Eid ul
Fitr
marks the end of the month of Ramadhan.
We say farewell to the blessed
month, its beautiful days
and its fragrant nights
and its fragrant nights
"O people!
Verily this day of yours is the
day when the righteous are awarded and the wretched are losers. It is a day
which is similar to the one on which you shall be standing (before your Lord).
Therefore, when you come out of your homes to go to places of your prayer,
remind yourselves about the day when you (your souls) shall come out of your
bodies to go to your Lord. When you stand on places of your prayer, remind
yourselves of your standing in presence of your Lord (on the day of Judgment).
And when you return to your homes (after prayer), remind yourselves about your
returning to your homes in Paradise.
O
Servants of Allah! Verily the minimum reward for those men and women who fasted
(during Ramadhan), is an Angel, who calls out to them on the last day of the
month of Ramadhan (saying): O Servants of Allah! Rejoice the Glad Tiding that
all your previuos sins have been forgiven . Therefore, watch out in those
things which serve as your re-creation (on this day and days to follow)"
EID A’Aamal & Salaat
1. Recite Takbeeraat
(Allah
is Great . Allah is Great . There is no god save Allah. And Allah is Great.

takes care of us and looks after our interests.)

|
2. Give Zakaat-e-Fitra,
which is 3
kilograms of the item commonly eaten per person in the house and it is better
give it before Eed Salaat This is an emphasized Waajib, it is a means of
acceptance of our A’amaal during Ramadhan Month and it is also a safeguard against
death.
3. Make Ghusl.
Recite this before it:
O
Allah, believing in Thee, fully aware of Thy Book, following the way of life
of Thy Prophet Muhammad, Allah's blessings be on him and on his children, (I
take bath).
|
allahumma emanan bika wa tasdedan
bikitabika wattiba`a sunnati nabiyyika muhammadin salla allahu `layhi wa
alihi
|
اللّهُمّ إِيمَاناً بِكَ وَتَصْدِيقاً بِكِتَابِكَ
وَاتّبَاعَ سُنّةِ نَبِيّكَ مُحَمّدٍ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ.
|
Then recite Bismillaah… and start making Ghusl, after
finishing ghusl, recite this
O
Allah let me make amends and compensate for my wrong doings, (so that) my
religion becomes pure and O Allah remove the dirt from me.
|
allahumma ij`alhu kaffarattan lidhunube
wa tahhir dene allahumma adh-hib `anniya alddanasa
|
اللّهُمّ اجْعَلْهُ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِي
وَطَهّرْ دِينِي. اللّهُمّ أَذْهِبْ عَنّي الدّنَس
|
4. Recite Ziarat of Imam Husayn(as) Qadr
& Idd
Special Ziarat on Idd
5. Recite Duaa-e-Nudbaa.
Sayyid Ibn Tawus has
instructed, saying: After recitation of the Du`a'
al-Nudbah, prostrate yourself and say the following:
أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارٍ حَرّهَا لا يُطْفأُ
|
a`udhu bika min
narin harruha la yutfa'u
|
I seek refuge with Thee from the Fire
whose hot flames do not get extinguished or grow dim,
|
وَجَدِيدُهَا لا يَبْلَى
|
wa jadeduha la
yabla
|
whose energetic intensity does not loose
its severity,
|
وَعَطْشَانُهَا لا يُرْوَى.
|
wa `atshanuha la
yurwa
|
wherein parched throats never get
quenched.
|
You may then
put your right cheek on the ground and say the following:
O
Allah do not throw me down head on into the Fire after I have prostrated in
adoration before Thee and thrown myself on the ground to humble myself before
Thee; it is not a show of favour from me unto Thee but it is (Thy) merciful
benevolence Thou bestows on me.
|
ilahe

