(Eid Mubarak)
The meaning and teaching of Eid-ul-Fitr
How many hundreds of deserts in the desert,
How many eyes on how many shelves - streams go,
Eid came after years!
(Kazi Nazrul Islam)
Eid is one of the official festivals that show the existence of Muslims. The word 'Eid' is Arabic. Which emanates from Awad. It literally means to turn around, to return. Eid in the conventional sense means joy or happiness. Since this joyous year comes back, Eid has been named as 'Eid'. Eid is the main tool of the national cultural consciousness of Muslims. Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha are two festivals celebrated annually.
The way Eid begins
According to the history of Islam, the people of Madinah used to observe two festivals called 'Nowruz' in the autumn full moon and 'Meherjan' in the spring full moon from the pre-Islamic period. Which was incompatible with Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) narrated from Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he said: What are these two days? The Companions replied, "In the age of ignorance, we used to play sports or rejoice on these two days." Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Allaah has given you two better days to express your happiness instead of the above two days, one of which is Eid al-Adha and the other is Eid al-Fitr. ' Since then, two Eid ceremonies have been celebrated in Islamic law.
Introduction to Eid
The month of Sawal arrives on the first day of the tenth lunar year after the holy month of Ramadan, the most glorious and rewarding month. The curved moon of Sawal carries a bunch of slogans of the joyous festival of the believing Muslims
Eid Eid Eid Eid!
Hey! Happy Eid!
You say you will come
No sleep in the eyes.
In other words, after a long month of holy fasting, on the first day of Sawwal, the festival that the framer of Islamic law has set for Muslims is Eid-ul-Fitr. In the words of our national poet Nazrul - ‘Happy Eid at the end of that Ramadan fast.’ On the other hand, the final month of the lunar year is Jilhaj. The festival that is celebrated by slaughtering animals on the tenth day of this month is Eid-ul-Adha or Eid-ul-Adha. The declaration of both Eids was issued by Alam (peace be upon him) in the year 2 AH.
The significance of Eid-ul-Fitr
The significance of Eid-ul-Fitr is immense in many ways. The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in this regard are noteworthy. He said, “When the day of Eid-ul-Fitr comes, Allah Almighty is the one who has fasted; He praised the angels about them and said, "O my angels, you used to say! What should a worker who performs his job fully deserve? The angels answered, O Lord! He deserves full remuneration. The angels, my servants, have performed the duty directed towards them, and even went out for the Eid (obligatory) prayers while praying. In this case, I swear by my majesty, glory, high status and high position, I will certainly answer their prayers. Then Allah declares His servants to be pure; You go back, "I have forgiven you and turned your common sins into virtue. The Beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Then they return (to the house) in a state of forgiveness.” (Attargib waat Tarheeb) The virtue and significance of Eid al-Fitr is narrated from Hazrat Saeed Ansari (may Allaah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: On the day of Eid al-Fitr, the angels of Allaah come down to the streets and stand in the streets shouting, “Muslims! Hurry to God. He accepts your small acts of worship and bestows innumerable virtues on you. You have been commanded to fast, and you have observed it properly. You have worshiped Allah even while awake at night. So go and receive from him the reward of your worship. (Tabarani) In the hadith Qudsi, Allah says - "Fasting is for me and I will repay it myself." This announcement of Allah Ta'ala on the day of Eid is a burning proof of it Eid is not only joy, but also worship. In this regard, Hazrat Abu Umama (R) said, "Whoever worships on the night of Eid with faith and waking up for the sake of thawab, his heart will be free from the horrors of the Day of Resurrection." It is narrated from Muaz bin Jabal (R). Heaven is obligatory for one who worships for five nights. The nights are the nights of the eighth, ninth and tenth of the month of Jilhaj, the night of Eid-ul-Fitr and the night of the fifteenth of Shaban, i.e. Shabe Baraat. This is how the greatness, importance and significance of Eid-ul-Fitr can be understood
Eid-ul-Fitr: We have to do and teach
Ramadan is going to see. Eid is coming. How happy everyone is! The mind dances with joy. But every now and then the question arises in the mind of the believer, am I saved? What is my place in the canopy of mercy? I have been able to achieve the blessings of appreciation? How much?
‘Eid’ is an Arabic word, meaning joy, happiness, celebration. The key word is ain-wao-dal. That is to come back again and again. Among the Muslims, this festival has been named Eid because it comes back again and again. After a tiring journey in the desert for a long month, ‘Abe Zamzam’ is like Eid of fasting. Instead of the subculture of ignorance, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prescribed two annual Eids for rejoicing in Islamic law (Abu Dawood Sharif).
