Muslims around the world are bidding farewell to the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and will soon start celebrating the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Eid is typically greeted with joy and excitement and is marked with congregational prayers and festivities that usually include family visits,

Two major Islamic holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, could become state recognized holidays under a bill heading to Gov. Bob Ferguson’s desk. The state House on Monday passed Senate Bill 5106, weeks after the Senate had done the same.

One of two celebratory holidays in the Islamic faith, Eid al-Fitr is when Muslims come together in prayer and celebrate completing Ramadan. The "Festival of Breaking the Fast" is celebrated worldwide during the first three days of Shawwāl, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar.
