Eid
is one of the major festivals of Muslims. It is of two types. The first is sweet
Eid and the second is goat Eid. Sweet Eid is also known as Eid-ul-Fitr. On the
other hand, Bakra Eid is also called Bakrid or Eid-ul-Azha. This festival is
considered to be the happiest festival for the Muslim community. Eid is
calculated through the Hizzi calendar and the rise of the moon. Many times Eid
is celebrated on different days in different places.
The month of Ramadan comes before sweet Eid. It is considered to be the holiest
month of the Muslim people. In the month of Ramadan people of religious
instinct fast from sunrise to sunset. Lent is opened after sunset by reciting
Namaz. Opening Roza is also known as Iftar or Iftari. Ramadan lasts for a full
month. Prayers are offered five times a day in this month. Donations are also
given to the poor. All people shop according to their requirement. On the day
of Mithi Eid, dishes and siwis are made. Everyone lovingly embraces each other
and congratulates and wishes. There is also a tradition of giving a small number
of Idi to yourself at this festival.
Sacrifice
Eid is the biggest festival of Muslim
society after Mithi Eid. Namaz has first performed on the day of sacrifice Eid.
The goat is sacrificed after the namaz. It is compulsory for financially
capable people to sacrifice. Sacrifice has a special significance on Bakrid.
After the sacrifice, the first part is kept for the poor. After separating the
share of the poor, it is also distributed among their friends and relatives.
There
is a belief that a Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim had no children. His son was born
after praying to God. One day he had a dream. In which it was said to sacrifice
the sweetest thing in it. Taking this as the command of God, he agreed to
sacrifice his son. Closing his eyes, he offered the sacrifice. When he opened
his eyes after the sacrifice, he saw his son playing. Allah had changed the sheep
(Domba) instead of a son. Since then the practice of male sheep began. Thus,
this festival inspires us to fight against evil and forget discrimination.
