Muslims celebrate two festivals: Eid al-Fitr, at the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, the day of sacrifice. When the Prophet ﷺ came to Medina and found two days of games kept from the pre-Islamic period, he told the people that Allah had given them something better in their place. Each page in this section looks at a holiday kept by others: where it comes from, what its customs are tied to, and why a Muslim does not take part. It is education, written with respect for the people who celebrate.
