According to a report of Gulf News, Eid-ul-Fitr may be celebrated in the country on April 10.

Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Astronomical Society, said that the first day of Shawwal may fall on April 10. This day will be Wednesday. As such, Muslims may have to observe 30 fasts this year.

According to the report, the birth of the Shawwal crescent will coincide with a total solar eclipse on April 8. As a result, the crescent moon will not be visible before midnight in most countries of the Islamic world. It will be visible after sunset the next day.

For Muslims, Eid-ul-Fitr carries religious, cultural and spiritual significance. Muslims celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr as a festival after the month-long fasting of Ramadan.

On the day of Eid, Muslims pray two rakats. This prayer is called Eid prayer in Islam. This prayer is held in an open field or in a large congregation.
