　　下面，小编就来详细的给大家介绍一下这个节日。

　　什么是开斋节?

　　What is Eid al-Fitr?

　　开斋节一般在斋月结束的时候举行。关于斋月，也就是伊斯兰历第九个月，又叫“莱麦丹月”，顾名思义，就是教徒守斋的月份。在斋月期间，教徒们在一天的日出到日落之间是不得饮食的，只有到傍晚才能吃简单清淡的晚餐。

　　斋月的开始和结束以新月的出现为标志，因此斋月的起始和终止日期每年都不同，因而开斋节作为斋月的末尾，每年的日期也不一样。

　　Eid al-Fitr is a religious holiday marking the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. During Ramadan, Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink from sunrise to sunset.

　　The date for the start of Eid al-Fitr varies based on the observation of the new moon by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality.

　　开斋节的起源

　　The Origins of Eid al-Fitr

　　关于这个节日的起源，有这样一个传说。根据《圣训》阿纳萨传述，先知默罕默德迁徙到麦地那后，看到当地人在依据旧日惯，在特定的两天来举行庆祝民间活动，自娱自乐。穆罕默德就告诉他们，根据真主启示，这两个节会会用更好的日子来替代，一个是奉献牺牲的日子，一个是结束斋戒的日子。这两个节日后来就分别成了古尔邦节和开斋节。

　　According to a legend from Anas, when the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca arrived in Medina, he found people celebrating two specific days in which they used to entertain themselves with recreation and merriment. The Prophet then said that the Almighty has fixed two days for Muslims, which are more appropriate dates for celebration--Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

　　开斋节的俗

　　Customs of Eid al-Fitr

　　穆斯林群众们一般会用两到三天的时间来庆祝开斋节。他们会在拂晓就早早起床，先给自家的房屋大院来一次彻彻底底的大扫除，直至全面干净整洁，一尘不染。之后，他们会沐浴净身，换上自己喜爱的衣服，收拾的整整齐齐，干净利索。

　　之后，他们会从四面八方聚集到当地的清真寺，进行严肃的祈祷叩拜活动。

　　此外，一些穆斯林群众还会慷慨解囊，给那些需要帮助的人们施以援助，目的是“扶贫济困，净化心灵”。

　　Eid al-Fitr is celebrated for one, two or three days.

　　Typically, practicing Muslims wake up early in the morning and thoroughly clean their rooms and courtyards. Then, they will take a shower before prayer, put on new clothes, and put on perfume or scented water.

　　After that, Muslims will attend the prayer ceremony at the local mosque.

　　Along with the prayer customs, Muslims often go out around this time and give money to the poor and needy.

　　另外，开斋节也少不了一些美食。不同地方的穆斯林群众会制作不同的食品。中东地区的人会做一些糖果甜点，而马来西亚等地的群众则会做竹筒饭。

　　Muslims will also celebrate by eating traditional foods and sweet desserts. This is done throughout the Middle East, but differs in other Muslim areas of the world. In Malaysia, for instance, it is customary for Muslims to eat bamboo-tube rice during Eid al-Fatr.

　　在中国，特别是回族人民，他们会吃一些极具节日的食品，最有名的当属“馓子”和“油香”这两种点心了。

　　In China, Muslims, especially those from the Hui ethnic group, often eat 'Sanzi', a deep-fried dough twist, or 'Youxiang', a flour-and-salt cake fried in sesame oil.
