Happy Eid - Eid Mobarak

[Poetess]

Happy Eid to everyone.
Eid mobarak Nightshades, Miss T., miss dreams, and the girl from Libya.

So, tomorrow, Saturday, early in the morning, the Granny visit will take the rank!
Then i`ll go out with my friends..

What are you guys going to do?

[Virgil]

I want to wish all my Islamic friends a happy holiday. I apologize for ignorance of the Islam. I don't know what the holiday celebrates or entails. But enjoy the day or days and the time with your family. :)

[Madhuri]

EID MUBARAK!!

Have lots of fun!!!! :)

[Pendragon]

A blessed EID to all of my Muslim friends as well. Many wished me holiday greetings and shall I not return the favor in kind? May Allah smile upon you always.

[zanna]

Happy Eid, everyone! I will have to tell my friends in Iraq the same thing . . . Thanks for the reminder! I should find a calendar w. their holidays, too.

[Poetess]

Thank you all, this day isn`t only a bless upon Muslims.. All of us.
Adha mobarak again.

(The name of this Eid is Adha)

[Nightshade]

or 'the big Eid' not that I wont be working....
So yes eid said and eid mobarak eat lots of Ka'ak and lamb/sheep and make sure you tap all your family for 3eidiah.


Ive never hear anyone udhuh mobraka before... anyway haj moqbil to all the people who went I missed it one television this year:( I always love d to watch them when I was little with duas and the labayah allhum labayaks it really makes you feel part of somthing enormous and amazing....

[Poetess]

I just knew it`s not only for Muslims :^)
My Durzi friend called me, and he said they also celebrate it.
Moreover, it`s the only Eid they celebrate.

Eid-ul-Azha or Eid-ul-Adha is the word used for Big Eid which is celebrated for three days. On the other hand, Eid-ul-Fitr is for Short Eid. :)

Even though, Eid-ul-Fitr is for only one day but I enjoy it the most - no smell of blood in the surrounding.

[Nightshade]

I know that sweetie I just was comentting on the term adha mobark, it literally means may your sacrifice be blessed( with joy etc). Just never heard it before...

Durzi???:confused:

Oh okay, sorry I missed the actual meaning. I am a way to sleepy at the moment.

Though I haven't heard "adha mubarak" as well, I think that "adha mubarak" can be used because "adha" is the name of Eid and "adha mubarak" means "Eid Mubarak". :)

[EAP]

I hope all of you stuff yourself on some prime camel/goat/cow/lamb rib tommorow.

Cheers.

[Koa]

Well, I didn't even know that Muslims had a holiday this time of year anyway...
And I thought eid was the end of Ramadan because that's the time when I heard this word (when there was that big traffic jam for 3 days because all the Muslims were going to that particular area of the city for that...Nighty knows what I'm talking about). So there are many eid's? And why? I need a lesson...

[Nightshade]

There are2 eids one after ramadan ( sort of like easter at the end of lent. And one now which is the tenth day of dul hijah the month when people go off on haj/pilgramige. Basically one of the things to do with it is tHat abraham was willing to sacrifice his son for God but then at the last minute God said he could sacrifice a sheep instead and so we all sacrifice sheep ( or cows/goats/camels depending on how rich you are). Its alot more complicated than that but That is the simplified version.

Its alot more complicated than that but That is the simplified version.

And there is Eid Mailad-un-Nabi as well which is on the birth date of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). Actually Eid is a word which means khushi or a "happy occasion". So we can use it in many ways but as far as Islam goes, I think that there are two Eids as Night has already mentioned. :)

[Nightshade]

no eid meanst festival and Eid el molid or eid milad el nabi is NOT a proper eid.

[Virgil]

What does Eid mean specifically? Does it tranlsate to english?

[Poetess]

Eid-ul-Azha or Eid-ul-Adha is the word used for Big Eid which is celebrated for three days. On the other hand, Eid-ul-Fitr is for Short Eid. :)

Even though, Eid-ul-Fitr is for only one day but I enjoy it the most - no smell of blood in the surrounding.

Eid El Fitr is for three days
And Eid El Adha is for four days.
maybe theyr differ from a country to another? I don`t really think so!?

[Poetess]

Eid is Feast, Fiesta, Bairam, festivity
Those are the meaning I could find.
Just count it on Feast perfectly.

[Poetess]

How do you mean "not a proper Eid" ?

[Pensive]

Yeah. I either don't get it, Night.

[Poetess]

I know that sweetie I just was comentting on the term adha mobark, it literally means may your sacrifice be blessed( with joy etc). Just never heard it before...

Durzi???:confused:



Lebanon has alot of religious sects.
Just like Islam has Sunnas and Shi`ites, Christianity has Catholic, Orthodox....etc.

Durzi is a religious state.
They claim being like Muslims, though they have another holy book for them.
I also know that, when a man turns the age of 40 or 41, he ONLY THEN will know his real religion, with a condition: He doesn`t tell anyone about it.
I really feel it`s complicated and it`s not a complete sense to me; however, I do respect it greatly.

So yea, Druz celebrate this day. As my Durzi friend told me, "it`s the only feast we celebrate."

[Logos]

I'm confused! :blush: :nod:

[Poetess]

About what, Logos? :D

[Poetess]

Yeah. I either don't get it, Night.

I think Night means it`s not a big feast that lasts for days, just El Fitr and El Adha.
If so, yes I second that. It`s a happy occasion we celebrate since it`s the birthday of our Prophet Mohammed, it`s only one day.

Thank you Poetess. Does it come at this time of year all the time or is it tied to a lunar calander as most of Islamic holidays seem to be?

Anyway, enjoy your holiday. :)

[Logos]

About what, Logos? :D
I was still typing my post when you posted yours which has now helped me understand a little better what eid is all about :nod:

[miss tenderness]

salam Alykum,dear sisters and brothers.


I've been away for quite along time, that's why I was a bit late to wish you a happy Eid.


How is it going up where you are?

it's freezing in here but the intimacy of the occasion makes everything wonderful:banana:

lots of love and respect for all who wished happy Eid and for all who celebrated it.

[miss tenderness]

What does Eid mean specifically? Does it tranlsate to english?

Eid Alfitr ,it's like when you say : (name of the occasion)and then Day,so Eid works like the word Day here.

[Poetess]

Thank you Poetess. Does it come at this time of year all the time or is it tied to a lunar calander as most of Islamic holidays seem to be?

Anyway, enjoy your holiday. :)

Well, Virgil, both Eid El Fitr and Eid El Ahda depend on the lunar calander.

[Nightshade]

Well about eid molid its not a proper eid becuase there are only 2 proper eid and every friday. Eid el molidad was somthing invrnted by the I cant rember who were they were now beteen the authmanieen and the abasyin built masjid el azhur? that era.


EID EL FITR is about celebrating the many blessings we have and hoping that God excepts our prays hope ect. While eid el Udha is about sacrifice and celbrating our unity and oness as a people and our willingness to give up what we count most dear if needed but at the same time celbrating that God doesnt ask that much of us really.

Sort of .

And yupts tied lunar calender which means on avarage they move 11 days forward every year. and every thirty years the days fall the same. So when Im 30 my arabic and english birthdays will be on the same day.

[Poetess]

This is a new info to me.
