What is the Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha Guide?
Muslims celebrate two Eids each year. Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan on the first of Shawwal, and Eid ul-Adha falls on the tenth of Dhul Hijjah, after the Day of Arafah. Each begins with a congregational prayer, and each has its own acts of giving.
This guide uses tabs for the main topics: an overview with dates, the Eid prayer, zakat ul-fitr, Qurbani, duas, sunnah acts, greetings, gifts and food, and a list of Islamic dates. Pick the tab you need and read the sections in order.
