day for long time.
• He (SAW) told them, Allah (SWT) has given two
days which are better than these. You should
celebrate these days: Eidul Fitr and Eidul Adha
(Abu Dawood)

4. Every Ummah has Eid
Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! send us from
heaven a table set (with viands) that there may be for us for the

expressing gratitude to Allah
• And (He desires) that you should complete
the prescribed period and that you should
glorify Allah for having guided you and that
you may give thanks.(Al-Baqarah 2:185)
• Thank Almighty Allah, for He guided us to fast in
Ramadan
• He led us to do good deeds including Qiyam
• He helped us to recite and listen to the Qur'an.
• He is the One Who gave us the money to pay
Zakah ,Zakat al-fitr and other charities.

7. Experiencing joy and
rejoice
• Say, "In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy —
therein let them rejoice. It is better than what
they hoard. (Yunus 10:58)
• Those who fast will have two times at which
they will feel happy: When they break their fast,
they feel happy for breaking the fast, and when
they meet their Lord, they will be happy
because of their fast"(Bukhari and Muslim)
• Ramadan is a test from Almighty Allah.
• At the end of the month, we experience a great
sense of achievement and closeness to Allah.
• It is the joy of spiritual fulfillment.

8. Eid Al-Fitr is time for
celebration
• Eid Al-Fitr is a day of decent happiness and joy.
• There is no place for extravagances in
spending or eating.
• Do not indulge in, prohibited acts of
celebrations.
• Do not engage in insulting or abusing others, as
this may detract from the achievements of the
month of Ramadan. `

9. Receiving the great
rewards of obeying Allah(SWT)
• It is reported in a Prophetic Hadith that, on the day of
`Eid Al-Fitr, the angels stand on both sides of the roads
and proclaim,
• "O believers, walk toward your Lord, Who is the
Most Generous. He favors you with goodness and
gives you great reward. He commanded you to pray
during the night and fast during the day. Now that
you have obeyed Him, come and receive your
rewards."
As the believers finish the `Eid Prayer, the angels say,
• "Allah has forgiven you. Return to your homes with
the best of good and glad tidings. This is the day of
reward. This day is called the day of reward in
heaven as well." (At-Tabarani)

10. Maintaining ties of kinship
• The Prophet said, "Whoever believes in Allah
and the Last Day should maintain good
relations with his or her kindred" (Bukhari and
Muslim).
• Eid Al-Fitr is a day when Muslims become more
keen on visiting their relatives and friends.
• In the process, they exchange greetings and
maintain ties of kinship.
• We should all visit our relatives or at least call
them.
• Muslim brothers and sisters should greet one
another by saying "Happy `Eid" or "May Allah
accept your good deeds and ours

11. Taking Care of the Poor and the
Needy
• Almighty Allah commanded us to take care of
the needy, the poor, and the orphans
throughout the year,
• Taking care of them during `Eid Al-Fitr and `Eid
Al-Adha is given greater emphasis.
• Allah and His Prophet instructed us to fulfill the
needs of the poor and the needy by paying
Zakatul Fitr and sharing food and clothings
• This helps less fortunate amongst us to
celebrate the joy of Eidul Fitr with others and
not be deprived of its happiness.
