History of ኢድ አልፈጥር* (*estimated) in Ethiopia
ኢድ አልፈጥር, also known as Eid al-Fitr, is a holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan. In Ethiopia, the holiday is estimated to be celebrated by around 35% of the population, primarily in the eastern and southern parts of the country.
The history of Eid al-Fitr in Ethiopia dates back to the early days of Islam in the region. According to some accounts, the first Muslims in Ethiopia were refugees from Mecca who sought the protection of the Christian king, Negus, in the 7th century. Over time, Islam spread throughout the region, and today there are an estimated 25 million Muslims in Ethiopia.
The celebration of Eid al-Fitr in Ethiopia is marked by a number of traditions and customs. Muslims typically wake up early in the morning to perform special prayers, after which they exchange greetings and gifts with family and friends. Many also prepare special foods and sweets to share with others, and some participate in charitable activities to help those in need.
Despite its long history in Ethiopia, Eid al-Fitr has not always been a universally recognized holiday in the country. During the rule of the communist Derg regime in the 1970s and 1980s, the government discouraged the celebration of religious holidays, including Eid al-Fitr. However, after the fall of the Derg in 1991, the holiday was once again recognized and celebrated by Muslims throughout the country.
Today, Eid al-Fitr is an important holiday for Muslims in Ethiopia and around the world, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of faith, family, and community.
