Hui Muslim customs in Ningxia
Hui is the main ethnic group of Chinese Muslims. In the eyes of Hui Muslims, the Eid al Fitr (the origin of Xiji in September) is the most noble month of auspicious celebration and peace. If you do a good deed in this month, you can get multiple rewards from Allah. Therefore, all qualified Hui Muslims must observe one month's fast. The start and end date of Ramadan depends on the date of the new moon. See the month entering Ramadan and the month breaking Ramadan. It is usually based on what the two most prestigious imams see, and then the Imam of our workshop announces fasting (or fasting). At about 4 a.m. on the day of fasting, the temple masters of mosques went to the bunk building (minaret) to read bunk or beat Bangzi. Some took pains to knock door-to-door. After hearing this, people hurried up, washed their faces, washed their hands, laikou, cooked and fasted.
Hui Muslims regard Eid al Fitr as the largest festival, so they call it 'dard'. The Turkic Uighurs and other ethnic groups in Xinjiang believe that Eid al AdhA is the largest festival. Therefore, in Xinjiang, the government stipulates that Muslims have three days off on Eid al AdhA and non muslims have one day off; According to the relevant provisions of government order No. 174 deliberated and adopted at the 28th executive meeting of the Eleventh People's Government on December 9, 2011, the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have a day off. On the day of Eid al Fitr, Hui Muslim families have to pay Eid al Fitr donations (2.4 kilograms of flour per person or converted into cash). The purpose is to 'help the poor and purify people's soul', cultivate people's virtue of helping the needy and being kind, avoid the poor among Muslims begging along the street during the festival, and share the joy of the festival with the poor.
After the solemn Eid al Fitr, the Imam will pay a solemn tribute to the Muslim Imam. All Muslims should say peace words to each other to express the festival's old wish: pray for peace, auspiciousness, wealth and harmony!
After the ceremony, the Imam will lead the families to visit the graves and pray for the dead. Then visit relatives and friends to celebrate the festival.
During the festival, Muslim families prepare traditional foods with national flavor and characteristics such as Sanzi, oil fragrance, classes and flowers. At the same time, they also slaughter sheep, chicken and rabbits, make jelly and stew, send relatives, friends and neighbors to each other, and greet each other during the festival. On the first and second days of the festival, married and unmarried sons-in-law should bring holiday gifts to their parents-in-law. Many young Muslim men and women also choose to hold weddings on Eid al Fitr, adding to the festive atmosphere.
With the development of economy, society and culture, Muslim Eid al Fitr is also adding many new contents. In addition to attending the Festival ceremony, people also participate in some healthy recreational and sports activities, such as lion dance, walking on stilts, singing flowers, performing martial arts, wrestling, playing poker, city garden, hiking and so on.
