Eid

In year 5 we have been learning about Ramadan and the festival of Eid.The first Eid was celebrated in 624 CE by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) with his friends and relatives after the victory of the battle of Jang-e-Badar.Muslims are not only celebrating the end of fasting, but thanking Allah for the help and strength that he gave them throughout the previous month to help them practice self-control. Ramadan is 29 or 30 days of fasting for Muslims. Muslims over 12 have to fast for 29 or 30 days. If you are frail,sick, and pregnant women they do not have to fast but they have to give money to charity.

When you are fasting you have to wake up at 4 a.m. You can only eat from 7.45 p.m to 5 a.m. If you are dying to eat something you try to forget about it and keep yourself busy. If you eat something you have to rinse your mouth and give money to charity. When you have finished you break it by eating a date.
Muslims in most countries rely on news of an official sighting, rather than looking at the sky themselves.There are special services out of doors and in Mosques, processions through the streets, and of course, a special celebratory meal - eaten during daytime, the first daytime meal Muslims will have had in a month.After Ramadan you look for a thin crescent moon. In Eid you have to wear new clothes. When Muslims see the crescent moon they say Eid Mubarak to family and friends and throw a party.Eid is also a time of forgiveness, and making amends.
