The origin of Eid al-Fitr

1. According to Islamic classics, before preaching, the Prophet Muhammad went to the Sheila Mountain stream near Mecca to meditate and pray every month in Ramadan. During Ramadan in 6 10, the prophet was suddenly inspired by Allah when he was meditating and praying, and ordered him to be the "messenger" to pass on the teachings of Allah. Later, the prophet Muhammad designated this month as the month of fasting to commemorate it. At the same time, the jurist explained, "fasting is to let the rich taste hunger and thirst, so that they don't want to be extravagant and wasteful; We should tighten our belts and save money to help the poor. "

2. After the evolution of 1400 years, Eid al-Fitr has become a traditional cultural festival of all ethnic groups who believe in Islam. On this day, Muslims not only bathe themselves, but also go to mosques to attend festivals and religious gatherings. They will also wear holiday clothes, visit relatives and friends, say "Peace to you" to each other and pray for happiness in the coming year.

According to documents, the word Eid in Arabic evolved from the word "Aada", which originally meant "return" and evolved into "gathering". Therefore, Muslims call the worship of Eid al-Fitr a "ceremony".

4. "Reward" is a religious festival etiquette determined by Prophet Muhammad before his death. According to Anasa's biography in the Hadith, after the prophet Muhammad moved to Medina, he found that people there inherited the habits of ignorance, and there were two folk festivals to worship idols, which were spectacular. Muhammad said: "When I came here, God inspired me to tell you that these two festivals will be replaced by new and better days: one is the day of sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) and the other is the end of fasting (Eid al-Fitr).
