Eid 2017

The Islamic month of Ramadan or Ramzan is currently being observed by Muslims across the world. Muslims will celebrate Eid al-Fitr or Eid after the holy month of Ramzan will end. Eid is one of the most important festivals of Muslim world, which marks the end of holy month of Ramzan and the start of the Islamic month of Shawwal. Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated on 1st Shawwal, the 10th month as per the Islamic calendar. When is Eid 2017 in India? Islamic lunar months last between 29 and 30 days, depending on sighting of the moon on the 29th night of each month. If the moon sight on 29th day, the new month begins from the evening. If the moon is not visible, the month will last 30 days. The Eid in India will be celebrated either on Monday June 26 or on Tuesday June 27, depending on moon sighting. Muslims in India, expect in Kerala, will observe 29th fasting day of Ramzan on June 25. If moon is sighted on June 25, the Eid will be celebrated on June 26, otherwise the fasting month will end on June 27 and Eid will be celebrated on June 27.

People from Kerala and western countries follow Saudi Arabia’s Islamic Hijri calendar. In Saudi Arabia, and most of the Middle East countries, Eid will be celebrated either on June 25 or June 26, depending on moon sighting. In India, Markazi Ruyat-e-Hilal Committee takes final call on moon sighting and declares Eid.

Fasting in Ramzan:

Fasting in Ramzan, also known as ‘Roza’, is the fourth of the five pillars of Islam and is intended to teach Muslims self-discipline, self-restraint and generosity. During the holy month of Ramzan, Muslims around the world abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and having sex from dawn to dusk. Ramzan, the ninth month of Islamic calendar, is sacred to Muslims because tradition says the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed during that month.
