Id-ul-Fitri

After Ramadlan the month of fasting, the Festival of Fast-breaking (Id-ul-Fitri) takes place on the first day of the succeeding month (Shawwal). The Day of Festival is the day of thanksgiving and rejoicing for the fulfillment of the obligation of fasting according to the command of Allah. On the Festival Day, it is recommended to have a bath, put on the best clothes, eat a few dates and gather for Id prayer after sunrise. Prayer is achieved by two units (rakaat), with no call for prayer; seven additional takbirat are added to the first unit and five additional takbirat are added to the second unit. Takbirat is means saying "Allahu Akbar", i.e. Allah is Most Great.[]
