‘Aayshah reported that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"For every people there is a feast and this is our feast." [Sahih Al-Bukhari: (vol. 5, no. 268).]
"Our feast" has a great meaning to Muslims because it tells us that our feasts are our own and derived from our Sharee‘ah alone. Holidays are usually based on religious traditions. It is very important that we demonstrate our celebrations with great joy and gathering, and observe them in such a way that distinguishes us from the Mushrikeen. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam has ordered us in numerous speeches to defy the Mushrikeen, and these ‘Eids are among what the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam wanted us to take special care of.
