Long to get up for Muslim festival (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eid

'muslim festival' is the definition.
(Islamic term for festival, eg Eid al-Fitr)

'long to get up' is the wordplay.
'long' becomes 'die' (to long for or to die for something is to crave it).
'to get up' is a reversal indicator.
'die' in reverse letter order is 'EID'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eid that I've seen before include "religious festival" , "feast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
