The last day of the holiday of the year. World of culture. Eid al-Fitr holiday: the essence and main traditions

One of the most important holidays of the Islamic calendar is Eid al-Fitr, also known as Eid al-Fitr - the holiday of breaking the fast. It comes after the end of the holy month of Ramadan and is celebrated for three days. According to the Gregorian calendar, Eid al-Fitr in 2016 will take place on July 11, because the month of Ramadan ends on the 10th. Although other sources claim that the holiday will begin on July 7.

When is Eid al-Adha celebrated?

Ramadan is respected by all adherents of Islam. The tradition of celebration has been going on since 624 (Gregorian calendar) and dates back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad. It is believed that it was in this month that the first verses of the Koran were given to him, therefore for all Muslims of the world, Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims believe that during Ramadan the gates of heaven are opened, and the gates of hell are closed, and the shaitan demons are chained so as not to harm the believers.

Since Eid al-Fitr refers to “moving” holidays and is appointed in accordance with the Muslim lunar calendar. According to some sources, the celebration of Eid al-Fitr in 2016 will begin on July 6, according to others - on July 8, and according to others - on July 11. Closer to the holiday, the date will be officially announced. Since it is impossible to work on Eid al-Fitr, in almost all Islamic countries (as well as in several republics that are part of the Russian Federation) it is a day off.

Strict fasting and preparation for the holiday

For 30 days, Muslims adhere to a strict fast and abstain from food, drink and marital relations during the daytime. Every day of fasting, after sunset, “iftar” - or evening breaking of the fast - begins. It should be spent with family, relatives and friends. The second permitted meal is in the morning before dawn and is called “suhoor”.

Fasting for every Muslim, first of all, means the opportunity for spiritual growth, when one should pacify carnal passions, think about the soul, strive for piety, do good deeds and help those in need. It is important to free your soul from grievances, so during the month of Ramadan you should visit all your friends and relatives and ask them for forgiveness for the grievances caused, voluntarily or unwittingly. The holiday should be celebrated in complete peace and harmony.

Old people, pregnant and lactating women, physically ill and mentally ill people are exempt from fasting. Travelers are also allowed not to observe it to the fullest extent, but a fast not fulfilled for a good reason should be observed at another time. If you cannot fulfill it, you can “compensate” for the fast by feeding the poor. Breaking the fast without a good reason is considered a great sin.

The holiday of breaking the fast occurs on the first day of the new month of Shawwal. For three days, all Muslim government institutions, shops and schools are closed, because absolutely all Muslims must celebrate Eid al-Adha. Four days before the holiday, women carry out general cleaning of the house and household premises, clean the barn, and wash the livestock.


Postcard for Eid al-Adha: “Eid Mubarak!” (“Have a blessed holiday!”)

After finishing the cleaning, all family members must bathe, clean themselves up and put on clean underwear. In the evening, before the holiday, housewives prepare traditional dishes. Children bring them to their relatives - it is necessary to exchange treats with all relatives and friends. On the eve of the holiday, Muslims buy gifts for each other and decorate their homes.

Celebrating Eid al-Adha

On a holiday, it is customary to get up very early and dress up in the most beautiful clothes. Then Muslims all over the world, having performed ablution, rush to the mosque for collective prayer. An hour before sunrise, the festive “gayet-namaz” begins in mosques. In most countries, only men are present at prayer. - women prepare food at home at this time. When meeting, everyone greets each other with a special ritual phrase: “Eid Mubarak!” (“Have a blessed holiday!”).

Also very popular are the wishes: “May Allah send His mercy to you and to us!”, “May Allah accept our and your prayers!” When men come from the mosque, the housewives put festive dishes on the table. Every house awaits the arrival of guests; It is also customary to go on a visit, visit relatives, friends and even neighbors, and bring sweets as gifts. On Eid al-Fitr, Muslims need to have fun all three days, eating abundant food and drink.

