Eid ul-Fitr will take place in the UK on Tuesday, it has been confirmed.
The religious occasion, which means “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is a key date in the Islamic calendar as it marks the end of Ramadan and its month-long fast.
Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, the date varies depending on the moon.
The date in the UK follows the Saudi Arabia start date, which is declared on the first sighting of the crescent moon.
Saudi announced on Monday that it would start on Tuesday.
In the UK, the moon is expected to be partly visible, depending on your location, on Tuesday.
The moon is anticipated to be fully visible the following day, on Wednesday 5 June.
Usually celebrated over three days, Eid ul-Fitr sees Muslims across the world enjoy a large meal following the fast period. The festival is also a time for forgiveness and making amends.
During this time, well-wishers often greet each other by saying "Eid Mubarak" - which means "happy holiday".
The first Eid ul-Fitr was celebrated by Prophet Muhammed with friends and relatives after the victory of the battle of Jang-e-Badr.
This year Ramadan began on the evening of Sunday May 5.
