DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arbaà, 27th day of Ramadhan (Wednesday 20th May, 2020). ALL WE NEED TO KNOW AND PREPARE FOR EIDUL FITIR WITH COVID19. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
EID-UL-FITR is celebrated on the first day of Shaw'waal, at the completion of RAMADHAN which is likely to be Saturday or Sunday subject to moon sightings on Friday in Shaa ALLAH. Shaw'waal is the 10th month of the Islamic calendar. The Eid-al-Fitr is a very joyous day; it is a true Thanksgiving Day for the believing men and women. On this day we Muslims show our real joy for the health, strength and the opportunities of life, which ALLAH has given to us to fulfill our obligation of fasting and other good deeds during the blessed month of Ramadhan.
On the eid day please wake up early.
Prepare for personal cleanliness, take care of details of clothing, etc. Take a Ghusl (bath). Brush your teeth. Dress up, putting on best clothes available, whether new or cleaned old ones. Use perfume (men only). Have breakfast before the salaat. Pay your Zakaat-al-Fitr before Salaat-al-Eid, meaning you can offer it from today or early morning before the Eid salaat else after Eid, it's not considered zakaatul fitir.
Unfortunately due to the covid19 lockdown, some of us may not be able to offer eid in congregation but AlhamdulilLah we are permitted to offer it with our family at home but without the khutbah. Its 2 rakaats but in the first rakaat, you say Takbir (AllahuAkbar) 7 times before reciting Faatihah and any suurah or verses then in the second rakaat you say 6 Takbir before Faatihah and suurah. This method is the opinion of Imam Maalik and the method Saudi Arabia uses but there are other acceptable number of takbirs from the other imams so don't criticise any other method please.
May ALLAH accept our ibaadaat (acts of worship) and grant us laylatulqadar by HIS Mercy. Aameen.
