What are some of the Muslim holidays?

Question

I'm ashamed to ask this since I'm half Tunesian and should really know this but what are some Muslim holidays or events outside of Ramadan?

Answer 1

Assalamu alaikum!

No problem man if u r not aware of this. But what matters is if you are interested in the religion.

We have only 2 Eids (festivals) and both of them are with reasons.

The first is Eid-al-fitr. This is to mark the end of Ramadan. After fasting for one long month, ALLAH subhanahu wa ta'aala showers on us HIS mercy. this is in the form of a feast.

Every worker is paid his salary after the work is completed. And since Fasting is solely for the sake of ALLAH subhanah wa ta'aala, HE gives Eid-AL-fitr to us.

Eid-al-adha is the next Festival. This is to mark in the memory of PRophet Ibrahim's great will to sacrifice his son for ALLAH.

In islam there is strict prohibition to celebrate the Prophet's birthday (Peace Be Upon Him). Rather than celebrating his birthday, we should adhere to his sunnah and practice it in our lives.

Answer 2

Islam only has TWO holidays.

1. Eid ul Adha, which is the Feast of Sacrifice and performed during the 12th month of the Islamic year during the hajj time.

2. Eid ul Fitr which is the Feast of the Fast-Breaking, which marks the end of the 9th month of Ramadan of the Islamic calender.

There are other days which are deemed important such as the 9th, 10th and 11th of the 1st month of the Islamic calender, Muharram, but these are NOT holidays.

Celebration of the Prophet Muhammad's (Peace Be Upon Him) birthday is not a correct practise in Islam is called an innovation and must be avoided. It is also NOT a holiday.

Answer 5

Day of Ashurah - the 10th day of the month of Muharram. This is the day on which God saved Moses and the Israelitess from Pharaoh in Egypt as he crossed the Red Sea (the Exodus day). According to Islamic tradition Muhammad fasted along with the neighboring Jewish communities on this occasion, and according to narrations, Muhammad planned on fasting on the 9th and 10th of Muharram. (According to Judaism the Israelites left Egypt on the first day of Passover, and they crossed the Sea of Reeds on the next morn, both of which are celebrated as holidays with meals.) This is also the day on which Muhammad's grandson, Husayn ibn Ali, was killed according to tradition in the Battle of Karbala. For Shi'a Muslims this is a day of mourning. Many Sunni Muslims also commemorate this event, albeit in a less dramatic fashion than the Shi'a.

Muslim New Year - not generally celebrated as an official Islamic holiday, although many Muslim communities have devised or revived some kind of new year ritual celebration.
