Eid festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Muslim communities, Eid' (Arabic: عيد ) is the name of two Islamic festivals:
- Eid ul-Fitr, marking the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan, held on the first day of Shawwal.
- Eid ul-Adha, commemorating the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son to Allah, held on the tenth day of Hajj.
Eid is an Arabic word, meaning "festival" or "festivity". but there is still a question. When is Eid?
In Turkish, these celebrations are called Bayram. Bayram means "feast" in Turkish and usually in the international community (especially among non-Muslims) bayram (Turkish) is used rather than Arabic forms.
In modern Iran, Eid usually refers to Nowrooz (when it is used alone). It is also used in compound terms such as Eid-e-Ghadir (Ghadir Khom), Eide-e-Fetr (Eid ul-Fitr), Eid-e-Qorban (Eid ul-Adha), and Eid-e-Mab'as.
