What Is The Concept Of Eid?
“Both these festivals were originated by the Prophet (sws) at the behest of the Almighty. Before the advent of Islam in Arabia, we find mention of ‘id festivals as يَوْم السَّبْع (yawm al-sab‘) and يُوْم السَّبَاسَبْ (yawm al-sabasab) and as well as of some others among the Idolaters of Arabia. The shari‘ah of the Israelites had ‘id festivals as well but as is evident from the Old Testament and other scriptures, these festivals related more to commemorating certain days of their history. In the last shari‘ah also, the Almighty fixed the above mentioned two ‘id festivals for man and associated them with two great manifestations of piety and submission to the Almighty .” (Meezan) It is a way to show our gratitude to God. watch the following video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA0jKoxDj_8
