Iranian President Hassan Rouhani

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has extended his felicitations to the heads of states and people of Muslim countries on the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

In a Friday message, Rouhani described Eid al-Fitr as the festival for returning to pure humane natures and paving the way to avoid any kind of violence and extremism.

He also expressed hope that with the increasing cooperation of all Islamic countries, sustainable peace and security would be established throughout the world, particularly among the Muslim ummah.

The Iranian president further wished all Muslims around the globe honor and happiness.

The fasting month of Ramadan - the ninth month on the Islamic calendar - ends in the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, which is one of the main Muslim holidays. On Eid al-Fitr, Muslims are encouraged to be especially generous and forgiving.

This year, the Eid is observed on Saturday in Iran and some other Islamic countries.
