   well the answer of first part of Question is:
   
   Background of EID:
   
   Every tribe, people or race throughout the world celebrates a festival of one sort or another. Muslims also celebrate some festive occasions on some days of the year. But the festival of Eid is one that we are commanded to celebrate in festivity, joy and happiness by Allah Almighty Himself ! This in itself portrays its importance.
   
   This is the occasion Muslims have been enjoined by Allah Almighty Himself to celebrate with happiness and joy. This occasion is called JASHN-E-NUZOOL-E-QURAN, i.e. EID-UL-FITR-DAY.
   
   The Quran was first bestowed from on high in the month of Ramadaan as a guidance to man (2:185). Therefore the entire month of fasting is, in a way, a preparation for the celebration of this festival day called Eid. The question arises: what, after all, has Allah given us for which we are commanded to rejoice? The answer is given by the Quran itself that it (the Quran) makes man aware of his true status in this world. Allah Almighty says: Indeed there has come to you from your God, a Light and a clear Book.(5:15, 14:1).
   
   Ponder for a moment what happens in the dark, and what happens to darkness when it is stabbed by light! In darkness, no object, article or a thing's correct identity, position and location can be known; whereas in light every object's true location and identity is before us. In darkness we mistakenly presume a rope to be a snake, and vice versa. But when light comes, we see the difference between a rope and a snake!
   
   why do muslims celebrate it:
   
   muslims celebrate because it is a celebraition that we have finished the month of fasting. u know wen we fast for a whole month we fast from sunrise to sunset. and we brake our fast with dates milk then a good iftar which means food for braking the fast. we also fast because we have tto feal how the poor people dont have like us evreyday and it also strengthens our body. so thats y we celebrate eid al fitur.
