![]() If the moon is not observed immediately after the 29th day of the previous lunar month (either because clouds block its view or because the western sky is still too bright when the moon sets), then the holiday is celebrated the following day. Traditionally, Eid al-Fitr begins at sunset on the night of the first sighting of the crescent moon. At this, Muhammad remarked that God had fixed two days of festivity: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Anas, a well-known companion of the Islamic prophet, narrated that, when Muhammad arrived in Medina, he found people celebrating two specific days in which they entertained themselves with recreation and merriment. According to certain traditions, these festivals were initiated in Medina after the migration of Muhammad from Mecca. HistoryĪccording to Muslim tradition Eid al-Fitr was originated by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. After the salat, Muslims celebrate the Eid al-Fitr in various ways with food (" Eid cuisine") being a central theme, which also gives the holiday the nickname "Sweet Eid" or "Sugar Feast". Depending on the juristic opinion of the locality, this salat is either farḍ ( فرض, obligatory), mustaḥabb (strongly recommended) or mandūb ( مندوب, preferable). In Shia Islam, the salat has six Takbirs in the first rakat at the end of qira'a, before rukūʿ, and five in the second. Other Sunni schools usually have 12 Takbirs, similarly split in groups of seven and five. It may only be performed in congregation ( jamāʿat) and features seven additional Takbirs (raising of the hands to the ears while saying "Allāhu ʾAkbar", meaning "God is the greatest") in the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam: three at the start of the first rakat and three just before rukūʿ in the second rakat. ![]() Įid al-Fitr has a particular salat (Islamic prayer) that consists of two rakats (units) generally performed in an open field or large hall. The day is also called Lesser Eid, or simply Eid. The holiday is known under various other names in different languages and countries around the world. Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar this does not always fall on the same Gregorian day, as the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on when the new moon is sighted by local religious authorities. Some Muslims, however, do not view it as a sacred holiday. While the Qur'an does not mention the celebration of Eid, the religious holiday of Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.
