Eid al-Fitr (Eid al-Adha) comes in the middle of Ramadan. According to Islamic teachings, during the second month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid-al-Fitr marks the day of the start of the new Islamic lunar calendar.
In this month, Muslims celebrate the last ten days of the lunar month of Ramadan, and it is customary for Muslims in their respective countries to fast during this month. Muslims were encouraged to attend the mosque and to wake up early in the morning to break their fast.
The Quran (s. 81:1-8) says: "And rejoice in the fact that you will break your fast and have communion with all the believers in the land of the two holy rivers. That is for the mercy of Allah. And prepare for a month's journey, that will bring good tidings, that you may meet each other and deal peacefully with one another, for Allah is well acquainted with what you do."
On the morning of Eid, Muslims recite the first five verses of the Holy Quran, which declare the verse: "Every soul shall surely enter paradise," as the "last and most beloved verse".
Muslims take the names of the believers during the Eid prayer, praising Allah for their deeds and the good deeds of their fellow Muslims, as they observe the day as "Eid al-Fitr" or the "Celebration of the Day of the Resurrection". This Eid is also called "Mabathar al-Fitr" (Eid of Good Growth).
Eid al-Fitr 2021, coming on the 29th day of Ramadan, will fall on May 14.
Just as the preceding dates of Eid, Eid al-Adha falls at the end of the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Eid al-Adha, which comes at the end of the Hajj season, commemorates the pilgrimage to Mecca and the salvation of Abraham's son, Ishmael.
Fasting and praying during the 10 days of Eid al-Fitr is also a symbol of worshipping Allah during this holy month of Ramadan.
On Eid al-Adha, Muslims not only observe the fasting that was prescribed in the holy Quran, they also celebrate the Eid with full spirit.
Eid al-Adha is one of the most important religious days for Muslims, who offer prayers to Allah and celebrate it with their families. People observe it by giving alms to the needy, fasting, praying and giving alms to Muslims in need.
On Eid al-Adha, Muslims begin their fasting at sundown, just as they began their fasting on the 10th day of Ramadan.
In Islamic tradition, Muslims recite the last five verses of the Holy Quran during the prayer of Eid al-Adha, before beginning the prayer, as they were the first five verses that were revealed to the prophet Muhammad during the moment of his Islamic awakening, marking the occasion of the start of his new Islamic lunar calendar.
In the first five verses, Allah declares: "Indeed there is not for you a deed that Allah is displeased with. And for every deed, Allah is most pleased with those who pay it" (s. 59:17).
According to Islamic teachings, the Quran (s. 59:17) implies the need for the public to offer charity towards the needy. These are only five verses that were revealed during the time of the prophet Muhammad, as Allah declared: "And grant me faith, oh Muslims, until I have said to you in the final words of my Revelation that 'I am going to use you to reveal Me in the grace of the sacrifice. I am going to make it a point to disclose My Grace.'"
On the morning of Eid, Muslims perform Eid al-Fitr (Eid al-Adha) prayer, which begins at sunset. They take the names of the people in their prayer, praising Allah for the good deeds and generosity of their fellow Muslims, as they observe the day as "Eid al-Fitr" or the "Celebration of the Day of the Resurrection".
On Eid al-Adha, Muslims observe the days of fasting and pray, praising Allah for the good deeds that they have performed during the holy month of Ramadan.
Eid Al-Fitr Mubarak
