Why are there two Eids (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha)?
At the beginning, I would like to clarify that our conversation on this topic… is not about criticizing Muslim holidays for rejecting them. On the contrary, holidays are beautiful things. Even if there are even four holidays, they do not represent any problem at all and will not be the subject of criticism unless they are accompanied by things. It causes a bad effect on people.
We will talk about this topic from another angle.
What is this door?
The truth is that the hadith on the issue of Muslim holidays is very important, because it is linked to the discourse of the Qur’an, and we are interested in understanding and contemplating the Qur’an?
But the Qur’an does not talk about these holidays?
Very true………but Muslim holidays are different from the rest of the other holidays of other religions and other peoples because they are related to living things and not dead.
Muslim holidays are not holidays that celebrate dead historical figures, nor are they holidays that celebrate ancient events, stories, and ideas that occurred in the past that cannot be verified. Rather, they are holidays that are linked to major living rituals and rituals that are still performed by Muslims, and they are not holidays with personalities, ideas, and events. These rituals are alive and present in the Qur’an’s speech to Muslims.
For example
Christianity…Christmas…the birth of Jesus.
China.. Moon Festival…. Lunar half-year.
But in Islam there are two important holidays:
Islam… Eid al-Fitr… is linked to the ritual of fasting performed by a Muslim
Islam… Eid Al-Adha… is linked to the ritual of Hajj performed by a Muslim
The rituals of fasting and the rituals of Hajj are still being addressed to the Muslim in the Qur’an, alive, continuous and continuing.
So…the main reason why talking about this topic is so important is:
1- The speech of the Qur’an, because they are holidays that come after rituals that the Muslim still performs, and those rituals that the Qur’an still talks about to the Muslim.
There is a second important reason in my opinion
What is it ?
The truth is that our topics that we always raise about time and the game that was played on Muslims, and the truth of the heritage that reached Muslims from Napoleon’s printer, will make many conclude that everything that has reached us is fake, artificial, and engineered, and that a corrupting force on earth has manufactured it for the people and They lived according to it, and from this perspective some will come to believe that these holidays are also part of the false heritage that has reached us and are not rooted in us, and this is not true.
Because the project that was undertaken by the Muslim was carried out on things that the Muslim owned, practiced and performed, and he only distorted their places and meanings. For this reason, there is prayer, fasting, and Hajj, and in our conversations we discuss the true origin that was linked to the Muslim and which was performed before Napoleon’s invasion.
From this approach, we say with confidence and certainty that there was a major holiday for Muslims before Napoleon, and it was linked to live rituals performed by Muslims.
On the one hand, this is true, and on the other hand, there is a very simple logic that confirms that Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha have a real, ancient origin:
1- If the matter was an engineering that took place after Napoleon’s invasion, it would have been assumed that the project would engineer only one Eid for the Muslim like the rest of the other religions, and it would not need to engineer two Eids for him with a long period of time between them, but the Muslim has two Eids that are similar and identical in their atmosphere and in the actions. Which a Muslim does on the day of Eid, separated by a period of 70 days.
2- Muslim holidays are not linked to dead people or ancient historical events like other religions. If the matter were engineered, the Muslim holiday would be like Christmas, such as a Muslim having a birthday for the Messenger, or a holiday celebrating a historical story that happened with the Messenger…but a Muslim has Holidays linked to live rituals and rituals performed by Muslims to this day, so they are real holidays.
This is the entrance and logic.
Logic never requires that there be one Eid instead of two. The matter is related to the nature of any religion and not a mathematical law so that there is one solution and not two solutions. However, we believe that there is supposed to be one Eid for Muslims only based on a different idea.
Is it one or two holidays?
If the project was carried out on things that were celebrated by the Muslim, then we believe that there were one or two Eids, but only the letter of the meaning, and from this perspective, there is no objection to it actually being two Eids or that the correct thing is one Eid…. The important thing is There is a really very ancient origin for the Eid, and to this day we are still within this ancient origin, even if the meaning is distorted.
It is certain that both Eids are valid, or there is only one Eid that is valid.
Logical problem… Two correct Eids or one correct Eid?
What’s the solution?
If we go to explore our two Eids, and make a comparison between them, we will find that the two Eids are identical in their atmosphere for Muslims, but there are unnatural and logical things about them.
