Idul-Fitr, of late known by the misnomer `Ramadan' is one of the two festivals of Islam. Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar year. During this month the Muslims Observe fast, giving up all kinds of food and drinks during day time, and spend the major part of the night in devotion and prayer. Purification of the body and soul is the main aim of this observance.

When the crescent appears on the western horizon heralding the end of the month of fasting , it marks the beginning of the Idul-Fitr festival. Because this festival is connected with the month of Ramadan, it came to be known as `Ramadan'. The Idul-Fitr festival starts with the commencement of the first day of the month of `Shawwl'. The first item of the celebration is distribution of food materials to the poor and the deserving. Any person who holds food in excess of the day's need must necessarily make his contribution in accordance with the scales prescribed by Islam. Muslims all over the world celebrate this festival with great eclat and in gratitude to God.

You can see billions of stars in the sky at night. But after the dawn you can not see any stars in the sky. This does not mean that there are no stars in the sky at the day time and you cannot establish this in any manner. You are not seeing god because of your ignorance but do not say that there is no GOD.
:- Sri Ramakrishna Parama Hamsar