Food and customs on Eid al-Adha

The main product from which most festive dishes are prepared for Eid al-Adha is lamb. It is used to make rich soups, roasts, pilaf, kebabs, snacks and even meat salads. The festive table of every Muslim country depends on folk traditions. For example, in Tatarstan they bake pancakes, and pies are always present on the festive table. In the republics of Central Asia, pilaf with lamb is an integral dish.


Collective prayer for Eid al-Adha

In Saudi Arabia, in the morning they eat only oriental sweets, dates and fresh fruits. But at noon you need to eat plentifully and variedly so that the table is not empty next year. In Kyrgyzstan, every Muslim must visit seven houses, taste all the prepared dishes and read prayers in each house for the well-being of the owners.

In Turkey, on the holiday, they also first feast on sweets, and later start the main meal. All day long, the youngest Turks visit all their older relatives and bring them sweets as gifts. In addition, there are certain rules for eating holiday food:

  • Before starting a meal, Muslims say: “In the name of Allah, the merciful and merciful” or “O Allah, bless this food and save us from hell.” And after finishing the meal, they say: “Thanks be to Allah, who sent us food and drink and made us Muslims.”
  • You should always wash your hands before and after eating. Unlike Western countries, in Islamic countries they wash their hands without getting up - over a basin. And the host’s children pour water out of the jug for the guests - this is a special honor.
  • According to Muslim traditions, the host is the first to start the meal and the last to finish.
  • You should take food with your hands, but not with two fingers. You can use a spoon or fork. The cutlery should be held in the right hand.
  • As soon as bread (or flatbread) appears on the table, they begin to eat it slowly, without waiting for the dish to be served. You cannot cut bread with a knife, so you break it off piece by piece with your hands.
  • In some Islamic countries, it is customary for several people to eat from the same plate at once. Everyone takes food from the side closest to themselves, and not from the middle of the dish. But when a tray or bowl of sweets, nuts and fruits is served, guests and hosts can choose any of them.
  • Before starting tea drinking, you should say: “In the name of Allah,” and at the end: “Glory to Allah.”
  • The drinking vessel (cup, bowl, glass) must be held with the right hand. Water or soft drink should be drunk slowly and in small sips. Do not drink directly from a bottle or jug.
  • It is not customary to cool very hot tea or coffee, stir it with a spoon, or blow on it. You need to calmly wait until it cools down on its own.

An extremely important requirement of the holiday is the following ritual: on this day, Muslims give all the poor and beggars a mandatory donation, which is called “zakat ul-fitr.” You should also definitely visit your parents, elderly and sick relatives and friends. It is necessary to visit cemeteries, remembering the dead, and read passages from the Holy Quran over the graves and ask the Almighty to ease their fate.

At the end of the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims are preparing to celebrate an important holiday in the history of Islam. The holiday was established by the Prophet Muhammad himself, and falls on the first day of the month of Lent.

Eid al-Fitr in 2016 will be celebrated on July 11. This date is explained by the fact that the end of Ramadan falls on the 10th.

Somewhere this holiday is called the Feast of Breaking the Fast. During such a holiday, it is necessary to do good deeds, help family and friends, and provide assistance to those in need.

According to the traditions of the holiday, before celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Muslims put their house in order. The same actions are carried out with all animals: cleaned, washed, put in the stable. They start doing everything in advance, 4 days before the holiday.

In order for the holiday to take place in accordance with all traditions, Muslims buy food and necessary utensils. The home is being updated and decorated. They put on new clothes, cover the tables with new tablecloths, and, if possible, purchase new furniture. Alms are collected in advance so that people in need can also celebrate.

Muslims should try to atone, ask for forgiveness from those who were offended, visit friends, relatives and acquaintances to resolve all conflicts and disputes. Eid al-Fitr must be celebrated with bright thoughts and a pure heart.

Muslim women prepare the most delicious traditional dishes, the children serve and treat all the neighbors. This is necessary so that, as they say: “so that the house smells of food.”

