Eid-al-Fitr is that only day of Shawwal that Muslims are not permitted to fast and many chose to fast for further six days after Eid.

Eid-al-Fitr is the day the Muslim community across the world celebrates the end of the holy month of Ramadan, which is the eighth month in Islamic calendar. It will fall on the evening of June 25 depending on the sighting of the crescent moon or Shawwal Moon.

If the moon is sighted, Eid will be celebrated on Sunday, June 25 in the Middle East, Europe, and the U.S. The last fasting of Ramadan will be done on Saturday.
