We Muslims have two holidays (Eids) in the year. They are eid Alfitr and eid
Aladha. Eid Alfitr comes after the holy month of Ramadan, while eid Aladha comes
after the Hajj (in the 10th of Dhulhijjah).
Eid Aladha, comes after doing the great worship of Hajj (Hajj is a kind of worship in
Islam which a Muslim should do at least once in his/her life if he/she can). So Allah
told us to celebrate eids as a way of thanking Him The One Who taught and
helped us worship Him in the right way, so we are very grateful to Him.
In eid people rise very early to perform the eid prayer and listen to a short lecture
(khutbah). After that, they visit their relatives (especially the elder ones) to
congratulate them on this great occasion, asking Allah to accept our prayers and
good deeds.
It is a sunnah (following prophet Muhammad peace be upon him doings) to wear a
new dress in eid and to make people and especially young children happy at that
day. So in eid Alfitr we are asked to pay (zakat alfitr) which is an amount of food of
some kinds. This zakat is given to poor people the night before the eid so they can
enjoy the happiness of eid with others. And in eid Aladha we sacrifice a sheep or
any kind of cattle and give the poor and needy people from its meet.
In Islam eid is a time in the year were all people get together whether they are old,
young, poor, or rich in order to thank Allah for all what He has given us.
Happy Eid to all Muslims.
