Ramadan began on March 22 and in three weeks, it will be time for Eid-ul-Fitr or the festival of sweets. After a month of fasting during daylight hours, Muslim people across the world will observe the end of the period of abstaining with a celebration.
From beautiful clothes to gifts being exchanged as well as social gatherings with friends and family - Eid will truly be a time to acknowledge everything that we are blessed with.
In Birmingham as well, several events are taking place to celebrate Islamic culture. Families are also getting ready to mark the happy day with great outfits and food.
