Shaykh Dr Umar Al-Qadri is the chair of the Irish Muslim Peace and Integration Council and an Islamic Theologian.
He explained that Eid is an extremely happy celebration for Dublin Muslims, a time to spend with family.
He said: "Today is the day of Eid Al-Fitr. Muslims celebrate two celebrations throughout the year- Al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adha.
"Today marks the end of the month of Ramadan- the most holiest month in the Islamic calendar. Muslims have been fasting for 30 days during day hours and spending the nights at the mosque praying in reflection and contemplation.
"Now, after giving charity to the poor and needy, we are coming together to celebrate the day of Eid.
"It is a day of celebration and joy, a day of happiness. Muslims, globally are coming together in mosques.
"It starts with the prayer in the morning and then they will spend the whole day with the family, eating a lot of sweets and exchanging many gifts.
"It's a time that children are very excited for because they'll be getting their gifts.
"It's much like Christmas for the Muslims."
One Dublin mother leaving prayers in the mosque told Dublin Live: "I've known this mosque for 15 years. You're very comfortable coming here because you can go to the restaurant with your family.
"When we were small kids, our mum would say that you have 12 months in the year but one month should be for the god.
"We will go to other people's houses to say hello and then we will have special food- Biryani.
"I'll stay at home with my husband and kids."
Friends Adila and 11-year-old Sofia were looking forward to a special dinner and time to catch up.
Adila said: "We fasted for a month and we are here for the prayers. We have been here for the whole month of Ramadan. After that, we are getting all together with friends and family to have a dinner."
Mohsin said that having a community in Dublin to celebrate with was extremely important and was excited for the rest of the festivities.
He said: "It's a happy, joyful day. We start with prayers to give thanks to Allah. It's a big gathering as well.
"After that, we eat sweets and a cup of Chai tea. Community is really really important. We all came from different parts of the world but the one thing in common is that unity.
"There is a lot of stress going around so we aren't going to miss a small bit of celebrations!
"It's important to the new generation as well so that they don't feel everything is a pressure. There is always space for happiness."
