Islam believes that God did not create evil, but he did not want to dictate the human being way of life. By doing so, he claims that doing good or evil is an individual's free will.
Islamic teachings help us in differentiating the difference between what is good and bad although our instincts help us do what is right.

Eid-al-fit this usually means celebration for the end of the fasting of the holy month of Ramadhan where they wait to see the moon themselves. It is typically a period of giving thanks, forgiving and sharing. It is not any different just as it is usually just but a chosen day of that specific event
