What to Do on the Day of `Eid |
On
the day of `Eid, there are some Sunnah acts that we should do, among
which are the following:
-
Engage in takbir (saying “Allahu akbar”) from fajr until the
imam comes out for salah. Takbir is recommended for males, females,
young and old.
-
It is also important to make sure to pay zakat-ul-fitr before the
salah. Ideally, it should be given in advance so that the poor can
enjoy their `Eid.
-
Appear in the best clean clothes dress that you can afford to, that
are reasonable and modest.
-
It is recommended to go early to the prayer place.
-
And most importantly, to wish every one the joy of `Eid and show
true signs of Islamic brotherhood by shaking hands and embracing and
supplicating: “Taqabal Allahu Minna wa Minkum” (May Allah accept
it from us and you).
-
It is also considered a good Islamic practice to visit one another
and exchange gifts. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
said: "Exchange gifts in order to foster love."
-
Remember the true spirit of `Eid is reflected in our extreme
generosity to the poor and the needy. So, be charitable as best as you
can.
-
Make lots of istighfar (asking Allah for forgiveness) and pray that
Allah accept our fast, prayers and devotion, and may He grant the
Ummah glory and success
