Muslim festivals and celebrations — Ramadan, Eid and the rhythms of Islamic life

Muslim festivals and celebrations mark time differently. Where much of the modern world follows a solar calendar, the Islamic year moves with the moon — meaning Ramadan, Eid and the Hajj pilgrimage history cycle through the seasons across a lifetime, never fixed to the same date twice. This rhythm gives Islamic observance a quality that is simultaneously ancient and alive.
