Celebrations brings people together by sharing common beliefs and happiness that the occasion spreads. Celebrations are the only thing that people forget to Eid al-Fitr is celebrated all around the world just like Christmas. Celebrations are observed to commemorate historic events. The true charm of celebration worldwide is the happiness of the people increases exponentially when it is shared with people as many as possible.
Eid is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to mark the end of holy month Ramzan. On this day no one is allowed to fast. This day also marks the first day of the month of Shawwal. It is a believed by Muslims that it is commanded by Allah that as mentioned in quran they must pay Zakat and Fitr before offering th Eid prayers. Zakat is obligatory 2.5 % of the total savings of a Muslim believer. And Fitr is breaking the fast that was observed during the month of Ramzan.
It is a day of joy,bonding, helping one another and spreading happiness all over the globe: "...Alladhi ja'altahu lil Musilimina 'Eida". However, the purpose of 'Eid is deeper than mere celebration and relaxation. Eid in Arabic is Derived from awd i.e to return or recur. Thus in the past when an afflicted community found relief and erstwhile prosperity and confort returned, that occasion was called 'Eid. After a month long fast and at the end of Hajj the human soul returns to its pristine state of cleanliness and purity; hence the celebrations of 'Eid al-Fitr' and 'Eid al-Hajj'.
Eid Mubarak!
