Eid Mubarak or (Arabic: عيد مبارك‎) is a traditional Muslim greeting reserved for use on the festivals of Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. … So Eid, meaning “celebration,” and Mubarak, meaning “Blessed” literally translates to wishing your friends a blessed holiday.

It is Eid ul-Adha and you will notice plenty of people saying and ‘Eid Mubarak’ as a result. Eid ul-Adha, which means ‘Feast of the Sarifice’ is in honour Ibrahim being willing to sacrifice his son Ishmael to show submission to Allah. As Ibrahim was about to do the deed upon Allah’s command, God replaced Ishmael with a sheep and he was saved.

The traditional greeting of ‘Eid Mubarak’ is used by Muslims during the holy festival around the world and you will undoubtedly see it being sent around social media at this time of year.

If someone says Eid Mubarak to you, it is polite to respond by saying ‘Khair Mubarak’, which wishes good will on the person who greeted you. You could also say ‘JazakAllah Khair’ which means thank you, but literally translates as ‘May Allah reward you with goodness’

Muslims usually invite each other in this Eid and eat togethe. Eid Al-Adha consists of four days.

Pronunciation. Eid is pronounced as ‘eed’ as in the word “feed”. ul is pronounced as ‘ull’ as in the word “pull”. Fitr: the “fit” can be pronounced as the English word fit (meaning lean), however the “t” is pronounced as in the word “what” and followed by a “r” pronounced in a standard manner.

Eid al–Adha (the Festival/Holiday/Feast of Sacrifice or sometimes called the greater or big Eid) is done in remembrance of Abraham’s (Ibrahim’s) willingness to sacrifice his son out of faith in Allah and Allah’s mercy on us all. As Ismail was replaced with a sheep, lamb is the traditional thing to eat on Eid al–Adha.

Vegetarian cuisine is halal if it does not contain alcohol. The most common example of non-halal (or haram) food is pork (pig meat products). While pork is the only meat that categorically may not be consumed by Muslims (the Quran forbids it Sura 16:115), other foods not in a state of purity are also considered haram.

The day of Ashura is marked by Muslims as a whole, but for Shia Muslims it is a major religious commemoration of the martyrdom at Karbala of Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. It falls on the 10th of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
