Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Why Do We Celebrate Eid

Why do we celebrate Eid,

we celebrate Eid, this to EADS.

So we celebrate Eid, the first one which is eidl fitter following

Ramadan.

The Prophet sallallahu sallam said in its yo mo aircalin We should

have been, will be Ireland, because you've just fasted for 30

days, you've just fasted for a month. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala

wants to prohibit that fast on that day, so that you can

have hospitality from Allah subhanaw taala and enjoy yourself.

So

that one is following the month of fasting to celebrate at the end of

that one. The second one is not really a celebration, though we've

kind of made it a celebration, but it's not the same thing. That one

is more for qurbani that one is for a sacrifice. So the main

purpose of that and it's actually called either add her and other

Herman sacrifice. It's to recall the whole sacrificial scenes of

the past of Ibrahim Hassan for those who don't go for Hajj for

those who go for it, there's no need for them anyway, is the Omen

Na is the day of sacrifice. And that's the day they do their

pelting, and they do their tawaf and they do the sacrifice, and so

on and so forth. But for everybody else, they do the sacrifice this

qurbani this old here, so that's what it's about, but at the same

time, then people wear new clothes and all the rest of it, and it

make it into a celebration. So really, that's what the reality of

both of these are.

And the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that, that Allah subhanaw

taala, in place of all of these other celebrations that they used

to have enjoy Helia in ignorance that Allah has given you these two

days where you do these communal

activities of happiness and you visit your family and you do these

things.
