Eid-ul-Fitr

Eid-ul-Fitr, often called Eid, is the first of the two Eids in the Islamic calendar and is celebrated by over 2 billion Muslims worldwide. Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadhan, the holy month of fasting, and translates from Arabic as the "festival for breaking the fast."

Throughout Ramadhan, Muslims seek to strengthen their spiritual relationship with God, by realigning their values and engaging with prayer, reflection, charity, and community service. There were a number of successful Iftar (breaking of the fast) events held across the county.

Eid is a time of joy, gratitude, and communal prayers, as well as giving to charity and sharing meals with family and friends. On the blessed day of Eid it is actually prohibited for Muslims to fast!

Eid celebrations will commence from this Sunday 30/Monday 31 March and may go on for a few days. Staff may take extra time off work to recover from celebrations, including indulging in food that would then be permissible during daylight hours.

Eid day begins with performing the normal early morning prayer (Fajr). A special prayer service then takes place several hours later at the mosque, known as Salat-ul-Eid. This includes performance of the `Eid salah` followed by a special sermon from the Imam.

Please note – The Eid Prayer or Salat-ul-Eid can also take place in an open space such as local Parks, which are not normally used for prayers at other times of the year. We have several notable examples up and down the Country such as Finsbury Park, Southall Park as well as Valentines Park in London. Stockwood Park, Luton; Albert Park, Middlesbrough; and closer to home, Platt Fields Park Manchester; and Corporation Park in Blackburn.

After the Eid Prayers, families subsequently gather with their loved ones for a special celebratory meal. Eid-ul-Fitr activities hold special significance for children as they are often gifted cash or other presents and sweets from their elders and relatives.

Eid is a time of forgiveness and a time of reflection especially remembering those who are no longer with us. Eid is also a time for making amends with family and friends who may not necessarily have been high on the `Eid card list`.

At the time of Eid, Muslims remember those less fortunate and give an obligatory payment to charity - Zakat ul Fitr (also known as Fitrana) which is around £5 per member of the household. This charity must be given before the Eid Prayer takes place, so that those less fortunate can enjoy the festivities as well. A common greeting on the day is ‘Eid Mubarak’ which translates to Happy Eid or Blessed Eid, a reply may be given to you as `Khair Mubarak` which literally means 'May the Almighty reward you with goodness`.

Eid Mubarak to one and all.
