasion of Eid.
On the other hand, Shawwal moon was not sighted in India and Bangladesh due to which, the Eid will be celebrated in these countries on Friday (May 14).
Eid-ul-Fitr or Eid-al-Fitr marks the first day of Shawwal month.
Every year, Eid-ul-Fitr occurs approximately 10-11 days earlier depending on the occurrence of the crescent moon because lunar months are shorter than the solar months, hence it varies from country to country by about a day.
