- W2504192354 abstract "My earliest experiences of Islam were as a Muslim child waiting for months for the two most important Muslim festivals, Eidu’l-Fitr and Eidu’l-Azha. The former is celebrated joyously after observing fast for the entire month of Ramadan, in remembrance of a devotee’s successful struggle against the desires of the self, while on Eidu’l-Azha, Muslims perform the ritual of slaughtering an animal in memory of the devotion of Prophet Abraham to his Lord. Eidu’l-Azha follows approximately 69 days after the first Eid of the year. I waited eagerly for the two Eids. For Muslim children like me, these two festivals were great times to rejoice, and continue to be so for Muslim children today. We joined the elders in congregational prayers at Eidgahs or mosques and prostrated before Allah. We, the children, weren’t solemn believers. We often giggled and laughed during acts of prostration, and I remember disturbing the adults while they were deeply involved in prayer on several occasions. I also noticed some of our elders burst into tears while praying. As childhood faded into adolescence and youth, I tried to comprehend that seemingly strange behavior of the elders on happy occasions like Eid. Slowly, I realized that they did not invoke Allah merely for help in states of distress and helplessness, but more importantly, for spiritual union with Him." @default.
