Feast of  The Fast (Eid ul-Fitr) Ceremonies

 

One should know that the auspicious feast of the fast (Eid-ul-Fitr) is a day has been selected by God and differentiated by him from the other days to bestow his blessings and bounties to his servants

and people would get together in order to receive those blessings.

Feast of the Fast (Eid-ul-Fitr) is one of the Muslims’ most important feasts, the first day of Shawwal, and it is after the end of the honorable Ramadan month. During this day the Muslims give the Zakat (a kind of Charity tax on property) to the poor which is called “Fetriyeh”. Fasting is forbidden on this day. In Quran had been referred to the salvation of the ones who are Zakat givers.

THE ITEMS THAT CAN  BE CONSIDERED AS  FETRIYEH

The four- type series of the cereals (Wheat, barley, date and raisin) or payment of the related price would suffice. However; it Would be better that one consider what he consumes as Fetriyeh. It means that if the daily consuming of his for most part consists of bread, then the bread would be the item of choice.

THE AMOUNT OF THE ITEMS

It is One Sa’ (about 3 Kg)

THE SUITABLE TI ME

It would be better that one after leaving for saying the Fitr prayers, has the intention of giving Zakat, unless he had considered it before.

Eid-ul-Fitr Prayer     

O’ Allah (may be), today, some (people) make up their mind,
or take pains, or get ready and prepare the ground, to turn
to (other) people, hopeful of getting favors, gifts, benefits
and grants, but I take a decisive step, exert myself, make
myself ready and smooth the way, and turn hopeful unto
Thee, O’ my Master, to obtain favors, compensation, gifts,
benefits, bounties and grants from Thee only,

And find myself celebrating one of the feast days, commemorated
by the followers of Thy Prophet, Muhammad (blessing of Allah be
on him and on his family); (may be) I am not carrying
(a weighty load of) good deeds, while approaching Thee, (even then)
with all my heart I move forward, and do not pay attention to the
invitations extended by the people,

Instead submissively draw near Thee ashamed of the wrong
doings done to my ownself.

So, O’ Almighty,

O’ Almighty,

O’ Almighty,

Forgive me of my grave wrong-doings,
Because verily, no one can forgive the serious
transgressions save Thou,

O’ “There is no god save Thou”,

O’ the Most Merciful of all the merciful.

O’ Allah, (belong to Thee only) pride, glory,

Excellence, omnipotence,

(Thou) grants amnesty and shows kindness,

(Thou art) Holy and Oft-Forgiving,

(so), I ask Thee in the name of this day which Thou
had ordained as a day of happiness for the Muslims,

an occasion for Muhammad (blessing of Allah be on him
and on his family) to plan ahead and grow strong,

to send blessings on Muhammad and on his family

and introduce me to every good that had been made
available to Muhammad and his family, educate me to
keep from every evil as Thou kept safe Muhammad and
his family from it. Thy blessings on him and on them.

O’ Allah I ask Thee to give me the good which Thy
pious servants had asked for.

And I take refuge with Thee from that which caused
Thy pious servants to seek refuge with Thee
