The holy festival of Eid-ul-Fitr is being celebrated today in Afghanistan, marking the end of the month-long fasting of Ramadan.
The celebration began following the sighting of the Shawwal moon, which determines the end of Ramadan and the start of Eid festivities. Across the country, people gathered for Eid prayers in mosques and open grounds, exchanging greetings and beginning the day with religious rituals.
Eid-ul-Fitr is one of the most important religious occasions for Muslims, symbolizing gratitude, unity, and charity after a month of fasting and spiritual reflection.
Authorities have declared the day a public holiday, with celebrations expected to continue for several days as families come together and communities observe the festival.
Despite ongoing regional tensions, Eid is being observed as a time for peace, prayer, and togetherness across Afghanistan.
