Eid al-Fitr History

The holy festival of Eid al-Fitr was originated by Prophet Muhammad, the central figure in Islam religion, who was born in the 570 C.E. (Common Era) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia to Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Amna Bint Wahb.

He is considered the founder of Islam and the final prophet of Allah in all the main branches of Islam because he formed the basis of Islamic religious beliefs from his teachings and practices.

It is said that when Prophet Hazrat Muhammad migrated to Medina from Mecca, he found people celebrating, entertaining, and feasting.

At this, he stated that the two days of festivity have already been decided by Allah, these are Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The latter is considered the bigger as it commemorates the end of the Hajj Pilgrimage with the sacrifice of an animal.
