Eid al-Fitr, also known as the Festival of Fast-breaking, is a crucial religious holiday celebrated by Muslims in Afghanistan that commemorates the conclusion of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. On the first day of Eid al-Fitr, they gather for communal prayer at daybreak, after cleaning themselves and putting on new clothes. They continued to celebrate for three more days after that.

Visits to family and friends, giving gifts, enjoying feasts, donning new clothes, and visiting relatives' graves are all part of the Eid al-Fitr celebrations in Afghanistan. They demonstrate their gratitude to Allah through these festivals, after reflecting and fasting throughout Ramadan.

This festival also serves as a reminder to citizens in this country to be truly thankful for what they have and to assist those less fortunate. This is called zakat, and it is one of Islam's five pillars. Zakat is a religious obligation for all Muslims in this country who have the financial resources to contribute to those who are less fortunate. During Ramadan, zakat rises dramatically and remains a prominent component of Eid al-Fitr.

The "Feast of Sacrifice," also known as Eid al-Adha, is the most significant feast in the Muslim calendar of Afghans.

The three-day Eid al-Adha festival commemorates Ibrahim's (Abraham's) willingness to obey God by sacrificing his son.

They re-enact Ibrahim's obedience by sacrificing a cow or ram during the Eid al-Adha feast. A third of the meal will be consumed by the family, a third will be shared with friends and family, and the remaining third will be donated to the poor and needy. Another important Eid al-Adha tradition in Afghanistan is the distribution of charity in the form of money, food, or clothes to the homeless or poor.

The Prophet's birthday is also known as Mawlid or Mawlid al-Nabi, and it honors Prophet Muhammad's birth anniversary. The celebration of this day is fraught with controversy in Afghanistan because it commemorates both the Prophet's birthday and the anniversary of his death.

While some Muslims in this country mark the day with street parades, processions, donations, charity, and communal gatherings, others consider birthday celebrations to violate Islamic law. They instead recite verses from the Holy Quran and, in certain circumstances, fast on this day. Both sides, however, use Hadith narrations to push their beliefs.

Ashura is one of the most famous festivals in Afghanistan. It commemorates the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, who perished in the Battle of Karbala. Ashura is regarded as a significant feast in Shia Islam, whereas it is observed as a recommended fasting day in Sunni Islam. According to Sunni Muslims, Moses fasted on this day to express his thanks to God for the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt. According to Sunni tradition, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) fasted on this day and encouraged others to fast as well.

For both Shi'a and Sunni Muslims, the commemoration of Ashura is a respectful and sorrowful event, and for Shi'as, it is a particularly profound period of grief and mourning. Mourners of both sexes customarily gather at a mosque for mournful, poetic lamentations in commemoration of the martyrdom, grieving to the beat of drums and shouts of "Ya Hussain." Scholars will also provide sermons on Hussein's personality and his position in Islam, as well as the history of his rebellion.
