00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:12.360
(WOMAN) Hello! Assalaam Alaikum!

00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:15.840
(BOTH) Eid Mubarak!

00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:17.840
(EXCITED CHATTERING)

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:20.640
- Come and meet the family.
- OK, cool, cool.

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.920
Muslims all over the world
celebrate Eid ul-Fitr

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.280
when a new crescent moon is sighted
at the end of Ramadan.

00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.800
This Eid which is called Eid ul-Fitr,

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.240
basically it's celebrating the end of
the previous month which was Ramadan,

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.480
and that is the month where Muslims

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:42.320
fast every day for about 12 hours.

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:47.280
Fasting is when Muslims don't
eat or drink during daylight hours,

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.280
but people get together
to break their fast at sunset.

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.080
It's just so beautiful because
you are closer to God.

00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:56.120
You have a stronger faith

00:00:56.120 --> 00:00:59.120
and people just pray
and read the Qur'an.

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:01.800
So, now they are celebrating
the end of that month.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.960
Hello, my name is Danya.
I'm 24 years of age.

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:10.880
We're on our way to the mosque
because today is Eid, yay!

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:14.800
We usually wake up in the morning.
We go to the Eid prayer.

00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:18.160
When you are going to the mosque,
we invite people in the car

00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:21.320
and then we go together,
when we are going we say...

00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:23.480
"La illah ill Allah.
Muhammad rasul Allah.

00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.960
"Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar.
La illah il Allah."

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:29.560
"There is no God except Allah and
prophet Muhammad is his messenger."

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.160
Then, "God is greatest.
God is greatest."

00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:34.800
When you get to
the mosque, how do you feel?

00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:38.800
I feel so happy actually
because I am praying to God.

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:43.720
And there you pray with a group of people
which is so much better and it's fun.

00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:51.080
Hello. We just prayed there,
our Eid prayers

00:01:51.080 --> 00:01:54.080
and some people might be
on their way home,

00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:57.760
some people might be on their way
to visit friends and family.

00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.240
But, now it's a whole day
of celebration and food!

00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:02.640
See you later!

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:10.000
Eid means to me,
a time to spend with family.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.200
It's a celebration after
the finishing of the fasts

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:18.320
and it's a time to enjoy
and be with family.

00:02:18.320 --> 00:02:21.280
It's the day that you
spread the love.

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.840
It's a day that we all cherish.

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.320
After a long month of fasting and
all the ibadah and worship you've been doing,

00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:32.120
trying your hardest for your fast,
it's just like a nice break.

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.480
For me, personally,

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:37.120
I get to see loads of cousins
and family I don't see usually

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.480
and go out to eat, things like that
and you know, dress up nice.

00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:43.920
In the evenings as well
you see your friends.

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:45.800
It's a nice day to get together.

00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.920
We might play some football
and then erm...

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:54.840
And then we're going to go home
and have like, eidi.

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.320
To mark this joyous occasion
and to spread the Eid cheer

00:03:00.320 --> 00:03:03.720
children are given money gifts
by their parents and relatives.

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.000
This is known as an...

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:11.920
This is your eidiya,
your Eid present.

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:13.360
- There you go.
- Thank you!

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:14.720
You're welcome!

00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:34.160
On Eid people learn
to appreciate each other.

00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:38.400
At the same time we have to remember
the less fortunate people as well,

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.360
the less fortunate than us,
on this day and every day.

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.840
On Eid we give money to poor people
and homeless people

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.720
because whatever you give,
you get good deeds from Allah

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:53.320
and He thinks a good thing of you.

00:03:53.320 --> 00:03:55.160
All Muslims are expected

00:03:55.160 --> 00:03:58.120
to give a small percentage
of their income to charity.

00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.560
This is called 'Zakat'

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.680
and is one of the five
obligatory duties of Islam

00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.640
and any extra donations
they want to give is called Sadaqah.

00:04:07.640 --> 00:04:09.440
When I give money to people,

00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:12.120
homeless people,
especially homeless people,

00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.360
I feel so proud of myself because
I've done a very good thing

00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.360
that God likes and loves.

00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.920
To celebrate we're going to go
to a restaurant during daylight

00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.560
because we can!

00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.120
We're going to eat.

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.520
- Enjoy your food!
- We will!
