Eid Mubarak Pic
Eid ul Fitr is the 'festival of fast breaking' is the most Significant
of all Muslim festivals. The term 'Eid'
has been derived from the Arabic word 'oud', which means 'the return' and
hence, signifies the return of the festival each year. It is celebrated after
the long fasting month of Ramadan (the ninth month of the Islamic calendar), on
the first day of the Shawwal month of
the Hijri year (Islamic calendar). It Is said that the Quraan was revealed
to Prophet Mohammed in the last ten days of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan is
historically associated with two important victories of Prophet Muhammad - the
battle of Badr and the conquest of Makkah. Fasting during the month of Ramadan,
according to Islamic beliefs, helps in developing self-control and is a way of
getting closer to Allah. The festival of Eid
ul Fitr marks the beginning of celebrations and merriment for a period
extending over three days. Women prepare sweets at home and all Muslims are
seen adorned with new dresses on this day. Eid
ul Fitr is synonymous with joy and thanksgiving. Such is the spirit of this
great festival that even a lot of Non-Muslims participate in Eid celebrations
in India.
