There are two essential Muslim gala's — Eid and Bakr-Eid. Eid is additionally recognised by way of its Arabic identify Eid-ul-Fitr. 

Eid Types

There are two Eids in a lunar year: Eid al-Fitr on Shawwal 1st (i.e. 01/10 in DD/MM notation) and Eid al-Adha on Dhu al-Hijjah tenth (i.e. 10/12). Eid is a festival, a festivity: the first one is the get together of Ramadan (month of fast) ending (Ramadan is the ninth month, proper earlier than Shawwal), whilst the 2nd one is the pageant of sacrifice, remembering Abraham and his son and at the identical time, celebrating the Hajj pilgrimage.

Now, about that repetition: in each lunar year, these two are fixed, separated by way of two months and ten days (months of Shawwal and Dhu'l-Qa'dah and 10 days of Dhu al-Hijjah). However, the lunar yr (355 days) is 10 days shorter than the photo voltaic 12 months (365 days) so the dates from a lunar yr crawl thru your daily photo voltaic calendar 10 days per yr in the direction of the beginning. If this year’s Eid used to be September 12th, subsequent 12 months the identical Eid will be on September 2nd (give or take a day due to the fact of astronomic reasons).

This will, for instance, end result in an fascinating state of affairs in 2039: There will be three Eids in the identical photo voltaic year, two Eid al-Adhas and one Eid al-Fitr.