All Muslims try to adhere to all customs and traditions associated with this holiday. It is necessary to rise with the Sun, take a bath, and put on festive clothes. But one of the main rules that should not be forgotten is that you need to be friendly with everyone. During the meeting, believers greet each other with the words: “May Allah send His mercy to both you and us,” and the other person replies: “May Allah accept our and your prayers.” Prayer is preceded by eating sweets. On holidays, a husband should pay a lot of attention to his beloved wife. This attention should also extend to children and other loved ones. During the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, you need to receive many guests in the house or go to visit yourself.

On such a day, people who have died are not forgotten. They come to their graves, but not to mourn, because such a holiday is considered cheerful for both the living and the dead.

Eid al-Fitr lasts three days. The tables in every Muslim home should be overflowing with delicacies. Traditional oriental dishes consist of lamb, bread, almonds, and figs. They also don’t forget about various salads and broths.

The celebration is not long, but memorable and fun. At this time, various fairs are held and concerts are organized. According to the old belief, how you spend these days of Eid al-Fitr will be like this for a year. For this reason, Muslims prepare so carefully for this great holiday and celebrate it with all their hearts.

Today, Russian Muslims celebrated one of the most important holidays in Islam, Eid al-Adha - the day of breaking the fast to mark the end of Ramadan.

Today, the fifth of July, all followers of Islam celebrate one of the brightest religious holidays of the year - Eid al-Adha, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. For Muslims, this holiday is practically an analogy to Orthodox Easter. On this day, believers celebrate breaking the fast, pray and rejoice. During the month-long cycle of Ramadan, Muslims were forbidden to eat or drink until sunset, which was virtually the entire day. Moreover, all adult Muslims must adhere to such a strict fast.

Mass religious events took place in Moscow on this day. Tens of thousands of believers howled in the streets and gathered in mosques. And Vladimir Putin personally congratulated all Russian Muslims on this bright holiday, once again proving that in Russia there is no division of society on a religious basis.

According to the latest data, about two hundred thousand Muslims took part in the festive events in the capital. As you know, the central event of Uraz is the sermon. To preach, believers gather in mosques, kneel and pray. However, there were so many applicants in Moscow that not all of them ended up in the mosques. Therefore, according to the tradition that had developed over the years, believers laid out rugs directly on the asphalt, turned towards Mecca, and prayed in the streets.

Eid al-Adha 2016: date, traditions of the holiday, addresses where you can perform namaz

Muslims are preparing to celebrate one of the most important Islamic holidays - Eid al-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr, the holiday of breaking the fast), which, in accordance with the lunar calendar in 2016, falls on July 5. Eid al-Adha comes immediately after the end of the holy month of Ramadan and is celebrated for three days.

Eid al-Adha dates back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Believers believe that it was on this day that the first verses of the Koran were given to the prophet and that it was on this day that the gates of heaven are thrown open, and the gates of hell, on the contrary, are tightly locked and demons are chained so that they do not harm or interfere. It is a sin to work on the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, therefore in almost all Islamic countries this day is declared a day off, and shops, schools and government institutions are closed, since all Muslims, without exception, must celebrate the holiday.

How to prepare for the holiday

Throughout the month of Ramadan, Muslims observe strict fasting and abstain from food, water and marital relations during the daytime. You can eat food twice a day. For the first time after sunset, you should definitely eat with your family. Muslims call this meal “iftar” (evening breaking of the fast). The second time - before sunrise. This meal is called "suhoor". During fasting, you need to completely cleanse your soul, free yourself from envy and resentment, visit relatives and close friends, ask them for forgiveness if you have ever inadvertently offended someone. Faith says that Eid al-Fitr should be celebrated in peace and harmony. Children, old people, the sick, and travelers are exempt from fasting during Ramadan. And if suddenly someone, for various reasons, is unable to fulfill the fast, then this offense can be corrected by feeding the poor. Failure to fast without good reason is considered a great sin.

