Eid ul Fitr 2009 Sadqatul-Fitr & Sunnah of Eid
Eid ul Fitr or the ‘festival of fast breaking’ is most celebratory of all Muslim festivals. The term ‘Eid’ has been derived from the Arabic word ‘oud’, which means ‘the return’ and signifies the return of the festival each year.
The festival is significant as much for its timing, as for its religious implications. It is celebrated after the fasting month of Ramzan (the ninth month of the Muslim year), on the first day of the Shavval month of the Hijri year (Muslim year). Quran was revealved on Prophet Mohammed (SAW) during the holy month of Ramadan.
