When is Eid al-Fitr 2026 in Indonesia?

Eid al-Fitr ('Festival of Breaking the Fast') marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. It was established by Prophet Muhammad after the first Ramadan in 624 CE. The holiday celebrates gratitude, spiritual renewal, and community.

Muslims attend special Eid prayers, give Zakat al-Fitr (charity), and celebrate with family feasts. New or best clothes are worn. Gifts are exchanged, especially for children. Homes are decorated, and traditional sweets like baklava and dates are enjoyed.

Eid al-Fitr begins on the first day of Shawwal (10th month of Islamic calendar), determined by moon sighting. The Islamic calendar is lunar, so dates shift approximately 11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