According to tradition, a few days before Eid al-Fitr, women do a general cleaning of the house - they wash everything until it shines: this holiday is usually celebrated in perfect cleanliness, so on the eve all believers wash and put on everything clean. For the holiday of breaking the fast, it is customary to decorate the home and exchange traditional Muslim treats with relatives. Usually before the holiday, children visit their loved ones, give gifts and exchange food.

Eid al-Adha: prayer, food, customs

On the day when the holiday begins, Muslims dress up in the most beautiful clothes, and, after performing ablution, go to the mosque for collective prayer. About an hour before sunrise, the festive “gayet-namaz” begins in mosques, in which men take part (women are busy preparing the festive table at this time). When meeting each other, believers say a special ritual phrase: “Eid Mubarak!” (that is, the Blessed Holiday). After returning from the mosque, breaking the fast itself begins - Muslims eat and drink a lot and deliciously, go to visit and treat each other.

Festive treats for Eid al-Adha

Many fresh lamb dishes are usually prepared for the festive table. These include thick soups, crumbly pilaf, tender shish kebab, aromatic roast and much more that is customary to cook on Eid al-Fitr in one Muslim country or another. In Tatarstan they bake pancakes and pies, in Uzbekistan they always make pilaf with lamb, in Saudi Arabia there are fruits, dates and oriental sweets on the table. When celebrating Eid al-Fitr, you need to eat to your heart’s content so that next year there will be prosperity in the family and abundance on the table.

The owner of the house always starts the festive meal, and he also finishes it.

On the holiday of Eid al-Adha, it is customary for Muslims to give gifts to all the poor and beggars with a mandatory donation - “zakat ul-fitr”, to visit relatives and friends, as well as to visit cemeteries and remember the dead. To do this, excerpts from the Holy Quran are read over the graves and they ask the Almighty to ease the fate of those who have passed on to another world.

Places for prayer in Moscow and the Moscow region

On the eve of the holiday, it became known that the Moscow government had allocated three additional sites for holding holiday prayers in honor of the Eid al-Adha holiday. In addition to traditional places - city mosques, it will be possible to perform namaz near the sports and recreational complex "Izumrudny" (Yuzhnobutovskaya St., 96, South-Western Administrative District), the building of the Southern River Station (Andropova Ave., building 11, building 2, Southern Administrative District) , in pavilion No. 2 of Sokolniki Park (5th Luchevoy Prosek, 7a, building 1, VAO).

A total of 37 sites for performing namaz have been organized in the Moscow region. This was done specifically so that believers do not travel to the capital, but can safely spend the holiday in their places of residence.

It is known that in order to ensure safety and order, entry into the areas where holiday services will be held will be through metal detectors. Also, all event participants must have identification documents with them - they may be asked to present by law enforcement officers.

(Arabic: Eid al-Fitr) - the holiday of breaking the fast, marks the end of fasting in the month of Ramadan. It is one of the two great holidays in Islam. Celebrated for three days. It begins in the evening of the 30th day of the month of Ramadan, when, according to the Muslim calendar (Hijri), the 1st day of the next month begins - Shawwal.

In 2016, the holiday begins on July 5th.

Eid al-Fitr is one of the most significant religious holidays for every Muslim. It is directly related to the ideas of spiritual improvement and good deeds. It is customary to celebrate this holiday with good deeds, showing concern for others and compassion for those in need.

Four days before the holiday, they begin to thoroughly clean the house, courtyards, barns, and clean the livestock. Before the holiday, people try to buy food and gifts, decorate and renovate their homes. New curtains, bedspreads for furniture, and festive clothes are purchased. Money for alms is also collected in advance, so that the poor, having received this money, can also prepare for the celebration.

Before the holiday, you need to forgive each other for grievances, try to visit your relatives and friends, asking for their forgiveness.

