As narrated by Abdullah bin Umar, ‘Allah’s Apostle used to offer the prayer of Eid-ul-Adha and Eid-ul-Fitr and then deliver the Khutbah after the prayer’. (Fathul-Bari)Įid Salaah must not be missed, as it is a fundamental part of the Eid festivities. It was narrated by Jubayr ibn Nufayr (ra), that the Sahabah (ra) used to greet each other on the day of Eid with: ‘Taqabbal Allaahu Minnaa Wa Minka’, which means ‘May Allah accept (the fast and worship) from us and from you’. However, a better way to greet each other is to take the example of the Sahabah (ra). On Eid day, we often congratulate each other with greetings such as ‘Eid Mubarak’. (Bukhari) The reasoning behind this is so that on The Day of Judgement the two paths will testify that you attended this salah. La Ilaaha Illallahu Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa Lillahil Hamd’Īs narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah, ‘On the Day of Eid, the Prophet (saw) used to return after offering the Eid prayer through a way different from that by which he went'. On the way to the masjid, Takbeer ul-Eid should be recited softly. Zakat al-Fitr (R50 per person) is compulsory on all members of your household, including children and the elderly, and cannot be made up for if neglected. It is important that we remember to pay Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) before the start of Eid prayers. In many cultures, parents will buy their children new clothes for Eid to celebrate and spread joy on a special occasion.
It was customary for Prophet Muhammed (saws) and the early companions to wear their best clothes on the two Eids. Just as our Prophet Muhammad (saw) applied Attar (perfume) on Eid occasions, men are also encouraged to do the same, to create a pleasant aura in the Masjid. Our Prophet (saw) did not set out on the day of Eid until he had eaten an odd number of dates, and we should follow His example.
We are encouraged to do the same and, in doing so, we make sure that gatherings and family festivities are a clean and enjoyable affair.įor Eid ul-Fitr, it is Sunnah to eat some dates before the prayer so as not to extend the fast. Ibn ’Abbas narrated, ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to have a bath on the day of Fitr’. (As-Suyuti)Īs Muslims, cleanliness is a fundamental part of our religion. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘There are five nights on which du’a is not rejected: the first night of Rajab, the fifteenth night of Sha`ban, Thursday night, the night before Eid al-Fitr and the night before Eid al-Nahr (al-Adha)’. To make the most of this joyous day, we have put together a list of 12 things you should do to ensure you follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (saws) on a joyous day! Many of us will have already started to decorate our houses, buy Eid gifts for our loved ones and order our new Eid outfits. We all look forward to the joyous occasion of Eid-Ul-Fitr after successfully observing the blessed month of Ramadan.
