The Eid Celebration Committee is preparing for the biggest and best year ever in 2012. The Olympics have motivated us to outdo ourselves and compete in every way possible to challenge our members, our teamates and you, our brothers and sisters. We want to push 1Eid to new hights during the Olympics and we know how much impact we have had on our communities already in terms of da'wah. Now is a great time to really push ourselves in our own efforts to integrate in society as Muslims but without assimilating. We know as we know our perfect faith that Islam offers far more than Muslims have delivered in the UK and in Europe overall. 1Eid is one of the best, if not THE best way of sharing the essence of Islam through the best method of da'wah, by example. 1Eid shares the purest form of such da'wah through the essence of Eid as it was supposed to be celebrated.
In the past, we have had events ranging from 1000 up to 50,000 attendees at our various locations in the United Kingdom. We wish to achieve far more this year focusing on five locations for Eid ul Fitr 2012. Help us achieve Da'wah and our Eid far better than most of us had ever dreamed of. To everyone we have a quick message.To our 1Eid lovers and supporters we say please come foward. Enough pats on the back and enough praises for the projects. We see thousands of such thanks but we see only a handful coming forward with donations or even volunteering. Many have promised many times to support the project with pledges yet sadly a very few actualy came through. We need you to live up to your word and fulfill your promises you made to Allah azza wa jall and His project 1Eid. http://www.justgiving.com/eidcelebrationcommittee/donate
To people who are not Muslim or do not know much about Islam or 1Eid we ask that you write us your questions or comments. We invite you to be our guests at our events so you may enjoy yourself and your family may finaly benefit from the fruits of our faith and share the essence of Eid with us. We hope you will attend and realise the beauty of our beliefs but most important grant us the opportunity to host you as our guests.
To those who do not understand 1Eid we ask that you get in touch with all and any questions so that we may help you realise what we have realised over the years.
To those who have copied this project or realised the importance of this revival we are glad you have also taken initiative in your town or country but we ask that you contact us so we may work together so our ummah may feel united. We offer support to other groups so that we may agree on what is common in the Quran and Sunnah of Eid thus pleasing our communities with what they are so very hungry for, unity. Unite with us upon 1Eid and its ethos and guidance from the Eid Celebration Committee which was formed for this very purpose. We want to achieve our claims and not be of those who do not do that which they say as such are hated by Allah. Unite through actions so our words may hold more weight and value purely for His sake and our Ummah's progress.

ECC - Official Charity
By the blessings of Allah – Eid celebration committee becomes a recognised charity.
Dear brothers and sisters, respected elders and supporters,
Assalamu ’Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah,
It is only by the grace of Allah all perfect and sublime that after a long and gruelling wait the Eid Celebration Committee is now an established charity. All Praise be to Allah the most Gracious and deserve of thanks and gratitude that this news was delivered to us only days after the success of eid ul adha in Luton.
When I began this project I did not see this as anything more than a small community event I wanted to give to my family, children, my fellow brothers/sisters and the non Muslims I had encountered when moving to this country. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined 2011 would see over 50,000 people descend at fryant park to celebrate Eid ul fitr and remember and rejoice the name of Allah not to mention the other cities which came out establishing 1Eid as well.
SubhanAllah, it has been through your support, dedication and encouragement Allah has truly blessed us with such unity. Albeit it was planned on a small scale, our aim and ambition is now to go from thousands to millions in celebrating Eid and showing the united kingdom the reality of Islam and it’s Muslims insha’Allah.
When we began we had donations from friends, family and private supporters of al fitrah who attended my circles in our modest community events. Never did you waiver in your support nor hesitated, instead when we were challenged with lack of man power, fasting all day and forgetting to even break our fast at times as we gave our ramadan to the projects serving our community it was you that was there without question fuelling, inspiring and funding us. It was you who made the reality of this sunnah come true, from a sweet dream, to a vision of wonder as rows lined up to bow, prostrate and proclaim Allahs greatness on a day of celebration.
This charity status, though not required for the sincere hearts who gave without questioning only seeking Allahs face on yawm ul qiyamah and only wishing to drink from the hands of the prophet our beloved muhammad al mustafa sallahu aleyhi wa salaam, means we will be able to broaden our net of supporters and let others now give and take their portion of jannah with us through their generous contributions as Sadaqa Jariyah.
The transparency will allow those who may not know us personally to realise how much hard work, effort any money goes into creating something so beautiful, a style of dawah like none other which has already sent a powerful message that indeed Islam is peace..Islam is beautiful.
A heartfelt thank you and Du’a (Jazakum Allahu Khairah) to you from myself, my family who have seen me relentlessly pursue this project and from my dawah family who have sacrificed their Ramadans and family times in hopes of a better future, to all of you for your many years of support...may Allah give us many more years.
With love and peace

We are a voluntary organisation and everyone who works on this project is doing so purely for the sake of Allah.
However in order to have the impact we want we have many costs that need to be covered. One of our largest costs is for the prayer marquee, lighting towers and generators and carpet to facilitate a comfortable prayer.
We ask everyone to sponsor a prayer spot so that you can receive the rewards of the thousands who will be praying and reviving the sunnah on this historical day.
Please set up a monthly standing order for £1, £5, £10, £20, £30 etc... which will help us SUSTAIN THIS EVENT... and grow in MORE LOCATIONS... giving you MORE good deeds as you contribute in making this world a better place.
Just 30p a day (£10 a month) will go A LONG WAY in helping this vision grow.

Pray Eid In The Masjid?
The practical Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (i.e., what he did) was to leave his mosque for the Eid prayers and perform these prayers in the musalla that was at the outer gate of Madeenah. See Zaad al-Ma’aad by Ibn al-Qayyim, 1/441.
Shaykh Ahmad Shaakir (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The views of the scholars concerning that are closely connected:
In Sharh al-Bukhaari, the Hanafi scholar al-‘Ayni discussed the following hadeeth of Abu Sa’eed [al-Khudri]: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to go out to the prayer-place on the day of al-Fitr and al-Adha. The first thing that he did was to pray, then he would move away and stand facing the people, when the people were (still) sitting in their rows, and he would exhort them and advise them and issue commands to them. If he wanted to dispatch an army he would do so, and if he wanted to issue some command, he would do so. Then he would leave.” Abu Sa’eed said: The people continued to do that until I came out with Marwaan when he was the governor of Madeenah, on (the day of) al-Ahda or al-Fitr.

As you can imagine arranging the 1Eid isn’t a small tasks and takes months of preparations to cater to so many thousands ensuring it lives up to the expectations of this special day. So far we have had a small team who has sacrificed and struggled hard to make this Sunnah revival happen, but as 1Eid continue it will progressively get BIGGER AND BETTER and that’s where YOU can play your part.
