Aïd Al-Fitr Celebration in Morocco
The Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs in Morocco has officially announced that the celebration of Aïd Al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, will take place on Friday, March 20, 2026. This announcement was made on the evening of Thursday, March 19, following the observation of the lunar crescent after the Maghrib prayer on the 29th of Ramadan, 1447 in the Islamic calendar.
The sighting of the moon confirms the beginning of the month of Shawwal, and thus, the first day of Shawwal 1447, which is Aïd Al-Fitr, will be celebrated on the specified date. Aïd Al-Fitr is a significant occasion for Muslims around the world, symbolizing joy, gratitude, and the spirit of community after a month of fasting and reflection.
During this festive time, families and friends come together to share meals, exchange gifts, and perform communal prayers in mosques and open spaces. The atmosphere is filled with joy and celebration as people dress in traditional attire, visit loved ones, and engage in charitable acts to help those in need.
