Eid an ocassion of happiness and care 2016

The concept of Eid is attached with happiness and happiness comes from success.  Success is not what we declare as success.  Success is in fact that which Allaah Ta’aalaa states is success.

The count of days of the month of Ramadaan, are completing. Laielatul Jaa’izah (first new moon of the night of Shawwaal) is coming.

Did we make Allaah Taa’aalaa Jalla Shaanuhu and the holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) happy?

Are our respected parents happy with us?

Have we fulfilled our duties related to religion (Ieemaani), family (khaandaani), humanity (Insaani) and morality (Akhlaaqi)?

In this holy month of Ramadaan, the blessed guest of Allaah Kareem, did we work hard to make ourselves worth of salvation (maghfirat)?

What is happiness?

How do we get happiness?

We are lost in the crowd, we have lost our language (zabaan), tradition (tahzeeb), culture (saqaafat), values(aqdaar) and customs (riwaayaat), infact we have lost our identity. We have turned our faces away from our culture.

Do we really deserve to celebrate any kind of happiness?

But still the doors of repentance (taubah) has not closed on us, we should not lose hope in Allaah Kareem’s countless blessings.

Yes! We have to make this promise that the training (tarbiyyat), piety (taqwaa), cleanliness (tazkiyyah) and goodness (naykee) we have gained in the month of Ramadaan, we have to continue this throughout the year and also we will spend our lives in pleasing Allaah Kareem and the beloved holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).

We sincerely hope that our Rabb e Kareem will not look at our sins but with HIS blessings HE  will not disappoint us, and surely will reward us.

Without a doubt, it is Eid for him whom Allaah Kareem rewards.

Allaah Kareem made us the follower of Rasool e Kareem (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), and honored us with the title of ‘the best nation’ (Khaier ul Umam). In the name of the holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) may HE bestow on us the real happiness of Eid.

Before greeting you on this occasion of Eid ul Fitr, I Kaukab Noorani Okarvi (Ghufira Lahu)  most humble, nothing more than a speck of dust would like to ask for forgiveness for all my mistakes and shortcomings in my attitude.

Allaah Kareem bless you with real Eid and real happiness.

EID MUBAARAK!

Eid Mubaarak Eid ul Fitr

Eid ul Fitr - We should not forget them our fellow Muslim families. How will they be celebrating this year?

We should not forget them our fellow Muslim families. How will they be celebrating this year? The people of Palestine Chechnya, Kashmir, Afghanistan and all those who lost their loved one due to terrorists attacks all over the world and people  who suffer throughout the year due to injustice.

These people are probably the last ones on our minds as we rush to finish our last minute gift shopping, pick out our outfit or decorate the house for the special occasion. While much of Eid is focused on how to make the holiday happy and special, especially for our children, we cannot neglect to share the pain of others on this day.

These are the people for whom Eid will mean settling into a refugee camp not decorating their homes. For thousands of them, Eid will mean trying desperately to find food for the day, not preparing a special meal for the family.

Also, don't forget to make Dua as an individual on Eid day, thanking Allaah Kareem for His blessings while praying for people suffering everywhere. Another way of sharing the pain and trying to help is by arranging to send gifts and sweets. Some relief organizations have programs in place to provide orphans, for instance, with new clothes, a gift and sweets on Eid day.

Sunnah of Holy Prophet on the Eid Day [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam]

To eat an odd number of dates or anything sweet on the day of Eid ul Fitr.

To give Sadqah ul Fitr

To go to the place of Eid Salaah early

To use different routes to and from the place of Eid Salaah

To walk to the place of Eid Salaah (If it is within walking distance because every step is reward)

Eid Mubaarak

Sunnah of Prophet(SAWW) on Eid Day

To frequently read the Takbeers [Allaahu Akbar]

to show happiness and gratification, to walk modestly towards the Eid gathering, and to wish and congratulate one another after the Eid Prayer.
As much as Eid is a time of rejoicing, it is also a time of giving and sharing with those less fortunate than yourself. The Holy Prophet [Peace Be Upon Him] would always be the first to congratulate the poor and the orphans. We should also try to be as kind as possible on this day to our fellow Muslims. The Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] has stated, "Smiling in the face of your brother is Charity."
