About 1Eid

1Eid is a volunteer-led movement with one purpose: to strengthen and unite communities by reviving, celebrating and sharing the true spirit of Eid.

O mankind, We created you from a male and a female and made you peoples and tribes so that you may know one another.

Qur’an 49:13

Reviving the Sunnah

1Eid began in 2007 as an Eid for every generation and the whole community. Traditionally, Eid was a shared feast that broke down social barriers. We set out to bring that back.

Taking Eid out of the masajid

Our festivals are public events in city parks. Anyone can come, Muslim or not, and everyone is welcome.

Empowering women

The Prophet ﷺ commanded that women be brought out to the Eid prayer and gatherings. At 1Eid, women, sisters and mothers are at the heart of the celebration.

We were commanded to bring out on the two Eids the young women and those in seclusion, so that they may witness the good and the gathering of the Muslims.

Narrated by Umm ‘Atiyyah, Sahih al-Bukhari

Investing in our children’s identity

We want Muslim children to grow up with an Eid that feels as big, joyful and exciting as anything else in the calendar, a celebration that is truly theirs.

Dawah

Eid carries the values of unity, respect and harmony. Our festivals share those values with the wider community around every park we serve.

Our impact

By Allah’s grace, the project has grown enough to support deprived and neglected people with food, education and a sense of belonging, in the UK and abroad.
