What festival does Islam celebrate?

I. Eid al-Fitr

Eid al-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr) is a festival in which Muslims fast for one month in Ramadan (September in Islamic calendar) and successfully complete their fasting in order to celebrate their victory. It is one of the major festivals in Islam. Persian is called "Jimin Festival". The time is Islamic calendar 10 month 10

According to the Islamic Shariah, adult male and female Muslims fast 1 month every September (Ramadan, commonly known as Ramadan) in the Islamic calendar, and abstain from eating, drinking and all indecent behaviors every day from dawn to sunset, so as to introspect, temper their will, cultivate their sentiments and wash away their sins. According to the instructions of the Prophet Muhammad of Islam, "You will see the new moon fast and the new moon fast". Ramadan begins in early September in the Islamic calendar and ends in early June in the Islamic calendar 10. That is, looking for a new moon on the night of fasting for 29 days. If you see it, the next day is 65438+ 10 month 1, which is Eid al-Fitr; Otherwise, continue to fast for one day, and Eid al-Fitr will be postponed for one day. The main ceremonies of Eid al-Fitr are:

(1) Busy eating one thing;

(2) Pay the donation for fast break;

(3) hold a ceremony.

Some Muslims read the Koran at home, thanking God and praying for the safety of the whole family. Some people visited the graves and chanted prayers in memory of the dead. In addition to the above-mentioned series of ceremonies, Muslims also celebrate with songs and dances, hold banquets for relatives and friends, and give each other holiday food among neighbors.

Second, Eid al-Adha.

Eid al-Adha is one of the major Islamic festivals. Eid al-Adha is a transliteration of Arabic, which means "approaching", "offering sacrifices" and "offering sacrifices", and also means "offering sacrifices, loyalty and filial piety". Therefore, Muslims in China usually call this festival "Eid al-Adha or Loyalty and Filial Piety Day". The time is 65438+February 10, the last day of pilgrimage.

According to legend, the ancient prophet Ibrahim was "inspired" by Allah and ordered him to slaughter his son Ishma and make a sacrifice to test his loyalty to Allah. Just as Ibrahim raised his knife, Jabril's messenger came at God's command and sent a sheep instead of a sacrifice. In order to commemorate this event and thank God, the Prophet Muhammad inherited this tradition, obeyed the Lord's command, followed the example of Saint Ibrahim, and listed the sacrificial activities of Eid al-Adha as one of the lessons and rituals of pilgrimage. On this day, Muslims bathe in costumes, hold ceremonies, visit each other, slaughter cows, sheep and camels, and give each other gifts as a souvenir.

Third, sacred discipline.

Shengji is the anniversary of the birth and return to the truth of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The time is Islamic calendar March 12. According to legend, Muhammad died on March 12 in the 11th year of Islamic calendar (632), so it is also called "sacred taboo". Therefore, Muslims combine the two anniversaries of "hadith" and "sacred taboo" into one, commonly known as "holy meeting". Festival activities include chanting, praising saints and telling the life story of Muhammad. Nowadays, in China, "Holy Day", "Eid al-Fitr" and "Eid al-Adha" have evolved into three traditional festivals for Muslims of all ethnic groups.
