Id-ul-Fitr

Imagine how you would feel at the end of a thirty day fast?  
Id-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and it is a huge celebration in the Muslim community.  Everyone has new clothes and the day begins with prays at the mosque.  After prayers the imam gives a sermon and there is an opportunity to give the yearly zakah.  The day is spent with family and their is plenty of eating and gifts for the children.
