Muslims from all parties gather together to worship, pray, remember Allah, and greet, care for and be friendly to each other. So what are the customs of Eid al Fitr? Follow Xiaobian to learn about it.

Eid al Fitr is an Islamic religious festival, which must be celebrated in an Islamic way. The theme of the activity should be remembering Allah and learning prophets. The festival is not a national cultural festival, so the Imam is not allowed to downgrade it to general, local or minority entertainment activities. The Imam explained that the purpose of national festival activities is to seek joy, holiday rest, give gifts to each other and take the opportunity to eat and drink. The theme of the festival must take the worship of Allah and the remembrance of the prophet as the core content, otherwise it is the pseudo Festival. If the purpose of faith is excluded, then pseudo ERD's day will not lead Muslims to light and justice, but to error and sin. Therefore, Muslims are firmly opposed to that kind of false ERD Festival.

Eid al Fitr is a precious day for Muslims. During the festival, every Muslim is lucky to participate in various prayer and worship activities to improve his personal character and moral cultivation and expect more grace and harvest from Allah.

Eid al Fitr is also a day for Muslims to reflect on themselves, renew themselves and be kind. Eid al Fitr should think more about the elderly, relatives and friends, widows and orphans and the poor who may be forgotten on weekdays. As Muslims pray for the grace of Allah, the first thing we should appreciate is that Allah has given people grace and given assistance to those who need spiritual and material help with their own rich conditions and alms. Through a successful Festival, individuals, families and society will raise a spiritual ladder in the shade of Allah.

Eid al Fitr is Arabic 'ERD & middot; Free translation of 'fetur'. Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang call it "Rouzi Festival." Rouzi 'is Persian, which means' fasting'. Hui Muslims in some areas of Ningxia call it 'dard'; Some Hui Muslims in Gansu, Qinghai and the eastern region also call it "Chinese New Year". Although the name of Eid al Fitr varies from place to place, it is actually a religious and cultural festival with grand scale and ceremonious rites. Its solemnity is like the Spring Festival of the Han people, and the Tibetan compatriots celebrate the Tibetan New Year. On the eve of Eid al Fitr, Muslims who work outside, do business and travel should rush home in advance to spend a beautiful festival with their families.

Eid al Fitr generally lasts three days. From dawn on the first day, every family got up early and cleaned the indoor and outdoor, courtyard and roadway toilets, giving people a clean, comfortable and pleasant feeling. Adult Hui Muslims should wash and bathe. Men, women, young and old all put on their favorite clothes, and the children washed their faces and combed their hair. Mosques, where Muslims gather, should also be renovated and cleaned before the festival. In some places, huge banners and colored lights are specially hung to celebrate Eid al Fitr. After about 8 a.m. (in some places, it is subject to the ringing of the church bell), the Muslim people bring small blankets or small worship blankets to the mosque from all directions in the southeast, northwest and northwest. In some places, because too many Muslims attended the ceremony (up to 10000 people) and the mosque could not accommodate them, they chose another flat, spacious and clean venue as the venue. When the Imam announced the beginning of the ceremony, the people spread blankets or small worship blankets, took off their shoes, and worshipped in the direction of the Kerr daytime room of the holy Mecca ancient temple to complete the divine worship.
