The Five Eids - Islamic Festivals

Eid is an Arabic word which means an event which happens again and again. In Islam Eid is known as the happy festivals which occur every year. The word Eid occurs in the Holy Qur'an once in Sura Al Ma-idah verse 114: "Isa son of Maryam said: "O Allah our Lord! Send down to us from Heaven a table laid with food, that it may be a recurring happiness (Eid) for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from You, and give us sustenance, for You are the best of Providers." (5:114) The above ayat is telling us when Prophet Isa (A) asked Allah for food from Heaven because his Disciples wanted more evidence to increase their faith, and to witness a miracle, and to always celebrate the occasion with joy and satisfaction. We are lucky in that we have five Eids in the year: Eid ul Juma' Eid ul Haj Eid ul Fitr Eid e Gadheer Eid e Mubahila EID UL JUMA' Juma' is Friday and for all Muslims it is a very religious day. The Holy Prophet (S) has

The historical event of Mubahila also reveals the exalted status of the Ahlul Bayt[Family of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.)].This milestone event in Islamic history since then has assumed the signifance of Eid in the history of Islam. In the early days of Islam, Najran was a large centre of people in Yemen who had changed from idol worship to Christianity. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) had sent letters to the heads of different countries inviting them to Islam. One such letter was addressed to the Christians of Najran. It read as follows: "In the Name of the God of Ibrahim, Ishaaq and Ya'qub. This letter is from Muhammad, the Prophet and Messenger of Allah to the Asqaf (Bishop) of Najran.
