Eid is Arabic meaning “feast,
festival, holiday.” This word comes from the word “عَوْدَتْ” (awdat) which
means “to turn, to recur, to come again and again since it returns every year
thus the meaning is changed and it is meant “the festival, the feast or
holiday.” The plural form of it is “ayaad.” Eid greetings are called “ta’yid”,
congratulate each others’s eid is called “muayada. Kaynak: http://askaquestionto.us
- What Does Eid Mean?”
Eid Mubarak (Arabic: عيد مبارك, Hindi: ईद मुबारक Persian/Urdu: عید مُبارک, is a
traditional Muslim greeting reserved for use on the festivals of Eid ul-Adha and
Eid ul-Fitr. The phrase translates into English as "blessed festival", and can
be paraphrased as "may you enjoy a blessed festival" (Eid refers to the occasion
itself, and Mubarak means "Blessed")
Muslims wish each other Eid Mubarak after performing the Eid prayer. The
celebration continues until the end of the day for Eid ul-Fitr (or al-Fitr) and
continues a further three days for Eid ul-Adha (or Al-Adha). However, in the
social sense people usually celebrate Eid ul-Fitr at the same time as Eid
ul-Adha, visiting family and exchanging greetings such as "Eid Mubarak". This
exchange of greetings is a cultural tradition and not part of any religious
obligation.
In India and neighbouring countries, Eid Mubarak wishes are very common and
often accompanied by hugging after the Salat al Eid.
In Turkey, where 'Eid Mubarak' is not common at all, the synonymous phrase "Bayramınız
mübarek olsun" is used, along with its more Turkicized counterpart, "Bayramınız
kutlu olsun", both meaning exactly the same: "May your holiday be blessed". In
Pashtun areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Pashto Akhtar de nekmregha sha,
meaning "may your festival be blessed" is common. Speakers of Arabic might also
add "kul 'am wantum bikhair", which means "[May] you be well every year". In
Indonesia, the most common expression is "Selamat Lebaran", Lebaran being an
Indonesian name for Eid; whereas in Malaysia it is "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri",
Aidilfitri being the Malay transliteration for Eid ul-Fitr.
Throughout the Muslim world there are numerous other greetings for Eid ul-Adha
and Eid ul-Fitr. The Companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad used to say to
each other when they met on Eid ul-Fitr: Taqabbalallâhu minnâ wa minkum (which
means "[May] God accept from us and you [our fasts and deeds]").