In the evening, the housewives prepare traditional oriental dishes. Children deliver them to relatives, and there is a mutual exchange of treats. This custom is called “so that the house smells of food.”

On the day of the holiday, it is considered good to get up early, take a bath, dress neatly and smartly, use incense, and be friendly to everyone. On this day, Muslims greet each other with the following words: “May Allah send His mercy to you and to us!”, “May Allah accept our and your prayers!” It is advisable to eat an odd number of dates or something sweet on the day of the holiday before reading the holiday prayer.

On this day, Muslims perform a holiday prayer - Id-namaz, and on the eve they pay the obligatory alms for breaking the fast - zakat al-fitra (it can either be given to the needy or donated to the mosque).

The start time of the holiday prayer occurs when the sun rises above the horizon by approximately 3 meters (30 minutes after sunrise). The end of the time allotted for this prayer is the moment when the sun is at its zenith.

Eid prayer can be done at home, but men should perform it in the mosque with other believers.

On these holidays, special generosity and attention of the head of the family to his wife, children and relatives are encouraged. On this day it is customary to visit relatives and friends, as well as receive guests at home. It is also customary to ask each other for forgiveness and visit the graves of their deceased loved ones, reading suras from the Koran and asking Allah to ease their fate.

In most Muslim countries, the day of Eid al-Adha is considered a day off and work is prohibited on this day.

Islam is one of the three world religions. Since many Russians profess this particular religion, the celebration of Muslim holidays in one way or another affects all segments of the population. Of course, every Muslim living in Moscow or Novosibirsk, in Crimea or Bashkortostan, in Tatarstan or Chechnya is preparing for the most important day of Eid al-Fitr in 2016. In addition to traditional dishes, people prepare unforgettable congratulations in prose and poetry. True, as in past years, it was unclear for a long time what date this joyful event began in Dagestan.

Eid al-Fitr in 2016 in Russia

All Muslims will soon celebrate Eid al-Adha in 2016 in Russia. This is the holiday of breaking the fast. On this day, fasting is prohibited; on the contrary, you need to delight your body and soul by eating food and a variety of drinks. It is also impossible to work on this day, which is why Eid al-Fitr is a day off this year for Muslims in Crimea, Tatarstan and a number of other Muslim republics.

The history of celebrating the great day of Eid al-Adha in the modern world, and in the current year 2016 in Russia, is becoming a thing of the past. It is associated with the legend and Allah's revelation of the first verses of the Koran. The total duration of the holiday is 3 days. However, there is no specific date for the celebration. It shifts every year according to the lunar calendar adopted in the Muslim world. After all, the Muslim calendar does not coincide with the generally accepted Gregorian calendar.

Eid al-Fitr in 2016, the Islamic calendar recommends starting on July 5, then prayers will begin in mosques at 6:30 a.m. Moscow time. It remains questionable what date Eid al-Fitr will begin in Dagestan in 2016, since there is a tradition in different regions of the republic to celebrate on different days. For example, Ramadan in this republic began on June 7, and in other Muslim republics of southern Russia - on June 6.

Before collective prayer, Muslims precede Eid al-Fitr in Moscow with a special donation called zakat ul-fitr, which is given to needy and sick people the day before. It is believed that the minimum donation amount can be 100 rubles.

To prevent Eid al-Fitr from being overshadowed by unrest, the authorities in Moscow have taken measures to ensure the safety of those celebrating. It will be possible to enter the prayer place only through a metal detector and upon presentation of documents.

When does Eid al-Fitr begin in 2016 in Crimea

In addition, it is a symbol of unity and involvement of everyone with fellow believers.

In all other parts of the country: in St. Petersburg and Tver, in Moscow, in Tatarstan, in Crimea and in Bashkortostan - July 5 will be a holiday. People will give congratulations in prose and poetry, attend prayers, give gifts to the poor and treat loved ones with dishes the recipes of which were inherited from their great-grandmothers.
