One of the purposes behind Eid Prayer is to provide an opportunity to a large number of Muslims to attend congregations in an atmosphere of religious piety. However, all Muslims should attend prayers of both Eids as most scholars, on the basis of strong evidence, is of opinion that it is Wajib (obligation). Religious scholars have differing opinions on Eid prayers. “Let them be O Abu Bakr, for these are day of Eid.” In another narration, it is said that Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W.) said to Abu Bakr (R.A.): O Abu Bakr! Every people have their Eid and this is our Eid.” It was narrated by Aisha (R.A.) who reported that Prophet (S.A.W.) said to Abu Bakr (R.A.) (On the day of Eid when Abu Bakr (R.A.) saw two girls were singing the stories about the Day of Buath in Madinah): Įid-ul-Fitr is a time of happiness and enjoyment and this is also evident from the following Hadith: The day is spent with friends and family get-togethers, indulging in delicious feasts and handing out gifts also known as Eidi. Everyone gets new clothes made for the special occasion because every single person wants to look his/her best. After offering prayer, Muslim greet each other with the customary Eid greeting, ‘Eid Mubarak’. Muslims all over the world celebrate the festival of Eid al Fitr by starting the day with the Eid prayer. Since it is a religious festival, Muslims all over the world celebrate this event with much fervor and each country’s celebrations vary as there is an influence of their traditions. “No fasting is permissible on the two days of Eid-ul-Fitr and EId-ul-Adha.” Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (R.A.) that Prophet (S.A.W.) said: Remember one thing that Fasting on Eid days i-e Eid ul-Fitr and Eid al-Adha is forbidden as the same is evident from the following Hadith: “Allah has given you better than those feasts (festivals of non-believers): the ‘Eid-ul-Adha’ and ‘Eid-ul-Fitr’” Narrated that Anas bin Malik (R.A.), who said: Traditionally, Eid al Fitr is celebrated for three days in almost all Muslim countries.īoth Eid ul Fitr and Eid Al-Adha have great significance in Islam as the same is evident from the following Hadith: This is also believers thanking Allah for giving them the chance and the strength to carry out His commands during the blessed month of Ramadan. Eid al Fitr is Allah’s reward for believers who fasted during the holy month of Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of holy month of Ramadan. Eid ul Fitr, known as ’عيد الفطر’ is Arabic and Asian countries, is a religious festival for all Muslims around the world.
