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.
