Eid Mubarak

Eid al-Fitr is a two-day religious holiday, which falls on May 1 and May 2 this year. These days mark the end of Muslim's fasting during Ramadan.

From Vice to the New York Times, the documentary showed the rest of the country that a Muslim-concentrated area can carry on with everyday life -- and play the most American game -- while fulfilling their religious obligations. When it comes to breaking the fast at the end of the day, the process can look different for everyone, depending on their culture. The Muslim Aid also states that the idea of fasting teaches people to be pious and restrain from worldly pleasures. During the holy month, many believe their prayers are listened to and answered. However, on the days that they miss fasting, they are expected to make up those days when they are able. Typically, when someone is observing the holy month, they participate in fasting from sunrise to sundown.
