ALL WE NEED TO KNOW AND PREPARE FOR EIDUL FITIR

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 28th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Sunday 7th April 2024).

*_ALL WE NEED TO KNOW AND PREPARE FOR EIDUL FITIR_*. BismilLaah. 

 

EIDUL-FITR is celebrated on the first day of Shaw'waal, at the completion of RAMADHAN, which may be Tuesday or Wednesday subject to moon sighting in Shaa ALLAH. The Eid-al-Fitr is a very joyous day; it is a true Thanksgiving Day for the believing men and women. On this day we Muslims show our real joy for the health, strength and the opportunities of life, which ALLAH has given to us to fulfill our obligation of fasting and other good deeds during the blessed month of Ramadan. Zakaatul fitir that we offer to the poor to enable them enjoy like us is to also mend any errors we made during our 29/30 days Fasting.


Sunnahs of Eid day. Wake up early. 

Prepare for personal cleanliness, take care of details of clothing, etc. Take a Ghusl (spiritual bath) after Fajr. Brush your teeth. Dress up, putting on best clothes available, whether new or cleaned old ones. Use perfume (men only). Have breakfast on Eid-al-Fitr before leaving for prayer ground. Pay your Zakaat-al-Fitr before Salaat-al-Eid, meaning you should offer it up to the early morning of eid day before going for Eid else after Eid salaat, it's not considered zakaatul fitir. Go to prayer ground early. Offer Salaat-al-Eid in congregation in an open place except when weather is not permitting like rain etc. Use two separate route to and from the prayer ground. No sunnah salaat on the ground of eid. Recite the following Takbir on the way to Salaat and until the beginning of Salaat-al-Eid: 


Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar.. Laa ila-ha ill-lal-lah. Allahu-Akbar, Allahu-Akbar. Wa-lilahill hamd. 

(ALLAH is great, ALLAH is great. There is none worthy of worship except ALLAH. ALLAH is great, ALLAH is great. And all praises are for ALLAH). To be continued tomorrow on how to offer the eid Salaat in shaa ALLAH. *_May ALLAH accept our ibaadaat (acts of worship) and forgive our shortcomings_*. Aameen.

KNOWING ALLAH THROUGH HIS NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 12th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1444AH (Thursday, 1st June, 2023). *_KNOWING ALLAH THROUGH HIS NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES _*. BismilLah.  The first and most significant pillar of imaan (faith) in Islam is belief in ALLAH. As Muslims, we believe in ALLAH in accordance with HIS beautiful names and attributes. ALLAH has revealed HIS names repeatedly in the Holy Quran primarily for us to understand who HE is. Learning and memorizing the names of ALLAH will help us to identify the correct way to believe in HIM. There is nothing more sacred and blessed than understanding the names of ALLAH and living by them. How do we expect to worship, love, fear, and trust our Lord, The Almighty ALLAH, if we don’t know who HE is? ALLAH says in the Quran: And to ALLAH belong the best names, so invoke HIM by them.. (Quran 7:180). ALLAH, there is no deity except HIM. To HIM belongs the best names. (Quran 20:8). HE is ALLAH, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to HI
