Poem

In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the most Compassionate


A blessed month is casting its shadow upon us
A night of this month is better than a thousand months
Bear with patience for the sake of Ar-Rahman
Its a continuous training to strengthen our Imaan.
Glory be to Allah who sent Ramadan as a mercy to mankind
Its a purification of our soul, our heart, and our mind
With the most sincere devotion and love we fast
To be cleansed and free from sins of the past

Glorified is He, who choseth this holy month,
To test our sabr and fill our hearts with warmth
Of his Divine Light, His blessings shall glow,
The Seer of the unseen, all He does know

Ya Allah! For thee, let my breath be more pleasant than musk
Ya Allah! For thee, let me be thankful when day turns to dusk
My thoughts and heart are purified, my eyes truly see
This blessed month, the month of spiritual rhapsody!

Ya Allah! For thee, my life I shall live!
Ya Allah! For thee, my soul I shall give!
In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the most Kind,
Praise be to Allah, who sent Ramadan as a gift to mankind

Fasts of Shawwaal


Hadrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (Radi Allahu' Anhu) reported that the Beloved Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) said: " The one who observes the fasts of Ramadan and follows this with six voluntary fasts of Shawwaal will be regarded as though he had fasted perpetually " (Muslim Shareef). In another Hadith, Hadrat Jabir bin Abdullah (Radi Allahu'Anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) said: " The one who observes six fasts of Shawwaal after Eid al-Fitr will be regarded as though he has fasted the entire year."

It is excellent to keep these six fasts on six different days in Shawwaal but if kept consecutively there is no harm in it.

May Allah Almighty give us the guidance and Tawfiq to act upon what we learn. Ameen.

Method of Performing Eid Namaaz


1. Make your Niyyat
2. After making your Niyyat follow the Imam by raising your hands upto your ears and reading Takbeer-e-Tahreema and then fold the hands below the navel
3. Thana will then be recited and thereafter the Imam will read three extra Takbeers. The Muqtadees at each Takbeer follow the Imam by raising their hands to the ears reciting 'Allahu Akhbar' and then dropping their hands to their sides
4. At the call of the third Takbeer, the hands will be folded. The Rakaat will then be completed as normal
5. In the second Rakaat after Surah Fateha and Qirat, the Imam will call out three extra Takbeers, and at the call of the fourth Takbeer all will go into Ruku and complete the rest of the Namaaz as usual
6. After the Namaaz, the Imam will give two Khutbahs in Arabic
7. After the Khutbahs, a talk will be given to highlight important issues facing the Muslims and pertinent aspects of the particular Eid.
8. At the end of the talk Salat-o-Salaam will be sent upon the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam. To recite the Salat-o-Salaam collectively while standing is a means of obtaining Mercy and Blessings of Allah Almighty.
9. Then the Imam will make the final du'a for the general well being of the Muslim Ummah.
10. It is Mustahab to hug and shake hands with fellow Muslim bretheren.

Takbeer for Ayyam-e-Tashreeq


" Allaho-Akhbar, Allaho-Akhbar, la-illahaa il-lallaho'-w'allaho-Akhbar, Allaho-Akhbar w'alilaa-hil Hamdh "
From the Fajr of the ninth of Dhil-Hajj to the Asr of the 13th Dhil-Hajj it is Wajib to recite the above Takbeer once, and commendable to recite it three times immediately after every Fard Namaaz.

Namaaz of the two Eids



The two Rakaats of Eidain are Wajib on every sane and mature Muslim who is healthy and resides in a town or city. Eid and Jum'ah Prayers are not permissable in very small villages. However big villages which have the status of a town in terms of Islamic Law would be regarded as suitable places for these prayers. The conditions for the validity of Jum'ah and Eid Prayers are similar, but with some minor differences. While the Khutbah for Jum'ah Namaaz is compulsory (fard) the Khutbah for Eid Namaaz is Sunnat. The Khutbahs for Jum'ah Prayer are recited before the Namaaz while for Eid the Khutbahs are given after the Namaaz. If any person did not recite the Khutbah after the Eid Namaaz or he recited it before the Namaaz, the Namaaz itself will be valid but such a person will be a sinner.

Time of Eid Namaaz


The time of Eid Namaaz commences after the sun has risen and brightened up sufficiently and lasts until Zawaal. If Zawaal time is reached before the Namaaz is completed, it will not be valid.

Those Entitled to Sadqat al-Fitr


Those entitled to Zakaah are those also entitled to Sadqat al-Fitr, those which have been mentioned in Surah Tauba, verse 60.

" Zakaah is only for those who are poor and needy and those who are employed to administer it, and for those attracted to Islam, and for the freeing of slaves, and for debtors and for the cause of Allah and for the traveller. That is the duty enjoined by Allah, He is knowing, Wise. '' (Al-Quran 9 : 60 )

[Naqshbandi]

The Amount of Sadaqat al-Fitr


The amount of Sadaqat al-Fitr is half of a Saa' of wheat or one Saa' of dates, barley or fig.
It is permissible to give the monetary equivalent of these commodities. However it is better to pay it in cash for this is more beneficial for the poor.

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) narrates that at the completion of the fasting of Ramadan, the Most Beloved Messsenger (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa aalihi wa Sallam) made Waajib one Saa' of dates or barley in terms of Sadaqat al-Fitr. Irrespective of whether one is a free Muslim or a slave : male or female ; young or old.

Hadrat Ibn Umar (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) states, '' Then the people deemed half a Saa' of wheat as its equivalent and then they deemed two Mud of wheat as equivalent to half a Saa'. ''
