عِيد مُبَارَك
Eid Mubarak
“Blessed Eid!”
Two gifts from Allah
Muslims have two big celebrations every year: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The Prophet ﷺ said Allah gave us these two days of joy.
Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr comes right after Ramadan, on the first day of the month of Shawwal. Before the Eid prayer, families give Zakat al-Fitr, so everyone, even poor people, can celebrate.
Eid al-Adha
Eid al-Adha comes during Hajj, on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah. We remember how Prophet Ibrahim obeyed Allah, and families share meat with relatives, friends and people in need.
How we celebrate
We wake up early, wear our best clothes, say 'Allahu Akbar' on the way to the Eid prayer, visit family, give gifts and say 'Eid Mubarak!'
“Allah has given you two days better than them: the day of Al-Adha and the day of Al-Fitr.”