Eid al-Fitr…….the small holiday
Eid al-Asha… the great Eid
Eid al-Fitr… its timing… is necessarily linked to the crescent of the month
Eid al-Adha… its timing… is not necessarily linked to the crescent of the month
Eid al-Fitr………today…..1st of the month
Eid al-Adha… today….. the 10th of the month
Eid al-Fitr…is linked to Muslim fasting
Eid al-Adha… linked to the Muslim Hajj
Eid al-Fitr……the place of Muslim fasting….the whole earth
Eid Al-Asha… a place of Muslim pilgrimage… a designated place
Eid al-Fitr……fasting is performed by….all Muslims
Eid Al-Asha.. Some Muslims perform Hajj
Eid al-Fitr…in which…cakes, new clothes, visits, Eid
Eid al-Adha…in which…cakes, new clothes, visits, feasts, and slaughter.
Now notice the origin of the holiday rituals. They seem inconsistent, surrounded by logical questions and contradictory, different, and unnatural things.
For example
Eid al-Fitr is very concerned with the issue of the new moon, and Eid al-Adha is not concerned with the new moon at all… even though they are two holidays.
Why is there an emphasis and interest in seeing the crescent of the month of Shawwal, but there is no interest in seeing the crescent of the month of Dhul-Hijjah?
Even if the Eid is on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, there is supposed to be a legal fatwa on sighting the crescent of the month of Hajj, and there is popular interest in sighting the crescent, which will determine the Eid.
Eid al-Fitr on the 1st of Shul and Eid al-Adha on the 10th of the month
It is logical that Eid al-Fitr should be on the first of the month, but why is Eid al-Kabir on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah and not the 1st of Dhul-Hijjah?!
It is also logical for Eid al-Fitr to be a holiday for all Muslims, because it is a holiday that comes after the fasting of all Muslims, as a reward for every Muslim who fasted Ramadan. But why do all Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha when not all of them performed Hajj, but rather some Muslims perform it? It is assumed that the holiday is for those who He performs Hajj rituals only.
It is also logical for Eid al-Fitr to be in every place on earth, because every Muslim in every place on earth performs fasting, and after the end of fasting there is an Eid in every place, but why is Eid al-Adha not in the designated place where Hajj is performed by some? Muslims.
On Eid al-Fitr…the Muslim performs fasting and participates in the Eid.
On Eid al-Adha…the Muslim who performs Hajj does not participate in the Eid, while the Muslim who does not perform Hajj participates in the Eid.
Why do we make the day on which some Muslims perform Hajj at Al-Bayt Al-Haram a holiday for all of us?
In other words…..it makes sense that a person fasted and then celebrated a holiday, but a person did not perform Hajj and celebrate a holiday, and a person did Hajj and did not celebrate the holiday?!
Something strange and unnatural
Now notice the things that a Muslim does on the two Eids. We will find that they are the same and completely identical things and have the same atmosphere. The only thing different is only the slaughter on the Great Eid, and what is strange is that the difference between them is a small period of 70 days.
Eid al-Fitr was a television episode, and Eid al-Adha was a repeat of the same television episode after 70 days.
This observation that we found about the identical atmosphere of the two Eids and the actions that the Muslim performs, makes us posit the possibility that it was originally one Eid, and the possibility is high that the project that was done to the Muslim was the one who made it two Eids and created those contradictions and unnatural things associated with them.
Do the two Eids have a basis in heritage books?
Yes, although the story of Mecca does not provide the Muslim with a clear picture of the form of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which was performed by the Messenger, his family, and his companions. Rather, the heritage books deliberately made the Messenger’s argument one before his death so that we would not witness the atmosphere of Eid al-Adha with the Messenger.
Rather, heritage books tried to provide the Muslim with a trivial reason, in our view, for the reasons why the day of Hajj is a Muslim holiday, relying on the idea of the Darwinian Allah, which we talked about a lot in our articles, through a Jewish saying by one of the caliphs of Mecca, and that saying: If it had been, this would have been the day on which it was revealed. In it there is a verse upon us (Today I have perfected your religion for you) so we made it a holiday for us….and from the advice of the Jew, the caliphs thought of making it a holiday for all Muslims, and of course it is false talk from the books of Napoleon’s printer, as we mentioned that Muslim holidays are not holidays celebrating dead characters or celebrating stories. And ancient historical occasions and events, according to this logic, which Napoleon’s printer’s books tried to convince the Muslim through the statement of that Jew, because the Muslim holidays are holidays as a result of their association with ancient, large, and universal living rituals and rites performed by the Muslim.
So how can this be understood?
The possibility is high that it is one Eid, and two Eids were made by the project that was applied to the Muslim.
