Muslims celebrate the completion of their sacred duties throughout Ramadan with the start of Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of Breaking the Fast, after a month of prayer, devotion, and self-control. In many Muslim-majority nations, the celebration is a national holiday.

During Eid al-Fitr, people come together to celebrate for two to three days. They start their day with special morning prayers and greet each other with "Eid Mubarak," which means "Blessed Eid." It's a time of joy and happiness.

Muslims often spend the day visiting their relatives and neighbors, spreading the festive spirit. As they move from house to house, they receive and enjoy various types of sweets and treats.

Each country has its own traditional desserts and sweets that are prepared before Eid or on the first day itself. For instance, in many Middle Eastern countries, a popular tradition is to make delicious date-filled semolina cookies called maamoul.
