What is Eid?

What is Eid and why do 2 billion people celebrate it?

Ramadan is the month in the Islamic calendar where people fast to commemorate the Prophet Muhammad PBUH (peace be upon him) receiving the revelations in the Quran. Eid al-Fitr is usually two to three days of celebrations at the end of Ramadan. The way Eid is celebrated varies all over the world, including:

• Donating to charities

• Making sweets and sharing

• Forgiving others

• Hanging lanterns

• Decorating with flowers

• Spending time with friends and family

Let's take a look at some of the ways you can have a happy healthy Eid!

During Ramadan people fast during the day and can only eat after sunset usually with their family. This can make balancing work and life is challenging.

Can't decide between work, school, family, friends, and other responsibilities?

Important tasks bring us closer to our goals. We have different goals — what matters to each of us can be different.

• We will never have more than 24 hours a day, but we can use our time more carefully

• Create a to-do list today. For each item, ask yourself: Is it important? Is it urgent?

• Then rearrange your list. Take a look on the weekend and see if you made the most of your time.
