Muslims around the world are preparing to see the crescent moon to embrace the month of Shawwal on Eid-ul-Fitr or Eid-al-Fitr. The ninth month on the Islamic Lunar calendar is Ramadan and the tenth is Shawwal whose first day is marked as Eid-ul-Fitr worldwide.

While the West traditionally follows the Gregorian calendar, the Islamic calendar is a month which means it is based on the view of the crèche moon. Every year, Eid-ul-Fitr occurs about 10-11 days in advance depending on when the moon is seen as the lunar months are shorter than the lunar months and therefore vary from country to day by day.
