4. Eid – an occasion of great joy and festivity.
• The Arabic word Eid refers to something that returns and
is repeated, and hence, refers to a recurrent event.
• The Two Eids: When the Prophet came to Madeenah,
he found that they had two days on which they used to
celebrate from the time of ignorance (i.e. before Islam). He
said, “Allah has given you two days better than these, the
day of al-Fitr and the day of al-Adha.” (Abu Dawud 1134;
classed as saheeh by Al-Albani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah 2021)
• The two festivals are days of rejoicing, and for
remembering and thanking Allah for bestowing His
infinite bounty and mercy upon us.
• Eid Al-Fitr (Fitr literally means breaking the fast) happens
on the 1st day of Shawwal (the day right after the month of
Ramadan is over).
• Eid Al-Adha happens on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah.

Al Huda Sisters are a group of dedicated Muslim
women committed to providing authentic, insightful,
and enlightening Islamic education for the Muslim
and non-Muslim women and girls of our community.
We are a non-profit organization with members from
various backgrounds and cultures coming together
under the banner of (Laa ilaaha illallaah).
To many of us, Al Huda has become our second home:
a place where we not only bond with our sisters for
the sake of Allah, but also nourish our hearts and
souls in the hope of coming closer to our Lord.
