Questions
Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of Ramadan. It begins with a special morning prayer, and families celebrate with new clothes, festive meals, sweets, visits to relatives, and gifts for children.
The main celebration is on the first day, but many countries enjoy one to three days of festivities and public holidays.
It's a charitable donation Muslims give before the Eid prayer, so that people in need can celebrate Eid too.
The Eid prayer is held in the morning, after the sun has fully risen and before midday. It is two units of prayer (rak'ahs) in congregation, often outdoors or in a large hall, followed by a sermon. Mosques announce their own times, and many hold more than one.
The most common greeting is "Eid Mubarak," meaning "blessed celebration." Another, used since the time of the Prophet's companions, is "Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum," which means "May Allah accept from us and from you."
Yes. It is a Sunnah to eat something before the Eid al-Fitr prayer, traditionally an odd number of dates, to show the fast is over. On Eid al-Adha it is the other way around: people wait to eat until after the prayer.
