The Lintang Muslims of Indonesia and Sumatra are generally farmers, cultivating rice and coconuts. The Lintang have been faithful followers of Sunnite Islam for centuries, and there are numerous mosques in every town and village. They observe all Islamic holidays, including the celebration of "Eid al-Fitr" (Feast of Breaking the Fast) at the end of the month of Ramadan.
