Ramadan Series
“Is there any reward for goodness except goodness?
(Qur’an 55:60)
﷽
First we would like to share the video by brother Hatim for Ramadan day 29. As people know Muslims use the lunar calendar. Thus, Ramadan is 29 or 30 days.
*Eid prayer and Sunan of Eid*
Firstly we send our greetings and congratulations for finishing this dense educational spiritual course which is Ramadan, now that it’s done we as Muslims should be happy in these blessed days of Eid, and a good quote we found: “Eid is exiting Ramadan not existing Islam”
Thus, we should always keep on remembering Allah and following the Sunnah of his Blessed Prophet (saw).
There are Sunnan and etiquettes we should follow for Eid:
– To give the obligatory Zakat Al fitr, which we mentioned its rulings prior
– Ghusl, brushing, and using perfumes and being in your best form
– Eating before going to prayer
– Walking to the Eid prayer location while changing the path when going and returning
– To perform the prayer outside the city in an outdoor prayer hall
– Saying the Takbir when going to pray
– Exchanging congratulations for the worship in ramadan and for Eid
– Visiting family
– Giving charity, bringing joy to kids, and Halal playing and singing
Some rulings related to Eid:
– It’s not allowed to fast Eid
– You should pray before Eid prayer or after, except if you did the Eid prayer in a mosque so you pray two Rak’as before sitting
– Greetings should be after prayer not before
– The outdoor prayer hall takes the ruling of a mosque
– All people can pray Eid prayer including women and children
How to perform Eid prayer:
– The time of the Eid prayer is the time of Duha, so after Sunrise, it should be delayed a bit so that people can give their Zakat Al Fitr
– The Eid prayer is two Rak’as and from the Sunnah is reading Al A’la first then Surat Al Ghashiyah in the second Rak’a
– No Adhan or Iqamah for Eid prayer
– When performing Eid prayer there are more Takbirs than normal prayers, even though scholars differ in their number but they are all correct by Allah’s will, here are some forms:
– 13 more Takbirs: 5 after Takbir Al Ihram, 5 after reciting in the second Rak’a and 3 after standing from the second Ruku’ (this is the most common in Oman)
– 13 more Takbirs: 6 after Takbir Al Ihram and 7 after reciting in the second Rak’a (Shaykh Ahmed Al Khalili’s choice)
– 12 more Takbirs: 7 after Takbir Al Ihram, 5 after standing for the second Rak’a (Shaykh Saeed Al Qannoobi’s choice)
– After the prayer, the Imam should stand and give a Khutbah(speech) that starts with thanking Allah while increasing Takbirs to give them advice for their religion and to remind them about Zakat Al Fitr
And when Allah spoke about Ramadan he said: (so that you may complete the prescribed period and proclaim the greatness of Allah for guiding you, and perhaps you will be grateful)
After finishing Ramadan
On the topic of Tazkiyah:
Alhamdulillah we mentioned the topics from the book (towards a longer life of faith) by Shaykh Naser Bin Said Al Azri
On the topic of Aqeeda:
We went through more than half the concept in the book (Explanation of Ghayat Al Murad poem) by Shaykh Ahmed Al Khalil
On the topic of Fiqh:
we mentioned around 29 different issues and topics related to prayer, fasting, Zakah and different types of worship.
insha’Allah we will continue the Aqeeda section until we finish the book.
May Allah accept this, and grant us sincerety in seeking knowledge.
May Allah Forgive the Ummah. May Allah Guide the Ummah.