As soon as the moon of Shawwal is seen, the level of joy intensifies all around. There is a happy mood everywhere. No one wants to be so lacking in preparation for Eid. The majority of Muslims spend the night preparing for Eid. What is supposed to happen? No. The first night of Shawwal i.e. the night of Eid is not as common as the other eight to ten nights. Who says ‘awesome’! Why? Because Allah Ta'ala has fixed five special nights for the Ummah Muhammadi. On those nights no one's prayer fails. One of them is the night of Eid-ul-Fitr (Musannaf Abdur Razzak, Fatwa Shami).
On the day of Eid-ul-Fitr, before the time of Zuhr, it is obligatory to perform 2 rak'ats of prayers with 8 takbeers in congregation. There are some circumcisions on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr. Which is important for all of us to know.
1. Waking up in the morning to misswalk.
2. Bathing before prayers.
3. Using perfume.
4. Wearing holy and clean clothes.
5. Distribute good food in proportion to one's ability.
6. Eating sweets before going to Eidgah or mosque.
7. Performing 'Sadaqatul Fitr' before Eid prayers.
8. Going one way while going to Eidgah and coming another way when returning.
9. If possible, go to Eidgah on foot.
10. Performing Eid prayers at Eidgah.
11. While going to Eidgah, one should recite Tashrik in Takbeer at the same time
Happy Eid has come
‘O mind, happy Eid has come at the end of that Ramadan fast ...’. If the moon of Hijri Shawwal is seen in the sky of Bangladesh on Tuesday evening, June 4, 29 Ramadan, then the holy Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated all over the country on Wednesday, June 5. However, if the new moon is not seen in the sky today, Eid will be celebrated on Thursday, the next day, after completing 30 days of fasting. Eid Mubarak! On the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, the President and the Prime Minister greeted the people.
The final decision on Eid will be announced after reviewing the moon sighting data across the country at a meeting of the National Moon Sighting Committee this evening. State Minister for Religion Alhaj Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah will preside over the meeting to be held at the Islamic Foundation auditorium at the National Mosque Baitul Mukarram.
The three-day Eid holiday has started from today. Millions of people have been rushing to the village for Eid for a few days to celebrate Eid with their relatives. The capital Dhaka is now very empty.
Eid means joy. Eid means happy. One of the meanings of Fitr is to break. Eid-ul-Fitr means the joy of ending Ramadan. That is, after a long month of fasting, Tarabi prayers, Zakat-Fitra, the Muslim Ummah breaks the fast and joins in the joyous festival as a token of gratitude for the special blessings of Allah Ta'ala. This joy is the joy of success in the end. The joy of receiving this joy. This joy is the joy of success in attaining taqwa of Allah. Even then, the joy of Eid turned into a social and state festival. So this joy became universal.
At the end of a month-long fast, the unending joy of Eid brings an unearthly feeling. This joy is a unique spiritual feeling of peace and liberation for the afterlife. Therefore, as soon as the new moon of Shawwal is seen at the end of Ramadan of Mercy, Forgiveness and Salvation, the tide of happiness flows in the body and mind of every fasting person. This joy spread among everyone, rich and poor, big and small. Eid joy rocks every soul. Eid-ul-Fitr is the largest religious and national festival of Muslims worldwide. The day is also blessed for Muslims. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) introduced Eid, the guide for the liberation of humanity. According to the hadiths of Bukhari and Muslim Sharif, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Every nation has a day of celebration. And our festival is Eid. 'Muslims have been celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr since the second year of Hijri.
The importance of Eid-ul-Fitr in PBA
The origin of Eid is from the word Awd. Eid means joy, happiness, merriment, merriment, celebration etc. Fitr means breaking the fast, natural or normal. Eid-ul-Fitr means being happy to return to normal life after a period of strict fasting.
The money or food that is distributed among the poor and needy on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr is called Sadaqatul-Fitr. It is obligatory on every able-bodied man and woman to pay Sadaqatul Fitr. Sadaqatul Fitr is called the Kaffa of Ramadan. On the other hand, this arrangement is to ensure that the needy people are not deprived of the joy of Eid due to starvation on the day of Eid.
Eid is an annual conference and celebration of the Muslim nation. Every nation in the world has certain days of the year for celebrations. Similarly, there are two days in a year for the celebration of Muslims. One is Eid-ul-Fitr and the other is Eid-ul-Azhar. Eid after Ramadan is called Eid-ul-Fitr. And the Eid festival celebrated on the occasion of Hajj in the month of Jilhaj is called Eid-ul-Azha.
Importance of Eid-ul-Fitr: It is obligatory to perform Eid prayers. Those who do not perform the Eid prayers must be sinners.
Eid comes at the doorstep of the Muslim world with the message of annual joy, the opportunity to mourn unlimited love, to forget all the pains of the past, the gift of welfare and peace.
The inspiration for the establishment of an Islamic society lies in the great assembly that Allah has arranged for the Muslims through the Eid prayers two days a year. It is a special practice to develop the spirit, humanity and humanity to rid the society of filth.
