Eid Prayers

Salm sister.
You mean Eid al-Fitr prayer?
To my knowledge, the Qur'an does not even mention that we have to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
And personally, I think this festival is not necessary.
It's even an ironic celebration, I suppose, because looks like there are muslims who seem to think that they celebrate 'victory' because they managed to carry out their fasting and worship during the month of Ramadan so they can return to purity, like newborn babies, pure and innocent...
Looks like they believe Ramadan is the special holy month which is full of forgiveness.
Another Ramadan "bonus" which is also well known is the chance to experience "a magical night - Laylat al-Qadr".
Peace.

Besides the two daily prayers FAJR and EISHA (The Maghrib prayer of the Muslims) there are no prayers. Every other prayers are fabricated. There are no EIDS as well. Prayer is a communicative contact with Allah and it includes praising Allah, asking for forgiveness, guidance and a time for sincere repentance.

We have 365 days and 730 times in a year to meet Allah via communication to seek help, guidance and forgiveness then why do we need the unwarranted Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Adha etc.
Why was Fasting prescribed? To celebrate the festival of breaking the fast?
Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are their garments. Allah knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate with them, and seek what Allah Hath ordained for you, and eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast Till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) Allah Approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth Allah make clear His Signs to men that they may learn self-restraint. 2186
The sole purpose of fasting prescribed by Allah was to make the believers mindful of HIM/to learn self restraint and not to celebrate the festival of breaking the fast which was fabricated by the followers of the prophet.
If we celebrate EID there is no harm but should not be made as an integral part of the system (religion) of Allah and no prayers should be offered because it is not endorsed by the Quran.

Thank you guys.
As I'm still on the path of discovery, I will ask a lot of these questions. I also looked up Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul adha in the Qur'an and couldn't find them.
How do these un- Qur'anic practices survive through the centuries? (rhetoric question). How did the hadiths become so engrained in the muslim community? Were there any movements prior to the 19th Century that were pro Qur'an only? What literature is available about these movements?
I am so hungry to know the truth. When I discovered Qur'an only Muslims, I felt as if a weight I had been carrying for so long (5 years) had been lifted.
