Taken from the Book: Celebrations in Islam - Islaam teaches Muslims how to celebrate the `Eeds. On these days, the Muslims take a bath and wear their best clothes. Even though fasting is not permitted on the `Eed days, yet, the major part of the celebration is not eating or drinking - rather, it is a prayer that brings Muslims together to remember Allah's bounties and celebrate His glory and greatness. The `Eeds and their celebration in Islaam carry a distinctive meaning and spirit. They are totally different from the celebrations in other nations and cultures.
