A little bit late dudes but here's to you all. Eid Mubarak guys. Didn't touch a computer yesterday :D

Josh Eid means festival and Mubarak means blessed. After fasting for a period of 29 or 30 days depending on when the new moon is sited muslims celebrate the end of the month of fasting (Ramadan - 9th month of the Islamic calendar). This is a day full of joy when every able muslim is required to give alms to the poor (so as to enable everyone to celebrate) before holding a mass prayer together then of course the party begins :)

Torkel the difference in celebrating Eid is really a matter of citing the moon thus some countries will site it a day earlier than others.

    Miss Dubai, i think Ali (DaJuve) Summed it up pretty well...

    i dont think i'll be adding much, but here goes:

    There are only two main Muslim Holidays.

    [1] Eid Al-Fitr (this one)

    WHAT IS IT?
    Eid is a day of rejoicing that marks the end of the month of Ramadan, which is the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar. It is a celebration of month-long fasting, which is one of the five pillars, or fundamental obligations, in the religion of Islam.

    WHEN IS IT?
    Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the month of Shawwal that follows Ramadan.

    WHO CELEBRATES IT?
    Eid is celebrated by Muslims – followers of the faith of Islam. Currently the worldwide Muslim population is about 1.2 billion, with an estimated 7 to 10 million living in the United States.

    HOW IS IT CELEBRATED?
    Eid is celebrated with much enthusiasm and fervor, and Muslims from all strata of life can be seen adorned in beautiful new clothes, visiting the mosques to attend Salatul Eid (Eid prayers). Greetings of "Eid Mubarak" or "a blessed Eid" are exchanged. Of course, there are other saying depending on the culturem but they all usually mean the same thing.

    Eid celebrations include a congregational prayer and a sermon in the morning, followed by families and friends visiting each other, eating special meals, exchanging cards and gifts, and enjoying other festivities.
    Very Similar to Christmas i guess, but with no Santa Claus and Hangind socks on the chimney ;)

    WHAT IS ITS HISTORY?
    It is believed that the Qur'an was revealed during the month of Ramadan. Coming with the new moon, Eid al-Fitr is a day of joy and thanksgiving.

    On this day, Muslims show their joy for the health, strength and opportunities of life, which Allah has given them to fulfill their obligations of fasting and other good deeds during the month of Ramadan. On "Eid," there it is also obligatory for every (able) Muslim to Pay a certain amount of charity to the poor. It's called: "Takat Al-Fitr"

    ........

    [2] The second Holiday in the Muslim Calander is "Eid Al-Ad'ha" and i honestly dont feel like typing much about that....i'll explain it when that day comes :p
