Allah (SWT) said in the Qur’an:” Whoever follows My guidance, on them shall not be fear, nor shall they grieve.” (2: 38)
Eid al-Fitr is a unique festival. It has neither a connection with any historical event nor is it related to the changes of seasons or cycles of agriculture. It is not a festival related in any way to worldly affairs.
A Muslim does not eat, drink, or smoke and undergoes severe and rigorous discipline during the month of fasting because of his faith in Allah, for His love, and fear of His punishment. This continuous rigorous discipline strengthens one’s faith in Allah and makes one sincere, faithful, and obedient to His command.
