Things To Perform On Eid Day
Things To Perform On Eid Day
On this day, all Muslims perform two Rakats prayer, meet one another, shake hands and embrace, greet and talk to each other, and give charity to the poor and needy; hence it is called Eid. When was Eid First Celebrated? Abu Dawood reports on the authority of Hazrat Anas Radiallaho Taala Anhu that when Rasool Allah came to Madinah, the people of Madinah would celebrated two festivals. They were asked what these days were and they replied, We used to celebrate on these days in the days of ignorance. Rasool Allah said, Allah Taala has granted you two better days than these days Eid ul Adha and Eid ul Fitr.
Shaking hands and embracing one another after the Eid salah as Muslims usually do; it is a good act because it expresses happiness. (Bahar-e-Shariat, Part 4, P71) Recite Minimum 100 Ayats of Quran Sharif on the Eid-ul-Duha (Eid Day) A Thousand Lights Enter Your Grave According to a narration, whosoever recites Subhanallahi Wabihamdihi 300 times on the day of Eid and then sends its reward to the souls of all the deceased Muslims, thousand lights will enter the grave of every Muslim. Further, when the one reciting it dies, a thousand lights will enter his grave as well. (This can be recited on both Eids). (Muqashafa-tul-Quloob, P308) All the above things are preferable (Mustahab) to do on Eid day. If we celebrate Eid and keep in mind and act upon the above mentioned rules, then Allah Taala grants us rewards and recompense.
