Muslim festivals

Allah gave Muslim festivals are two Eid days during a year to meet, spread, show mercy and the sisterhood and brotherhood and enjoy all allowed pleasures. The Eids are Eidul-Fitr and Eidul-Adha.
Eidul-Fitr: The Muslims enjoy Eidul- Fitr after observing the fasting of Ramadan it is also the 1st date day of the month of Shawwal. Eidul-Fitr comes directly after performing the worship of fasting with pure souls, which are covetous to righteousness and goodness.
Eidul-Adha: Muslims celebrate Eidul-Adha in the 10th of Zull-hajjah in the Islamic calendar. The festival commemorates the sacrifice of Hazrat Ismaeel (a.s) by His father Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s) as commanded by Allah since the Qurbani was Wajib only for the wealthy Muslims. There is not anything dearer to Allah during the days of Qurbani than the sacrificing of animals. The sacrifice is accepted by Allah befor the blood reaches the ground. Qurbani is Wajib to all Muslims male and possess minimum Zakatable wealth

How to pray the Eid Salat:

  1. First create the Niyyah (intention).
  2. The imam will recite the Takbeer-e-Tahrima (Allahu-Akbar) and raise both hands up to the ear level and hands are to be folded below the navel.
  3. Then recite the Sanaa (subhanaka) in full.
  4. After reciting the Sanna the Imam will say the three Takbeers (Allah-Akbar) loudly. To be followed by Muktadi (attendants) silently. Remember that during this Takbeer both of your hands are to be raised up to the ear level and bring the hands down. After the third time fold the hands below the navel.
  5. Then the Imam should read Surah Al-Fatiha with Tasmiah and any other Surah or verse form the holy Quran and then perform the Rukus and Sajdah.
  6. After finishing the first Rakat all the attendants with the Imam will stand for the 2nd Rakat, then the Imam will recite SurahAl-Fatiha with Tasmiah and another Surah verse from the holy Quran.
  7. After that the Imam will recite the Takbeer silently.
