How many days after Eid ul Fitr is Eid ul Adha?
Less than 70 days. It is two lunar months ( they come either as 30 or 29 days according to the birth of the crescent) plus 10 days.
Eid ul-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is celebrated approximately 70 days after Eid ul-Fitr. The exact date of Eid ul-Adha is determined by the sighting of the moon and can vary from year to year and from region to region. However, it typically falls on the 10th day of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah, which comes approximately 70 days after the end of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid ul-Fitr.
What is the difference between Eid-E-Milad-Un-Nabi, Muharram, Eid-Ul-Fitr & Eid-ul-Adha?
Actually there are only two Eids as per Islam and what Allah has revealed upon his messenger(peace be upon him), and that is Eid-Ul-Fitr and Eid-Ul-Adha. Muharram is just the first month of Islamic calendar.
Actually Eid-e-milad is not at all an eid. Some folks in Asia(Turkey), nearly 600 years after the Prophet’s death, introduced this celebration. Birthdays are not celebrated in Islam, never was it done during the Prophet’s time, nor after he passed away. People created new events like Eid-e-milad (similar to Christmas, to mark birth of Jesus) and Muharram ( just like new year). All these events have no basis in Islam and are not related to Islam in any way.
Why is Eid celebrated earlier in Gulf and Western countries as compared to India?
The timing of the months in the Islamic calendar is based on astronomical observation. A new month can only begin after a Waxing Crescent Moon is observed shortly after sunset. The Waxing Crescent Moon is the Moon phase which starts right after a New Moon. The traditional version of the Islamic calendar requires an authorized person or committee to make an actual sighting of the Crescent Moon to determine the length of each month.
This dependence on astronomical observations makes it difficult to predict the length of Islamic months. Clouds and other adverse atmospheric conditions can obscure an otherwise visible Crescent Moon. When this happens, the new month will begin a day later, at short notice. A new month may also begin on different days in different countries. Because the time of moonset at a location depends on its longitude, a new month and Ramadan fast may begin a day earlier/later in different countries.
Why do different states of India celebrate Eid on different days?
Since Ramadan or Eid is celebrated upon sighting of the new moon the new moon rises in the west and is only visible for a few minutes before setting again. This is due to the movement of the Earth.
Therefore people in Saudi Arabia which is in the west of India can see the moon before it sets and India can see it the next day.
As the moon keeps on waxing it keeps on moving to the east, hence we see the full moon rising from the East and then again it keeps waning and moving back to the west until there is no moon night. The next day the new moon appears again in the west.
I hope this clarifies your query, I am somewhat disappointed by other answers, it’s better to say I don’t know than to write all nonsense.
Why is Eid al-Fitr celebrated on different days?
At the end of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, families break the fast and celebrate during a three-day festival called Eid al-Fitr (Eid means “recurring event,” and Fitr means “break”). The festival is also known as Hari Raya Puasa in Southeast Asia and Seker Bayrami in Turkey. Greetings of “Eid-Mubarak!” (“A Blessed Eid!”) fill the air.
Although festivities include family gatherings, new clothes, and feasting, a strong focus remains on giving alms. Charity, especially to the poor and needy, is central to Islam, as represented by its inclusion in the Five Pillars of Islam (the basic tenets of the religion).
Which is correct, “Eid UL fitr” or “Eid AL Fitr”?
Both Eed-ul-Fitr and Eed-al-Fitr are correct. It is Arabic grammar.
There are three cases in Arabic:
- Nominative (Ul)
- Accusative, (Al) and
- Genitive (il).
Each one of them is marked by a vowel sound and are written accordingly with an appropriate vowel marker.
The definite article AL can therefore take any one of those forms depending upon the use of a word in a sentence.
What is right ‘Eid Ul Adha’ or ‘Eid Ul Azha’?
Both are fine.
Adha is an Arabic expression.
Azha is an Urdu expression.
There are differences of opinion among different Arabic dialects. These are unified when reciting quran and people go back to their own dialect for everyday stuff.
Why does Eid fall on a different day every year?
The difference among the Muslims with regard to determining the first day of Ramadaan and the time for Eid al-Fitr stems from the differences of opinion among the fuqaha’ concerning the well-known issue, which is whether sighting of the new moon in one country becomes binding for all other countries, or should each country have its own sighting. This also applies to determining the date for Eid al-Adha.
This is a matter that is subject to ijtihad, and each group of scholars has produced its evidence, and both groups may even quote the same text as evidence.
The view that sighting the moon in one country becomes binding for all other countries is the view of the majority of scholars, and was the view favored by Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him), as is stated in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (15/77).
The view that there may be differences in sighting between different countries is the more correct view according to the Shaafa’is and was the view favored by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah and by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen among contemporary scholars.
