So, Australia kept the 30th fast of Ramadan and will be celebrating Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday. Along with Saudi Arabia, Europe, and New Zealand.

Eid al-Fitr is an important religious event celebrated by Muslims to celebrate the end of Ramadan. This is a way of celebrating the completion of fasts, and special prayers during the month of Ramadan.