As long as we believe that the two Eids are one Eid, and the two Eids are linked to the two rituals of fasting and Hajj, and because the Qur’an addresses the Muslim about them, this thing will make us believe that the solution to the matter is present in the speech of the Qur’an, and the possibility is high that fasting and Hajj are interconnected and that the Muslim performs them at the same time. And in one place, but they were separated, so a holiday was created for each ritual. This project distorted the meanings of the speech of the Qur’an by printing books of interpretations and jurisprudence to conform to this geometry that it applied to the Muslim, and made the Muslim believe that Hajj is in a designated place and fasting. In general, not in a designated place, and performing Hajj at one time and fasting at another separate time.
Now… if we go to consider the Qur’an’s discourse on fasting and Hajj, we will find something very amazing. The Qur’an actually talks about fasting and Hajj as if they were two identical things in one place and at the same time, and this may be the beginning of a thread that can be continued until it is presented. the solution .
This is a link to our previous article about fasting and Hajj
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=794302771505988&id=100027788172171 Now let us see the interpretation of this comparison of the things related to the two Eids, which seem contradictory and unnatural and raise many questions through the Qur’an.
Why is there an emphasis and interest in seeing the crescent of the month of Shawwal, but there is no interest in seeing the crescent of the month of Dhul-Hijjah?
{They ask you about the new moons. Say, “They are appointed times for the people and for Hajj. And righteousness is not that you approach houses from their backs, but righteousness is from being pious. And approach houses from their doors and fear Allah that you may succeed.}
If we assume that the crescent is the plural of crescent, then the verse is very clear: the crescent is to calculate the times of people and the times of Hajj.
So why is a Muslim interested in the timing of fasting and not interested in the timing of Hajj, which the Qur’an emphasizes?
If the verse were (appointments for people and fasting), but it would be logical that it is an explanation of the Muslim’s interest in knowing the crescent of fasting.
The strange thing is that all the books of hadith and jurisprudence that reached the Muslim deliberately call on the Muslim to violate the Qur’an and not adhere to the letter of the Qur’an. They call on the Muslim to observe the crescent of fasting and the crescent of Eid al-Fitr and do not obligate the Muslim to observe the crescent of Eid al-Hajj.
It is also logical for Eid al-Fitr to be on the first crescent of the month, but why is Eid al-Kabir on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah and not the first crescent of the month?
The verse is clear that the crescent moon is a timing for Hajj, meaning Hajj is at the beginning of the month, that is, when the month is a crescent… Hajj is timed at the beginning of the month, but it was placed on the 10th of the month… This is on the assumption that the crescent moon is the plural of the crescent moon.
Also, why does the first Eid come after all Muslims fast, but the second Eid comes after the Hajj of some Muslims?
{So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it}
{So whoever imposes Hajj on them, let him not commit sexual intercourse.}
The speech is clear….. some of you, not all of you
So why is there a contradiction between the discourse of the Qur’an and the heritage that reached the Muslim who created his reality?
Why does the first Eid come after a month-long ritual, and the second Eid comes after a days-long ritual?
{For a number of days, and whoever of you is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days, and for those who are able to do it, a ransom must be given by feeding a poor person. But whoever volunteers good, it is better for him, and that you fast is better for you, if you only knew.}
{Hajj is the most famous information}
The speech is clear…fasting is for a few days, not one month, and Hajj is for months, not in one month.
Much of the discourse of the Qur’an contradicts the reality in which the Muslim lives, and everything found in the books of Napoleon’s printer is identical to the reality of the Muslim today.
This contradiction between the Muslim’s speech and the Muslim’s performance of the rituals of fasting and Hajj is what explains those questions that revolve around Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which are linked to fasting and Hajj…. Indeed, the possibility is very, very high that it was one Eid, very ancient, as the origin of the first were the first Muslims. They do it, but two Eids were made for the Muslim in order to separate the two rituals from each other, and so a second Eid was made.
This result… is what explains the reasons for the Qur’an’s speech:
{O you who have believed, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become righteous.}
The last question remains
Can this holiday be mentioned in the Qur’an?
The truth is that there is a day mentioned in the Qur’an in the story of Musa, the story in which Allah inspired Musa to make the houses in Misr before him, and the speech tells us about that day in the story as if it were known to us, and this day is…. the day of adornment.
{He said, “Your appointment is the Day of Adornment, and that the people will be gathered together for a sacrifice.”}
Is the Day of Decoration… the day of Hajj at the houses (mosques) in Misr… when every pilgrim takes his decorations there… or Eid Al-Adha?
Imagine the scene of a large crowd of people gathering in a place, each one dressed in full adornment. It is logical that this day will be… a day of adornment.
{O children of Adam, take your adornment at every mosque}
finally
The article is just an opinion, which does not mean that it is confirmed. The article is an invitation to think and contemplate
