Did you know?
The
only two festivals a Muslim is permitted to celebrate are the two Eid’s?(Eid al
Fitr and
Eid al Adha) |
‘Eid al Fitr. A time of celebrations. A time where family and friends get together. It is a day of food and drink after observing the thirty or twenty nine days of Ramadan.
But this is just a summarized understanding. As mentioned in my previous article Islam is a holistic way of life. It goes without saying then, that ‘Eid al Fitr is so much more. Whilst there is much information about Fasting and Ramadan, we know very little about the etiquettes of ‘Eid – what we are recommended to do on this day and what is obligatory for us to do. Below is a brief list of some of the prescribed practices of ‘Eid.
- It is established from the companion Ibn ‘Umar, that he used to bath on the morning of ‘Eid
- It is known that the companion Ibn ‘Umar would also dressed in his best clothes for the two ‘Eids
- It is compulsory on all adult sane Muslims to pray the ‘Eid prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded everyone including women, children and the elderly to attend. Even menstruating women should go to the place of congregation so that they may partake in the blessings
- It is Sunnah to eat dates before one leaves for the ‘Eid prayer to show openly that the Muslim is not fasting on this day
- It is Sunnah to say the Takbeer loudly when s/he is leaving the home to go the the ‘Eid prayer and repeat this until the prayer starts
- It is preferable to pray the ‘Eid prayer on open ground and not in the masjid (mosque) if possible
- Neither the Adhan nor Iqamah (calls to prayer) are said for the ‘Eid prayer
In Qatar, if you are up early enough, you may get to see the Muslims walking to the ‘Eid prayer.
Zakat ul Fitr – the obligatory charity tax after Ramadan
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) enjoined Zakat al-fitr as purification for those who fasted from idle or obscene talk, and so as to feed the poor. He (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) made it incumbent upon the slave and free Muslims, male or female to pay one sa’a of dates or barley to the poor before the ‘Eid prayer.
Zakat al-Fitr must be food and not money. In terms of measurement, one sa’a is equivalent to approximately 3 kilograms of whatever is the staple food in the country the Muslim resides in.

What to say on the day of ‘Eid
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would say the Takbeer loudly when travelling to go to the ‘Eid prayer. Allah says and what means: “(He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Most Great)] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him” [al-Baqarah 2:185]
“that you must magnify Allah” means venerating Him in your hearts and on your lips, by pronouncing the Takbeer.
So on the morning of ‘Eid you may hear the Muslims venerate: Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allah, Alahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa Lillaahi’l-hamd (Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no god except Allah, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, and all praise be to Allah).
How to congratulate on ‘Eid
Muslims congratulate one another on the day of ‘Eid by saying, “Taqaballa Allahu mina wa minkum" (may Allah accept from you and us).
It
is natural for anyone to look forward to a celebration, a party – if you
will, and the Muslim is no different. It is clear that ‘Eid is a day where the Muslim continues to exalt Allah, the One
God.

So what if ‘Eid falls on a Friday?
If ‘Eid prayer falls on the same day as the Friday prayer, then whoever chooses to pray the ‘Eid prayer, it is not obligatory for him to pray the Friday prayer. Rather Friday prayer becomes recommended (a Sunnah) for him. However, it is obligatory for the Imam of the community to pray both the ‘Eid prayer and the Friday prayer. He cannot leave off Friday prayer because those who choose to pray Friday prayer need an Imam.
Gratitude on ‘Eid - a day to say thank you
