I am a Muslim and in my country of Pakistan we have three religious festivals.  They are Eid-Ul Fetar, Eid-Ul Zoha, and Eid Melad-Ul Nabi.

 

Ramazan is also an important time in our calendar.  At this festival of Eid-Ul-Fetar people give money to the poor people and offer Eid prayer.

 

Eid-Ul-Zoha is to celebrate the great sacrifice of Hazart Ibraheen who slaughtered his son to obey Alah.

 

Eid-Melad-Ul Nabi, is a day of celebration, of the birth of our Holy Prophet.  On this day we decorate the houses with candles and lights.  Every one has a fire work display and feast.  This is a very happy time for all Muslims.   All go to the mosque to pray and share friendship and people congratulate each other and wish each other good luck.

Ms Azam, three of the four festivals you mention have ‘Eid’ and ‘Ul’ as part of their names.   Does it mean Festival?   Is there a literal translation?
