Eid al-Fitr vs Eid al-Adha
Islam's two great Eid celebrations — the feast ending Ramadan and the feast of sacrifice — are both joyful community occasions yet mark profoundly different religious milestones.
The Islamic calendar contains two major festivals: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Fitr (the 'Festival of Breaking the Fast') marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, and is a joyous celebration of spiritual discipline completed. Eid al-Adha (the 'Festival of Sacrifice') commemorates Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God and coincides with the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. Together the two Eids structure the Muslim year and unite over 1.8 billion believers worldwide.

결론
Both Eids begin with communal prayer, emphasise charity, and bring families together, yet they differ in purpose and atmosphere. Eid al-Fitr is a personal reward for a month of devotion, while Eid al-Adha is a collective act of remembrance and sacrifice that connects Muslims to the global Hajj pilgrimage.
