What it does

Today is Eid, and so I wish you all a very Eid Mubarak (Happy Eid)! We made a simple website to explain what Eid al-Adha is (second Muslim holiday of the lunar year). This website is meant to be shared with colleagues & friends as a simple way to foster understanding ☺

Muslims gather for a congregational ritual prayer and sermon in the morning, typically followed by meeting up with friends to celebrate the day through gift-giving and eating. The significance of Ramaḍān lies in the fact that it is the month in which the Qurān, Muslim’s religious text, was first revealed , making it the best time of the year. It’s a month spent…from eid.fyi
