Muslims around the world are preparing to celebrate Eid al-Fitr from May 12-13. This important holiday represents the end of Ramadan. Aka, the end of a 30-day period of fasting. A typical day celebrating Eid al-Fitr includes starting by consuming dates, praying, and celebrating with close family members.
