HOW TO OFFER EID PRAYER

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 29th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Monday 8th April 2024). *_HOW TO OFFER EID PRAYER_* BismilLaah.


Ibn Abbass (ra) reported: " I participated in the Eid-ul-Fitr prayer with the Messenger of ALLAH (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), Abu Bakr (ra), Umar (ra) and Uthman (ra), and all of them held Eid prayer before Khutbah, and then the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) delivered the Khutbah (sermon). (Narrated by Imam Muslim).


Who should go to the prayer ground & offer Eid Prayer: Umm Atiyah (ra) reported: "The Messenger of ALLAH (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) commanded us to bring out on Eid-al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adha, young women, hijab-observing adult women and the menstruating women. The menstruating women stayed out of actual Salaat but participated in good deeds and Duaa (supplication). I (Umm Atiyah) said to the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam): Oh! Messenger of ALLAH, one does not have an outer garment. He replied: Let her sister cover her with her garment."(Narrated by Imam Muslim).

 

On the Eid day, every believing man, woman and child must go to the prayer ground and participate in this joyous occasion. 


Structure of Eid prayer:

Eid prayer is wajib (strongly recommended, just short of fard,  obligatory). It must be offered in congregation. The prayer is followed by the Khutbah. 

The Khutbah is part of the worship and listening to it is Sunnah. During the Khutbah, the Imam must remind the community about its responsibilities and obligations towards ALLAH, fellow Muslims and the fellow human beings. The Imam must encourage the Muslims to do good and ward off evil. The Muslim community must also be directed to the state of the community and the Ummah at large and the feelings of sacrifice and Jihaad should be aroused in the community. At the conclusion of the prayer we Muslims should convey greetings to each other, give reasonable gifts to the youngsters and visit each other at their homes. Muslims should also take this opportunity to invite their non-Muslims neighbors, co-workers, classmates and business acquaintances to Eid festivities to expose them to Islam and Muslim culture.


We should avoid any haraam means of celebration and should avoid going back to our sins else we end up wasting our 30 days fasting waeeyaazubillah. *_We ask ALLAH to keep guiding us all and reward our little efforts_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

As Time passes
