There are two official
holidays in Islam:
Eid Al-Fitr and
Eid Al-Adha. Eid Al-Fitr is celebrated at the end of
Ramadan (a month of fasting during daylight hours), and Muslims usually give
zakat (charity) on the occasion. Eid Al-Adha is celebrated on the tenth day of
Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for four days, during which Muslims usually sacrifice a sheep and distribute its meat in 3 parts: among family, friends, and the poor.
