Islam has two main festivals (Eid): Eid al-Fitr, celebrated at the end of Ramadan fasting month, marking the completion of 30 days of fasting with prayers, charity, and family gatherings. Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son and coincides with Hajj pilgrimage. Both are times of prayer, gratitude, charity to the poor, and strengthening community bonds.
