Discover the exact date of Eid al-Fitr (عيد الفطر المبارك) for any year between 1300 AH and 1600 AH using our advanced browser-based Shawwal Crescent Ephemeris and Hijri-to-Gregorian Projection Engine. This comprehensive Islamic calendar tool calculates the precise 1st of Shawwal the day Muslims worldwide celebrate the end of Ramadan by modeling the astronomical new moon conjunction, topocentric crescent visibility parameters (lunar altitude, elongation, ARCV/DAZ geometry, and crescent width), and mapping them against six major Hilal sighting conventions used by different Muslim communities: Umm al-Qura (Saudi Arabia), calculated astronomical conjunction, the Moroccan method, the Turkish Diyanet approach, the South Asian (Ruet-e-Hilal) tradition, and ISNA/Fiqh Council criteria.
Beyond date computation, the tool features a real-time Shawwal crescent sky-map canvas rendering the Moon’s position relative to the Sun at sunset, synchronized dual Hijri-Gregorian interactive calendars for visual cross-referencing, a multi-convention comparison table showing how the same Hijri year maps to different Gregorian dates depending on community methodology, and a built-in Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana/Fidyah) calculator that computes obligatory charity amounts in both weight (kg of staple foods wheat, barley, dates, rice, and raisins per the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali madhahib) and local currency equivalents for over 50 countries. The tool also includes an atmospheric Eid Takbeerat audio recitation engine synthesized entirely in-browser using the Web Speech API and Web Audio API requiring no external audio files.
Whether you are a mosque administrator planning Eid prayers, an Islamic studies researcher cross-referencing historical Hijri dates, a developer building Hijri-aware applications, or a Muslim family simply wanting to know when Eid al-Fitr falls next year, this tool provides scholarly-grade astronomical data, fiqhi context from all four Sunni schools of jurisprudence, and a beautiful, fully responsive dark-mode interface all running entirely client-side with zero server calls, zero cookies, and complete privacy.

📖 Significance of Eid al-Fitr, Zakat Rules & Sunnah Etiquettes
Eid al-Fitr — literally "the Festival of Breaking the Fast" — marks the completion of the blessed month of Ramadan. It falls on the 1st day of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic Hijri calendar.
It is called يَوْمُ الجَائِزَة (Yawm al-Jā'izah — "The Day of Reward") because scholars narrate that on this day, Allah distributes the immense rewards earned by the fasting believers during Ramadan. The angels stand at the roads calling: "O Muslims! Hasten to your Generous Lord, for He gives bountifully and forgives great sins."
Unlike Eid al-Adha which is tied to the Hajj pilgrimage, Eid al-Fitr is a celebration of gratitude — thanking Allah ﷻ for enabling the completion of fasting (Sawm) and the nightly Tarawih prayers throughout Ramadan.
وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
"…that you should complete the number (of days of Ramadan), and that you should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that perhaps you may be grateful." — Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185
Every Muslim who possesses food beyond their and their dependents' basic needs for Eid day. The head of household pays on behalf of themselves, spouse, children, and dependent parents.
One Sa' (صاع) of staple food — approximately 2.5 kg to 3 kg of wheat, rice, dates, barley, or raisins. In modern cash, usually $10–$15 per person according to local Islamic councils.
1. Purifies the fasting person from idle talk or indecent conduct during Ramadan. 2. Provides food for the poor so they can celebrate Eid without begging (Abu Dawood 1609).
Must reach the poor before the Eid Salah starts. If delayed until after the prayer, it counts only as ordinary voluntary charity (Sadaqah) and the obligation remains delinquent.
- Perform Ghusl — Take a complete ritual bath before the Eid prayer (Ibn Majah 1315).
- Eat an Odd Number of Dates — The Prophet ﷺ ate an odd number of dates before leaving for Eid prayer (Sahih al-Bukhari 953). Typically 3, 5, or 7 dates.
- Wear Best Clothes & Apply Fragrance — Dress in the finest available garments and apply perfume (for men).
- Recite Takbeerat — Recite the Takbeerat aloud while walking to the Musalla. Men recite audibly; women recite quietly.
- Walk to the Prayer Ground if Possible — It is Sunnah to walk to the Eid prayer and to use a different route when returning (مخالفة الطريق) (Sahih al-Bukhari 986).
- Exchange the Islamic Eid Greeting — Say: تَقَبَّلَ اللَّهُ مِنَّا وَمِنْكُمْ (Taqabbalallāhu minnā wa minkum) — "May Allah accept from us and from you."
After completing Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to voluntarily fast six additional days during Shawwal. The Prophet ﷺ guaranteed the reward of fasting an entire year.
مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كَانَ كَصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ
"Whoever fasts Ramadan and then follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasted for a lifetime." — Sahih Muslim 1164
