Eid for kids: al-Fitr & al-Adha
Muslims celebrate two Eids every year: Eid al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha during the days of Hajj. Here's how to make both joyful for little ones — traditions, greetings, gift ideas, crafts, colouring and free printables.
Teacher review under way.
Eid al-Fitr
1 Shawwal — the day after Ramadan ends
The festival of breaking the fast: new clothes, the Eid prayer, Zakat al-Fitr, family visits and gifts.
Eid al-Adha
10 Dhul Hijjah — during the days of Hajj
The festival of sacrifice: we remember the trust in Allah of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and share qurbani meat with others.
Dates are worked out on your device from the Umm al-Qura calendar. The actual day depends on the moon sighting in your community, so it may be a day earlier or later.
Eid greetings
عِيدٌ مُبَارَكٌ
Eid Mubarak
“A blessed Eid”
The greeting everyone knows — on cards, at the masjid and with hugs at the door.
تَقَبَّلَ اللَّهُ مِنَّا وَمِنْكُمْ
Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum
“May Allah accept from us and from you”
A du'a many Muslims say to each other on both Eids. Older children love learning it.
