Brief History - According to www.hindustantimes.com
Eid Al Fitr was started by Islamic Prophet Muhammad. It is believed that Prophet Muhammad got the first revelation of the Holy Quran during the month of Ramadan. Eid Al Fitr then marked the end of fasting from dawn to dusk during Ramadan and the beginning of the Shawwal month.

Muslim brother and sister across the globe start Eid Al Fitr celebrations by taking part in prayers which are followed by a sermon soon after dawn. The day proceeds with people getting ready, wearing new clothes, and exchanging greetings and sweets. Children receive gifts and money from elders. The day is incomplete without the preparation of a variety of dishes including Biryani, Haleem, kebabs, and a sweet dish like Seviyan. As one of the five pillars of Islam, Zakat, or giving of alms to the poor is also practiced on Eid.
