During the month of Ramadan, Muslims observe a strict fast and participate in pious activities such as charitable giving and peace-making.
It is a time of intense spiritual renewal for those who observe it. At the end of Ramadan, Muslims throughout the world observe a joyous celebration called Eid al-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking).
On the Eid day Muslims attend prayers in congregation, listen to sermons and give Zakat al-Fitr or donations to the poor.
