Eid al-Fitr is among the most important of all Islamic observances in Iran and is the occasion of national prayer services in Tehran.

In reality, though, religious events like Eid al-Fitr are much more vigorously celebrated in the smaller towns and rural areas of Iran. Eid prayers, called Namaz Eid, Eid charity gifts, called Zakat Al Fitr, and asking each other for forgiveness are regularly practiced.

If a family member or relative dies not long before Eid, the family will hold a special Eid with food and visitors for their deceased loved one that year. Aside from that, there are also TV and radio specials playing for Eid, and people may get away for a few days if they get off of work.
