	Eid Al-Fitr
		Even though fasting is not permitted on the `Eid days, yet, the major part of the celebration is not eating or drinking - rather, it is a prayer that brings Muslims together to remember Allah’s bounties and celebrate His Glory and Greatness.
		Each `Eid marks the conclusion of an important worship, and the determination to continue in obedience and submission to Allah (Glorified be He).
		The `Eid is a chance to multiply good deeds by bringing happiness and pleasure to the hearts of other Muslims, by helping and supporting the poor and needy, and by getting involved in pastimes that emphasize the strong and serious Islamic character.

	About Islam, Muslims and Islamic way of Life
		Eids or festivals are symbols to be found in every nation, including those that are based on revealed scriptures and those that are idolatrous, as well as others, because celebrating festivals is something that is an instinctive part of human nature.
		The Baatinis have their own festivals too, such as Eid al-Ghadeer, when they claim that the Prop (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave the khilaafah to Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) and to the twelve imaams after him.
		It is haraam to fast on the days of Eid because of the hadeeth of Abu Saeed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade fasting on the day of Fitr and the day of Sacrifice (Adhaa).
