What are the religious festivals and occasions in Islam?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Muslims have only two Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. These are two days of joy, remembrance of Allah, glorification (takbir), exclamations of "There is no god but Allah" (tahlil), and the Eid prayers. There are other occasions for joy, such as marriage () and the ' (sacrifice for a newborn), but these are not tied to specific days of the year.
