History of Eid ul Fitr
Before the arrival of Islam, people in Arab country talk about Eid festival as yawn al-sabasab and yawn al-sab’. The Israelite's also celebrate festivals but mainly the celebration of historical days.
As per History of Eid-ul-Fitr - the festival was first originated by the last prophet of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The day was and still is being observed on the first of month of Shawwal, after the end of holy month of Ramadan, in which Muslims undergo fasting for a period of one month.
According to the hadith, Eid was instigated in Madina. The Prophet told the people that the Almighty God has set two days of holidays of festivities for you, Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha.
Eid-ul-fitr and Eid-ul-adha are auspicious events of showing thankfulness to Almighty God. It is also a means of amusement and merriment.