|
إِلهِي لا تُقَلّبْ وَجْهِي فِي النَّارِ
بَعْدَ سُجُودِي وَتَعْفِيرِي لَكَ بِغَيْرِ مَنّ مِنّي
عَلَيْكَ بَلْ لَكَ الْمَنّ عَلَيّ.
|
You may then
put your left cheek on the ground and say the following:
Have
mercy on him who has transgressed and committed blunders, (but) now ashamed
surrenders (to Thee) to receive absolution.
|
irham
man asa'a waqtarafa wastakana wa`tarafa
|
ارْحَمْ مَنْ أَسَاءَ وَاقْتَرَفَ
وَاسْتَكَانَ وَاعْتَرَفَ.
|
You may then
return to the (ordinary) prostration and say the following:
I
am a troublesome servant but Thou art the bountiful Lord-Nourisher. A great
many mistakes have been committed by Thy servant but O Compassionate, from
Thee (only) Lenient treatment is expected.
|
in
kuntu bi'sa al`abdu fa anta ni`ma alrrabbu `azuma aldhdhanbu min `abdika
falyahsun al`afwa min `indika ya karemu
|
إِنْ كُنْتُ بِئْسَ الْعَبْدُ فَأَنْتَ
نِعْمَ الرّبّ، عَظُمَ الذّنْبُ مِنْ عَبْدِكَ فَلْيَحْسُنِ الْعَفْوُ مِنْ
عِنْدِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ.
|
You may then
repeat the following one hundred times:
(I plead for) pardon; (I plead for)
pardon.
|
al`afwa al`afwa
|
اَلْعَفْوَ، اَلْعَفْوَ
|
Sayyid Ibn
Tawus, then, adds, “Do not spend this day with entertainment and negligence
while you do not know whether your deeds have been accepted or rejected.
Rather, if you hope of acceptance of your deeds, you must show thanks; and if
you anticipate rejection, you must be intensely sad.”
6. Recite Eed-Salaat.
It is recommended not to leave
one’s house for joining the congregational Eid al-Fitr Prayer before sunrise.
It is also recommended to say the supplications that have been mentioned by
Sayyid Ibn Tawus in “Iqbal al-A`mal”. One of these supplications is that Abu-Hamzah al-Thumali has reported Imam Muhammad
al-Baqir (a.s) as saying, “Whey you ready yourself for joining the
congregational Friday Prayers and the Eid Prayers, you may say the following
supplication:
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ تَهَيّا فِي هٰذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ
|
allahumma

|
O

|
The Eid Prayer (Salat al-`«d) consists of two Rak`ahs. In
the first Rak`ah, one may recite Surah of al-Fatihah and Surah Al
A'ala Mp3(No. 87).
After the recitation of these Surahs, one may say the takbeer statement (i.e. allahu-akbar) five times and raise the hands for the Qunut after each takbeer, saying as below:
You may then say the takbeer for the sixth time, and do the
genuflection (ruku`), and prostrate yourself (sujud). When you
stand up for the second Rak`ah, recite Surah of al-Fatihahand Surah 91 As
Shams Mp3
and then say the takbeer four times only raising the hands for
the Qunut after each takbeer After that, say the fifth takbeer and continue the prayer.
اللّهُمّ أَهْلَ
الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ،

|
I beseech You in the name of this day,
which You have decided to be feast for the Muslims,
|
وَلِمُحَمّدٍ صَلَّى

And to be safety and increasing honor for
Muhammad—peace of Allah be upon him and his Household—
|
أَنْ تُصَلّيَ عَلَى
مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ
|
an
tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
|
(I beseech You) that You may send
blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
|
وَأَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي
فِي كُلّ خَيْرٍ أَدْخَلْتَ فِيهِ مُحَمّداً وَآلَ مُحَمّدٍ،

وَعَلَيْهِمْ.
|
salawatuka
`alayhi wa `alayhim
|
May Your blessings be upon him and upon
them.
|
اللّهُمّ إِنّي
أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ،
|
allahumma

