Festivals and Celebrations
Every Hijri Year, Eid Al-Fitr is celebrated on the first, second and third of The Month of Shawwal and Eid Al-Adha is celebrated on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth of The Month of Dhul-Hijjah.
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The people of the Jahiliyyah had two days each year when they would play. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Al-Madinah he said: 'You had two days when you would play, but Allah (SWT) has given Muslims something instead that is better than them: the day of Al-Fitr and the day of Al-Adha.'" (Sunan an-Nasa'i, Book 19, Hadith 1)
