Homonym: اید (Festival)
اید (Eid) is a significant religious festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide. There are two main types of Eid: Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, and Eid al-Adha, which commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Both festivals involve special prayers, feasting, and giving to charity.
During Eid al-Fitr, families gather for communal prayers and share meals, often including sweets and traditional dishes. Eid al-Adha involves the ritual sacrifice of an animal, with the meat distributed among family, friends, and those in need. Both celebrations emphasize community, gratitude, and compassion.
