Ramadhaan is Eid and Eid is Ramadhaan

Nonetheless, it is deduced from the Hadeeth that the haqeeqat [reality] of Ramadhaan is Eid, which is eating and drinking. Ostensibly these [eating and drinking] are abstained from [in fasting], but in actual fact, eating and drinking are taking place because the Rooh [soul] is receiving its nourishment [through fasting]. Previously we have explained that actual nourishment is the nourishment of the Rooh. This was one point.

The second point is that Eid in reality is Ramadhaan. And here, too, the inner meaning is intended, which means that Eid is not as you think—eat and drink lavishly. It is, in fact, Ramadhaan; stay away from the nourishment of the nafs [carnal self], which is sin and engrossment in mubaahaat or lawful things, which are not actual acts of Ibaadat.
