The central ruet e Hilal committee then announced for Eid ul Fitr date Thursday 13th May 2021. An unexpected Eid announcement brought joy and excitement in kids but women were worried for Eid preparations including ironing of clothes, preparation of sheerkhurma, Eid breakfast in a short time. 

The festival is celebrated at the end of blessed month of Ramzan. Ramzan is a Holy month of fasting and Eid ul Fitr is a reward for the Muslims in return of their ritual practice of fasting for one month. The date of Eid is Eid-ul-Fitr falls on the first day of Islamic month of Shawwal.

However, the meeting of Ruet-e Hilal committee will be held on Wednesday, 12 May 2021 and announce the final decision after looking at testimony of moon sighting from public.

The rising cases of coronavirus have overshadowed the real excitement and fun of Eid ul Fitr this year. The government has announced 6 holidays on Eid-ul-Fitr. The Eid-Ul-Fitr holidays will be from Monday, 10^th May 2021 to Saturday, 15 May 2021. 

After adding on the Sundays, there are 8 official holidays of Eid-ul-Fitr in 2021. 

The long Eid holidays could be celebrated vigorously amid Eid parties, outings, and picnics in any normal condition but it is not the case this year. The reason behind more holidays is to reduce the mobility of the public due to the tolling covid 19 cases. The Eid-Ul-Fitr holidays tagline is “STAY HOME-STAY SAFE” from 8^th- 16^th May. All public parks, recreational places, inter-city, interprovincial transport will be off during the Eid holidays.

HOW THE MOON IS SIGHTED IN PAKISTAN FOR EID-UL-FITR

 There are 12 months in the Hijri calendar. The actual day of Eid-ul-Fitr is announced after moon sighting or after seeing the crescent (moon of the first night) on the evening of the 29^th date of Ramzan. A public meeting of the Ruet –e Hilal committee is held at federal and provincial levels in Pakistan. The individuals are asked to contact the committee if they find glimpses of the crescent at their places. The Whatsapp numbers and phone numbers are shared on websites so that people can inform the committee if they have sighted the moon. After receiving the authentic evidence of moon sighting from anywhere in the country, the committee announces the Eid-ul-Fitr right the next day. In case, there are not any pieces of evidence of the moon sighting from anywhere in the country, the committee announces Eid, one day after, and Muslims observe one more fast on 30^th Ramzan. The finding of the crescent and an element of surprise about the actual date of Eid-ul-Fitr increases the festivity and excitement connected to Eid-ul-Fitr. Then Eid ul Fitr's actual dates vary depending upon the moon sighting witnessing on the evening of 29^th Ramadan.   

We know, Eid-ul-Fitr after 29^th Ramzan is a favorite of every Muslim but it is expected that Ramzan will be for 30 days this year and Eid-ul-Fitr will be on Friday, May 14, 2021.

On Eid ul, Fitr Muslims thank Allah for giving them the strength to complete the obligatory fasts. Muslims also give an amount called fitra to the poor and needy.
