Ramadan--the ninth month in the
Islamic calendar when Muslims fast
from dawn to dusk and engage in
the spiritual reflection of God--is
one of the most easily identifiable
aspects of the religion. Fasting,
which is typically the avoidance of
food and/or drink, is part of most
world religions. But fasting in
Ramadan is a special part of the
Islamic faith, one of its five pillars,
and a time when rewards for
fasting and worship are bountiful.

Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr (Arabic: d al-Fir, IPA: [id al fitr], "festival of
breaking of the fast"), also called Feast of Breaking the Fast, the Sugar
Feast, Bayram (Bajram), the Sweet Festival[2] and the Lesser Eid, is an
important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that
marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm).
The religious Eid is a single day during which Muslims are not
permitted to fast. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30
days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan.
The day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month of
Shawwal. This is a day when Muslims around the world show a
common goal of unity. The date for the start of any lunar Hijri month
varies based on the observation of new moon by local religious
authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality. However,
in most countries, it is generally celebrated on the same day as Saudi
Arabia.
Eid al-Fitr has a particular Salat (Islamic prayer) consisting of two
Rakats (units) and generally offered in an open field or large hall. [3] It
may be performed only in congregation (Jamaat) and, has an
additional extra six Takbirs (raising of the hands to the ears while
saying "Allhu Akbar", literally "God is greatest"), three of them in the
beginning of the first raka'ah and three of them just before Ruku' in the
second raka'ah in the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam. [4] Other Sunni
schools usually have twelve Takbirs, seven in the first, and five at the
beginning of the second raka'ah. This Eid al-Fitr salat is, depending on
which juristic opinion is followed, Fard (obligatory), Mustahabb
(strongly recommended, just short of obligatory) or mandoob
(preferable).
Muslims believe that they are commanded by Allah, as mentioned in
the Quran, to continue their fast until the last day of Ramadan [5] and
pay the Zakat and fitra before offering the Eid prayers.
Waqf Al Arafa Hajj
The Day of Arafah (Arabic: ) is an Islamic Holy Day, in which the
verse of the Qur'an was revealed which explained that is said that the
religion had been perfected. The Day falls on the 9th day of Dhul Hijja (
) of the lunar Islamic Calendar. This happens to be approximately
70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan. It is the second day of
the Hajj pilgrimage and the day after is the first day of the major
Islamic Holiday of Eid ul-Adha. At dawn of this day, Muslim pilgrims will
make their way from Mina to a nearby hillside and plain called Mount
Arafat and the Plain of `Arafah. It was from this site that Muhammad
gave his famous Farewell Sermon in his final year of life.
There are numerous virtues claimed for the 9th of Dhu l-Hijjah which is
known as yawm al-Arafah. This is the day where the pilgrims assemble
Oh Allah, I ask You by Your mercy which envelopes all things, that You
forgive me.