|
O Allah: I pray You for the best of all
that for which Your righteous servants have prayed You,
|
وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ
مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْهُ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ.
|
wa
a`udhu bika mimma ista`adha minhu `ibaduka alssalihuna
|
And I seek Your protection against all
that against which Your righteous servants have asked Your protection.
|
Narrations have mentioned many
supplications to be said after the `Eid Prayer; rather the best of them may be
the forty-fifth
supplication of al-Sahefah al-Kamilah
al-Sajjadiyyah.
It is recommended to offer the
Eid Prayer outdoors, directly on the ground without putting a carpet or any
other thing under the feet, to return from a way other than the one taken in
the coming, to pray Almighty Allah for accepting the acts of one’s
brethren-in-faith.
UPON COMPLETION OF THE HOLY MONTH
OF RAMADAN
The night of Eid ul fitr
is a majestic night. It is beneficial to keep awake for Ibadah as this night is
of equal importance as the night of Qadr. Eid must not just mark the ‘end’ of
Ramadhan. Rather, it should be a new beginning, where we emulate our character
and Islamic values, which we have focused upon for the past 30 days. We are
like a child out of the womb, pure and innocent. Eid is the day of victory as
we have succeeded in subduing our desires and purified ourselves. Lets not wash
away our good deeds and revert to our merry old ways. Let the masjid still
overflow with worshippers, let the Quran be the most essential part of our
lives instead of letting it gather dust on our shelves. Our condition should be
better than before Ramadhan month.
Eid is not just a ritual
that provides us with an excuse to enjoy ourselves. It represents important
values and participating in them, we seek to please the Almighty and attain
nearness to Him.
Eid al-Fitr is a great
day of festival for Muslims. It is a day of rejoicing and being happy. But for
whom? Is it the day of rejoicing for those who simply put on new clothes and
wear perfume? Or is it the day of being happy for those who were eagerly waiting
for the release of the greatest enemy of mankind, Satan, from his captivity so
that they all revert to committing sins? Unfortunately, many Muslims abstain
from sins during the month of Ramadhan, but come Eid, they go back to what they
were before! Cassettes of prayers, which were in their cars during the holy
month, are thrown back into their cases and replaced with those, which are
unlawful, by Shari'ah. The forbidden places from which they had abstained for
month long, are infact the same places they go to celebrate Eid.
Just as, when a person goes to a college, or a university and at the completion
of his course, he receives his award marking his achievement, we must
understand that, the holy month of Ramadhan is a spiritual university where we
are being trained to achieve Taqwa i.e. piety. The day of Eid al-Fitr is when Allah
(SWT) is awarding us for our achievements.
قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَائِدَةً
مِنَ السَّمَاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدًا لِأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِنْكَ
Qāla ‘Īsa-bnu
maryama allāhumma rabbanā anzil ‘alayjnā mā’idatam-minas-samā’i takūnu lanā
‘īdan li-awwalinā wa-ākhirana wa-āyatam-minka
Isa, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord
of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be an
Eid for us, for the first of us and for the last of us and as a sign from You.
.
Sūratul Mā’idah (No. 5), Āyat 114
The disciples of Nabi ‘Īsā (a) asked him to request Allah to send them food
from heaven. Nabi ‘Īsa (a) questions them about the motives of their request,
and when satisfied with their answers, he prays to Allah. He asks that Allah
send down food from Heaven for them, so that it should be an Eid for them. His
prayer is quoted in the above verse of the Holy Qur’an. The following questions
can be asked after reading the verse:
1. Why does Nabi ‘Īsa say it would be an Eid for them if the food came from
heaven?
2. What does the word Eid actually mean?
3. Is good food a condition for Eid?
In Tafsīr-e Namune, Ayatullah Makarim Shirazi explains what Eid really means.
The word Eid comes fromawada, meaning to return. For example, the day
when a nation becomes free of its difficulties and returns to its original
state of ease and comfort, it is a day of Eid for them. Nabi ‘Īsā (a) said it
would be a day of Eid for them because the witnessing of food being sent from
heaven would instill certainty and faith in the heart of the disciples. They
would then return to the original fitrat of the human being, in which there is no doubt and skepticism.
Eating good food is a manifestation of the happiness felt by the believer at
his return to the state of original purity.
The day of Eid thus has the following significances for the believer:
1) A return to purity: The original state of the soul of
the human beings is pure and tranquil. In the world a lot of dirt and
corruption changes it. When after a period of cleansing and purifying, it
returns to its original state, the day becomes an Eid for the human being. Thus
Eid-ul-Fitr is a return to original purity after the period of fasting and
worship during the month of Ramadan. Imam Ali (a) says: Every day that you do not commit a sin in is a day of Eid
for you. (MH, H. 14304)
2) A cause of happiness: The believer is happy that he has
been able to fulfill the commands of Allah and is promised the reward of
forgiveness and mercy. This gives great joy to his heart. The happiness is then
manifested in good clothes, delicious foods, and meeting with fellow believers.
Every believer rejoices on the day of Eid, for having being given the tawfīq and chance to worship and fast for
Allah. The happiness is not because the month has ended.
3) An occasion for gratitude. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an about completing the month
of fasting; . . . that you should
complete the number and exalt the greatness of Allah for His having guided you,
and that you may give thanks. (2:185): Believers are
grateful for the strength given to them by Allah to have fasted and prayed
during the holy month.
As you prepare for Eid feel happy and grateful for the right reasons. Then it
will truly be an Eid for you as ordained by Allah.
In the name of ALLAH; the
Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful :
