Upon asking the occasion, someone told him that these are the celebrations of the end of month-long fasting observed by them. Later Prophet Muhammad explained that Allah had already set two days of celebration for his devotees. These two days are known as Eid-al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adha. Out of these two, Eid-al-Fitr is the end of Ramadan and it is celebrated with harmony and joy.
