What is shown in this coloring page?

Eid al-Fitr, often called the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," is one of the two major Islamic holidays. It begins with a special communal prayer at dawn. People wear their best clothes, decorate their homes, and give gifts and sweets (like dates and baklava) to children. A key part of the celebration is giving "Zakat al-Fitr," a charitable donation to ensure everyone can join in the feast. The day is filled with joy, forgiveness, and wishes of "Eid Mubarak!" (Blessed Eid!).
