The Muslims are distinguished by their festivals
The Prophet's words
"Every nation has its festival, and this is your festival"
indicate that these two Eids are exclusively for the Muslims,
and that it is not permissible for Muslims to imitate the
kuffaar and mushrikeen in anything that is a distinctive part
of their celebrations, whether it be food, dress, bonfires
or acts of worship. Muslim children should not be allowed
to play on those kaafir festivals, or to put up decorations,
or to join in with the kuffaar on those occasions. All kaafir
or innovated festivals are haraam, such as Independence Day
celebrations, anniversaries of revolutions, holidays celebrating
trees or accessions to the throne, birthdays, Labour Day,
the Nile festival, Shimm al-Naseem (Egyptian spring holiday),
teachers' day, and al-Mawlood al-Nabawi (Prophet's Birthday).

The Muslims have no festivals apart from Eid al-Fitr and Eid
al-Adha, because of the hadeeth narrated from Anas (may Allah
be pleased with him) who said: "The Messenger of Allah
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Madeenah
and the people had two days when they would play and have fun.
He said, 'What are these two days?' They said, 'We used to play
and have fun on these days during the Jaahiliyyah. The Messenger
of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'Allah
has given you something better than them, the day of Adha and
the day of Fitr.'" (Sunan Abi Dawood, 1134) NEXT |
