What is Eid al-Fitr?

Eid or Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, which is a month of fasting that starts on April 23 and last until May 23, 2020.

Eid is marked next year on May 24, 2020.

It is an important religious holiday for Muslims and is a day when they are not permitted to fast.

Eid kick-starts the month of Shawwal, which begins with a feast to end the period of fasting.

However, some Muslims do observe six days of fasting during Shawwal (the day after Eid) - as this period is considered equivalent to fasting all year round.

It is believed that good deeds are rewarded 10 times in Islam and so to fast for the 30 days during Ramadan and a further six days during Shawwal fulfils the obligation of fasting for the entire year.

The celebration of Eid is a public holiday in many Muslim countries, but is not one in the UK, despite a campaign for it to be recognised back in 2014.

During Eid, Muslims will often purchase new clothes for the occasion, and take part in festivals and celebrations.

Many will wake up early to pray at a mosque or outdoor prayer venue.

Gifts and cards are often exchanged among friends and family.

Eid means "celebration" and Mubarak means "blessed", often Eid Mubarak is used as a greeting over this period.

Eid al-Adha will begin on the evening of July 30, 2020 and ends on the evening of August 3, 2020.

The celebration revolves around when Allah appeared to Ibrahim in a dream and asked him to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, as a sign of his faith.

It’s similar to the Christian and Jewish stories in which God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, but spared him from doing so.

During this time, Muslims traditionally sacrifice animals, in Britain this is done in a slaughterhouse, and the meat is divided up among friends, family and the needy.

ईद अल-अधा 30 जुलाई, 2020 की शाम को शुरू होगा और 3 अगस्त, 2020 की शाम को समाप्त होगा।

उत्सव तब घूमता है जब अल्लाह ने इब्राहिम को एक सपने में दिखाई दिया और उसे अपने विश्वास के संकेत के रूप में अपने बेटे, इश्माएल को बलिदान करने के लिए कहा।

यह ईसाई और यहूदी कहानियों के समान है जिसमें भगवान ने अब्राहम को अपने बेटे इसहाक का बलिदान करने के लिए कहा, लेकिन उसे ऐसा करने से बख्शा।

इस समय के दौरान, मुस्लिम पारंपरिक रूप से जानवरों की बलि देते हैं, ब्रिटेन में यह एक कसाईखाने में किया जाता है, और मांस को दोस्तों, परिवार और जरूरतमंदों के बीच बांटा जाता है।
