the holy month of
Muslims, it is believed
that holy book Qu’ran
was revealed to
prophet Muhammad
during this month by
the angel Jibril.

during this month the
gates of hell are closed
and the gates of
heaven are open.
• The Prophet
Muhammad declared
the last day of
Ramadan as a day of
celebration
strengthening the
feeling of brotherhood.
'Fitr' is derived from
the word 'fatar'
meaning 'breaking’.
The weeks of fasting
came to an end.
When does the festival begin?

themselves.

Muslim communities all over the world
with great devotion and joy.
