"EID"
Islam celebrates two great festivals. Eid-ul-fitr and Eid-ul-adha.
Eid-ul-Fitr
Eid-ul-fitr is celebrated at the end of Ramadan, the first day of Shawwal. The month long fasting ends with the festival that symbolizes a reward for their fasting. During the festival of Eid, Muslims exchange gifts, greeting their neighbors as a mark of brotherhood.
Muslims on the day of Eid wear new clothes and offer special namaz. Eid not only has religious essence but also carries a social connotation.
Eid-ul-Adha
Eid-ul-adha the greater Eid is celebrated at the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah. On the Eid day, Muslims gather early in the morning in mosques to perform Eid prayer. The festival remembers the prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son when Allah ordered him to.
As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, Allah stopped him and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead. Muslims all over the world who can afford it, sacrifice a sheep or goat as a reminder of prophet Ibrahim's obedience to Allah.
