on the festivals of Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr.
on the festivals of Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr.
The phrase translates into English as "blessed festival", and can be
paraphrased as "may you enjoy a blessed festival".
Muslims wish each other Eid Mubarak after performing the
Eid prayer.
This celebration continues till the end of the day.
It is notable that saying
these exact words is a cultural tradition influenced by deep roots of
religion in it; however, it is not part of any religious obligations.
Eid refers to the occasion itself, and Mubarak is roughly 'may it
become good for you', but the phrase is used in the same context
that "Merry Christmas" would be.
Throughout the Muslim world there are numerous other ways of
greeting for Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr.
Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى 'Īd ul-'Aḍḥā) is a religious festival
celebrated by Muslims and Druze worldwide as a commemoration of
Ibrahim's (Abraham's) willingness to sacrifice his son, as
commanded by Allah. (Muslim tradition names Ishmael as the son who
was to be sacrificed, whereas the Judeo-Christian
tradition names Isaac.)
It is one of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis
comes from the Quran.[1] (Muslims in Iran celebrate a
third, non-denominational Eid.)
Like Eid el-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha begins with a shortprayer
followed by a sermon (khuṭba).
Eid ul-Fitr ( عيد الفطر ), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday
that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while
Fiṭr means "to
break the fast" (and can also mean "nature", from the word "fitrah")
and so symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period.
Eid ul-Fitr starts the day after Ramadan ends, and is verified by
the sighting of the new moon. Muslims give money to the poor
and wear their best clothes.
Eid ul-Fitr lasts three days and is called "The Lesser Eid" ( العيد الصغير
al-'īdu ṣ-ṣaghīr) compared with the Eid ul-Adha that lasts four days
and is called "The Greater Eid" ( العيد الكبير al-'īdu l-kabīr).
