Description
Each of the major Islamic holidays, festivals, and special days includes unique traditions and customs. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast during the day. At the end of Ramadan, the festival of Eid al-Fitr is a celebration with feasts and acts of kindness. During Eid al-Adha, many Muslims pray together at sunrise and share special foods and gifts with family and friends. Clear text and vibrant photos help readers gain a greater understanding of these and other Islamic traditions.
