Eid-Al-Fitr is one of the major holidays of Islam. It comes at the end of the holy month of Ramadan and celebrates the end of the fasting. The holiday comes on the first day of the 10th month in the Islamic lunar calendar.

Because the month of Ramadan is all about fasting, Eid-Al-Fitr is all about NOT fasting. During Ramadan, Muslims have not eaten while the Sun is in the sky. On Eid-Al-Fitr, they celebrate the end of Ramadan with a sweet snack and then get ready for a day of celebration.

On this day, Muslims are encouraged to dress in their best clothes and attend a special Eid prayer at their neighborhood mosque. Before the prayer begins, Muslims make an alms payment (the Zakat al Fitr) Corner of the five pillars of Islam
Such as prayer and fasting
Take money from the rich and the poor are given
Thereby achieving social solidarity in Islam

for the month of Ramadan, in the form of food or its cash equivalent. This food and / or money is then distributed to the poor. After the special religious service, the focus turns to gift-giving. Children are given many gifts. Women get gifts from their loved ones. Also on this day, people are encouraged to settle feuds or disputes, especially those between family members.

Eid Al-Fitr means "Feast of Fast-Breaking." It is often celebrated during three days, with the first day marking the end of Ramadan.

Eid celebration cancelled in Nigeria - The National

Eid celebration cancelled in Nigeria

KANO, Nigeria // Nigeria yesterday cancelled a centuries-old Eid festival known for its elaborate horse pageant, officially due to the emir's health, but residents suspected worsening violence was to blame.

The festival has taken place in Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's mainly Muslim north, for five centuries, featuring a horse pageant called a durbar, where riders in colourful robes and turbans pay homage to the local emir.

Over five days at the end of Ramadan, the Emir of Kano, the top traditional and spiritual figure in the area, and his royal entourage tour the city on horseback while dressed in richly ornamented robes.
It has been one of Nigeria's few tourist attractions, with stunning photographs of the processions making their way into guidebooks. Kano has played an important role in Islamic culture, positioned on a trans-Saharan trade route.

But the festival, set to begin this weekend, will not take place this year. Some said it was the first time it had been cancelled outright, though it has been held in reduced form previously.

"Due to His Royal Highness's ill health, he has mandated me to inform you that he has cancelled all Sallah festivities ... but will only attend the Eid prayers at the mosque," the emir's senior counsellor Abbas Sunusi told reporters.

The emir, Ado Bayero, has been on the throne for 59 years and has been dogged by an undisclosed ailment for some time. Rumours have spread that he is suffering from prostate cancer and has frequently travelled to Britain for treatment.

But the city has also been badly affected by violence committed by Islamist extremist group Boko Haram, whose insurgency has killed more than 1,400 people since 2010.

Its deadliest attack yet occurred in Kano in January, when coordinated bombings and shootings left at least 185 people dead.

On Saturday, soldiers raided a suspected Boko Haram hideout outside the city and discovered a cache of arms including guns and explosives.
Authorities said three suspects arrested in the raid confessed that the arsenal was intended for attacks in the city during Eid.

"We know that the emir has been sick for some years but it did not stop him from holding the durbar. We believe there is more to what the palace is giving as reason for cancelling the Eid festival," resident [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]u Nasiru said.

"The main reason is the security situation in the city. There are fears that Boko Haram may launch attacks during the Eid," said Nasiru, who has been attending the durbar for 32 years.

Other residents expressed similar opinions.

Last year, despite having undergone surgery, the emir held the durbar, though he cancelled some parts of the city tour.

Happy Eid Al-Fitr to all my Muslim friends!

Indeed!

And now it would be truly wonderful to see our Muslim friends offer us the same good wishes at the end of the Baha'i Fast next March!

There are, after all, many religions with equally happy and festive times.

Peace, :)

thank you to all
Eid Mubarak.....^_^


During Eid celebration for Muslims
Differs from non-Muslim celebration

Not adultery - not drinking alcohol - not for committing sins
But

First thanks to God through the Eid prayer
Then
Wear the best clothes

Visit neighbors and friends and uphold the ties of kinship
Exchanging gifts
And enjoy the beautiful in public places
And enjoy the happy days
