The Eid Moon and Chaand Raat

Eid Moon and Chaand Raat is a Muslim Festival, in order for you to celebrate this important Muslim Festival, you will need to understand its significance and how other Muslims celebrate it.

Chaand Raat is the eve of Eid Moon or the night of the sighting of the new moon. This is a festival that is celebrated in most Muslim countries. However, because the Islamic month is based on the first sighting of the lunar crescent, the month of Ramadan varies in either 29 or 30 days. Some Muslims in South Asia do not celebrate Eid Moon and Chaand Raat because of its relation to Eid ul-Fitr. They will however celebrate Eid ul-Fitr but not the Edi Moon or Chaand Raat.

Chaand Raat is the eve of the Muslim festival where most of Muslims believe that the new moon is commonly sighted in this night. This is a festive celebration where gift giving happens, people wear their best dresses and women even use mehndi to beautify themselves.

The streets are likewise decorated in a festive mood. Chaand Raat is comparable to Christmas or New Year. Muslim parents try hard to make Eid as exciting for the children like Christmas or other western festivities. This is to ensure that their children will not lose the excitement of celebrating Eid.

Young Muslims observe Christian children celebrating Christmas, this may lead to them loosing interest in Eid and thus their parent wants them to be excited with Eid thus gifts and new clothes are given to children during Eid.

Eid including Chaand Raat or the Eid Moon celebration is likewise a ritual for Muslims. The celebration involves festive food, festive dresses, gift giving and giving money to the poor.

Muslim women prepare for the Eid, including Eid Moon and Chaand Raat many days before this day by preparing their Eid dresses. They also plan their Mehndi tattoo to beautify themselves on this important Muslims Festival.

After a short khutba, Muslims will recite a prayer for forgiveness, mercy and help for the plight of Muslims all over the world. After this, Muslims will hug and greet one another saying "Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minjum" which if translated in English is "May Allah accept the fast and worship from us and from you".

Another greeting during the Eid is "Eid Mubarak," which means "Blessed Eid" or '*d sa '+d, which means "Happy Eid".

After hugging and greetings, Muslims will eat their festive food and when possible give money to the poor. Muslims also take Eid as the time to visit relatives and friends.

The Celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr

Eid-ul-Fitr

Eid-ul Fitr, commonly known as Eid, marks the end of the auspicious month of Ramadan for all Muslims across the globe. Eid-ul Fitr is an Arabic word. Eid means a festival or festivity, while fitr indicates the end of all vicious and corrupt habits and the breaking of the fasting duration. This holy festival is celebrated after the new crescent is sighted on the previous evening, usually after twenty-nine or thirty fasts.

On this blessed day, Muslims customarily wake up early in the morning and have breakfast. This is a sign that fasting has ended on that day. Commonly, it consists of vermicelli's or dates. All Muslim men then attend a special Eid prayer (salah) that is performed in congregation at mosques, and in open spaces such as fields and parks. Muslims are emboldened to wear their best clothes, preferably new when attending the prayer. No Adhaan or "call to prayer" is announced. The virtuous prayer consists of two rakaats. The Eid prayer is followed by a Khutba and then a dua (litany) to ask for forgiveness for all our sins and a plea to Allah Almighty for acceptance of all fasts kept. The sermon also teaches Muslims about the rituals of Eid such as Zakaat. It is then compulsory for everyone to greet each other and embrace them. Muslim women, on the other hand, perform the Eid prayer at their respective homes.

After salaah, people visit the houses of their friends and relatives and give small gifts to each other. Some people also pay visits to graveyards to remember their loved ones and clear the graves of over-growth. Many other customs also form part of Eid, such as Fitrana. Every Muslim able to pay these alms must do so for the month of Ramadan. It consists of about two kilograms of basic foodstuffs such as raisins, barley, sugar, milk, dates, wheat etc, or an equivalent amount of cash. This is given to poor and needy Muslim brothers before the Eid prayer. It can also be given in the month of Ramadan so the person receiving the aid can use it for Eid purchases.

Besides the religious aspects, Eid is a very cheerful occasion for all Muslims as it represents personal jubilance, a victory over self-control and chastity, illustrating salvation and rejuvenation. The first three days of Eid are celebrated on a grand scale. Dinners and parties are held, gifts are exchanged and people dress exuberantly.

It is also a time to forget past enmity or fights and forgive everyone, thus accepting them with an open heart.

Eid Al-Adha - Commemorating A Rite of Faith

Regarded as one of the holiest places on Earth, Makkah is literally visited by thousands upon thousands of Islamic faithfuls who believe in the teachings of the great prophet Mohammad. Muslims believe that every person who can afford a trip to Makkah should make the journey at least once in their lifetime to pay homage to their creator and honor the teachings of Islam. It is no secret however, that at least a few people die each year on the way to Makkah simply due to the place being overcrowded at the height of the season. As tradition demands that making this trip is of paramount importance, believers of the faith take this risk as a part of life and consider it a blessing to spend their final moments in these holy grounds.

Eid al-Adha is a much-awaited religious festival for Islamic believers worldwide. This event also known as the Festival of Sacrifice is celebrated by Muslims all around the world every year. The story behind this festival is one which is familiar to both Christian and Islamic believers. It is the story of Abraham who is said to have heard the voice of God (Allah) command him to sacrifice his son to show his devotion to God. Although he was saddened by the thought of sacrificing his own flesh and blood, Abraham was determined to show his faith towards his God and was prepared to go ahead.

At the last minute however God, knowing that Abraham was prepared to carry out his orders had commanded him to spare the boy and sacrifice a lamb in his place as an offering. Delighted, Abraham had done so and was able to win the confidence of God and keep his son as well. Even today, Muslims around the world sacrifice various domesticated animals such as goats, camels, cows and sheep to symbolize this traditional practice of religious sacrifice. Every year, the end of Hajj marks the arrival of the Eid al-Adha Festival, which is to be celebrated mid-November of 2010. This festive season also encourages you to spend extra time with family and friends and is a time to reconnect and share as well.
