Id
Id-ul-Fitr
Id-ul-Fitr is the festival that marks the end of Ramadan. It is celebrated by lots of Muslims worldwide.
Id-ul-Fitr means ‘the festival of breaking the fast’. The festival lasts for three days and it allows family and friends to get together.
During this time, Muslims also give money to the poor. This is known as ‘Zakat-ul-Fitr’ and it reminds Muslims that not everyone is as wealthy as they are.

Id ul-Adha
-
During Id-ul-Adha, Muslims come together to offer Id prayers together in a mosque or a park. As part of the Id an animal is sacrificed in the halal way by a specialist.
The animal's meat is then divided and distributed to family, friends and the poor.
Id-ul-Adha is important as it allows Muslims across the world to participate in Hajj with family and friends, even if they are unable to take the journey to Makkah.
It also reminds Muslims that Allah is with them at all times, which means they should worship him always.
