Islamic Holidays in the Middle Ages

Abstract

All religions of the world have their own holidays. The importance of holidays in the spread and development of every religion is incomparable. The two main Eids of Islam, one of the world's three major religions Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Adha it has been celebrated in the Muslim world for many centuries. Islamic holidays are based on religious ceremonies and are connected with the customs, traditions, and life experiences of peoples who have adopted Islam. That is why many Muslim nations have accepted these Eids as both religious and national holidays. Although different Muslim nations (Arab, Turkic, Iranian nations) have certain differences in celebrating these Eids, however, the general ritual and customs typical of Islamic holidays have been preserved. The main ceremony of the Islamic holidays is the "Eid prayer" performed at dawn in mosques and mosques. For a certain period of time, that is, during the time of the Soviets, religious customs and holidays were prohibited. As a result of the ideological changes that took place in our society only because of independence, religious holidays, in particular, Roza and Eid al-Adha, were held freely in our country.
