Eid al-Adha is a holiday of breaking the fast, which is celebrated by Muslims on the last day of fasting. The celebration takes place over three days. In 2020, all Muslims in the world will celebrate the holiday, so it is important to know what date it will start and when it will end.

History of the Muslim holiday

The history and traditions of the celebration of Uraza-Bairam go back to the distant 624 year. The founder of the holiday is considered to be the Prophet Muhammad. Since ancient times, it was believed that every Muslim should raise his spiritual level and the main point in this process should be the observance of fasting for a whole month.

Fasting in the understanding of Muslims is not only a refusal to eat and water, but also complete abstinence from sins. Only the correct observance of the fast will help a person get rid of mental heaviness and previously committed unkind deeds. A person refuses everything forbidden, which in the future will allow him to embark on the true path.

During this period, a person must study the Quran, perform the maximum number of good deeds that will lead to the further purification of his soul.

Of the 12 months of the year, Ramadan is the most sacred and revered month. Therefore, all Muslims in the world honor the traditions that came to them from the distant past.

What is the date of Uraza-Bayram

In order not to miss the main holiday of Eid al-Adha, it is important to know when the Muslim fast begins in 2020.

The question of when it begins, when the Great Muslim Lent ends, is important, since believers cannot miss such an important event. The ninth month in the Islamic calendar is considered sacred. For the correct calculation, the Lunar calendar is used, which is 10 days shorter than the solar one.

There is no exact date for the beginning of the fast, for the reason that the ratio of the Muslim calendar to the Gregorian is made. Due to the fact that the number of days in the calendars does not coincide, the date of Lent is shifted every year.

The first day of the beginning of Ramadan in 2020 falls on April 24, and after the end of the fast, all Muslims of the world celebrate Uraz Bayram. Knowing when the fast begins in 2020, you can independently calculate the start date for the celebration of the Great Holiday.

End of Ramadan in 2020

The end date of the Muslim fast in 2020 falls on May 23. As soon as the sun sets on May 23, 2020, we can talk about the end of the fast, and Muslims can move on to the celebration of Uraza-Bairam. Throughout the fast, believers try to improve their lives according to the prescriptions of the Koran. Purity should be not only in the outward appearance of a Muslim, but also in his soul.

During Ramadan, everyone can fast, but there are some rules from which it is forbidden to deviate:

• a person who has reached the age of majority can fast;
• Holy Ramadan can be observed by one who sincerely believes in the power of Islam and follows the scriptures of the Koran;
• it is forbidden to fast for the mentally ill, the elderly, as well as those who may suffer from abstinence. In addition, pregnant and lactating mothers may not fast;
• perhaps condescension to travelers who are away from home, to soldiers who are at war.

Alms in honor of the end of Ramadan

Considering that Ramadan is the month when Muslims do the maximum number of good deeds, they are also charged with the obligation to pay alms. Sadaka Fitr is paid by every Muslim. Alms are paid to help the following citizens of the Muslim world:

• the poor - assistance is provided to all those who have half of what is required for a normal life;
• poor people;
• Muslims who have recently converted to Islam. The payment is made in order to support the person in his choice;
• people who are unable to pay their debt;
• those who are far from their home.

Knowing what date Eid al-Adha will be celebrated in 2020, believers prepare for alms in advance, since alms are no longer transferred on the day of breaking the fast. The collected alms should not be spent on the construction of mosques, hospitals, everything is given to the severely needy.

In addition, wealthy Muslims pay a certain amount every year to help the poor.

How is the holiday Uraza-Bairam

Knowing when Eid al-Adha is in 2020, all Muslims try to prepare in advance for its celebration. On the territory of the Russian Federation, in the republics of the North Caucasus, Bashkiria and Tatarstan, the day of celebration of Uraza-Bairam is considered an official day off.

Prepare for the Muslim holiday in a few days. Clean housing is a prerequisite, which is why women clean their homes in advance. In addition, traditional festive dishes are prepared for the invited guests. On the table are meat pies, goulash, soups made from lamb, sweets and many other goodies.

In Tatarstan, on Uraza-Bayram, there is traditionally a meat pie with the addition of cottage cheese, made from yeast dough, on the table. There must be beef and potato pies on the table.

Despite the large number of goodies and prolonged abstinence, Muslims do not just sit down at the table, but perform rituals:

• you need to distribute the alms of breaking the fast. Most often, Muslims bring it to the mosque or give it to those in need. Everyone who bears alms must donate at least 3 kg of bulk products. Alms will help to atone for mistakes made while fasting;
• a festive prayer is performed - id-namaz, which is recited at home or collectively in a mosque;
• a man who goes to a mosque, washes, puts on eau de toilette and puts on beautiful clothes;
• you need to take a rug with you to the mosque;
• going to the mosque one way, you need to return home the other.

According to tradition, women perform Eid Namaz at home.

After the alms have been distributed, the prayer has been read, Muslims sit at the table, communicate, have fun and share their joy with the guests.

Fast

Muslim fasting has only two prescriptions - intention (the fasting person must understand that he is fasting for the sake of Allah and sincerely believe in it) and abstinence, which lasts from dawn to dusk.

Muslim fasting involves refusal to eat until the first star, drink, inhale tobacco smoke. Even intimate relationships during the daytime are prohibited.

Suhoor

Suhoor is a Muslim term for eating food before morning prayer. Suhur is performed until dawn. If the fasting person does not eat before dawn, this will not mean breaking the fast, but the believer will lose some of the reward, since he will break what the Prophet Muhammad said.

Iftar

Iftar - breaking the fast in the evening during Ramadan observance. The meal takes place after reading the evening prayer. But here you need to remember that you can eat only when the sun goes down, and night descends to the ground. In the evening, eating begins with dates and water.

Taraweeh

Taraweeh means "break, rest". Taraweeh is performed during Ramadan, but after reciting the obligatory night prayer. Can be done alone or collectively in mosques.

Knowing when Ramadan begins and when it ends, every Muslim has the opportunity to prepare for the main holiday - Eid al-Adha.

Summarize

• Ramadan is a fast that all Muslims of the world observe;
• during the period of fasting, it is imperative to do good deeds and give alms to those in need;
• prepare for Uraza-Bairam long before the celebration.

Eid al-Adha is an important holiday in the life of every Muslim.
