It is not compulsory you should comment on every thread, especially when you don't have something meaningful to say.

The Sunnahs that a Muslim should observe
on the day of Eid are as follows:

1 – DOING GHUSL BEFORE GOING OUT TO THE
PRAYER:
It was narrated in a saheeh hadeeth in al-
Muwatta’ and elsewhere that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn
‘Umar used to do ghusl on the day of al-Fitr
before going out to the prayer-place in the
morning. Al-Muwatta’ 428.
Al- Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him)
said that the Muslims were unanimously
agreed that it is mustahabb to do ghusl for
Eid prayer.
The reason why it is mustahabb is the same
reason as that for doing ghusl before
Jumu’ah and other public gatherings. Rather
on Eid the reason is even stronger.

2- EATING BEFORE GOING TO PRAY ON EID AL-
FITR AND AFTER THE PRAYER ON EID AL-ADHA:
Part of the etiquette is not to go out to pray
on Eid al-Fitr until one has eaten some dates,
because of the hadeeth narrated by al-
Bukhaari from Anas ibn Maalik, who said that
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) used not to go out on
the morning of Eid al-Fitr until he had eaten
some dates… of which he would eat an odd
number. Al-Bukhaari, 953.
It is mustahabb to eat before going out to
emphasize the fact that it is forbidden to fast
on that day and to demonstrate that the fast
has ended.
Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him)
suggested that the reason for that was so as
to ward off the possibility of adding to the
fast, and to hasten to obey the command of
Allaah. Al-Fath , 2/446
Whoever does not have any dates may break
his fast with anything that is permissible.
But on Eid al-Adha it is mustahabb not to eat
anything until one comes back from the
prayer, so he should eat from the udhiyah if
he has offered a sacrifice. If he is not going
to offer a sacrifice there is nothing wrong
with eating before the prayer.

3 – TAKBEER ON THE OF EID:
This is one of the greatest Sunnahs on the
day of Eid because Allaah says (interpretation
of the meaning):
“(He wants that you) must complete the same
number (of days), and that you must magnify
Allaah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar:
Allaah is the Most Great)] for having guided you
so that you may be grateful to Him”
[al-Baqarah 2:185]
It was narrated that al-Waleed ibn Muslim
said: I asked al-Awzaa’i and Maalik ibn Anas
about saying Takbeer out loud on the two
Eids. They said, Yes, ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar
used to say it out loud on the day of al-Fitr
until the imam came out (to lead the
prayers).
It was narrated in a saheeh report that ‘Abd
al-Rahmaan al-Sulami said, “They
emphasized it more on the day of al-Fitr than
the day of al-Adha.”. Wakee’ said, this refers
to the takbeer. See Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 3/122/
Al-Daaraqutni and others narrated that on the
morning of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Ibn
‘Umar would strive hard in reciting takbeer
until he came to the prayer place, then he
would recite takbeer until the imam came
out.
Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated with a saheeh
isnaad that al-Zuhri said: The people used to
recite Takbeer on Eid when they came out of
their houses until they came to the prayer
place, and until the imam came out. When
the imam came out they fell silent, and when
he said takbeer they said takbeer. See Irwa’
al-Ghaleel , 1/121
Saying takbeer when coming out of one's
house to the prayer place and until the imam
came out was something that was well known
among the salaf (early generations). This has
been narrated by a number of scholars such
as Ibn Abi Shaybah, ‘Abd a l-Razzaaq and al-
Firyaabi in Ahkaam al-Eidayn from a group of
the salaf. For example, Naafi’ ibn Jubayr
used to recite takbeer and was astonished
that the people did not do so, and he said,
“Why do you not recite takbeer?”
Ibn Shihaab al-Zuhri (may Allaah have mercy
on him) used to say, “The people used to
recite takbeer from the time they came out of
their houses until the imam came in.”
The time for takbeer on Eid al-Fitr starts
from the night before Eid until the imam
enters to lead the Eid prayer.
In the case of Eid al-Adha, the takbeer begins
on the first day of Dhu’l-Hijjah and lasts until
sunset on the last of the days of tashreeq.
Description of the takbeer:
It was narrated in the Musannaf of Ibn Abi
Shaybah with a saheeh isnaad from Ibn
Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him)
that he used to recite takbeer during the days
of tashreeq:
Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-
Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, Allaah akbar, wa
Lillaah il-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah
is most Great, there is no god but Allaah,
Allaah is Most great, Allaah is most great,
and to Allaah be praise).
It was also narrated elsewhere by Ibn Abi
Shaybah with the same isnaad, but with the
phrase “ Allaahu akbar ” repeated three times.
Al-Mahaamili narrated with a saheeh isnaad
also from Ibn Mas’ood: “ Allaahu akbaru
kabeera, Allaahu akbaru kabeera, Allaahu akbar
wa ajallu, Allaahu akbar wa Lillaah il-hamd
(Allaah is Most Great indeed, Allaah is Most
Great indeed, Allaah is most Great and
Glorified, Allaah is Most Great and to Allaah
be praise).” See al-Irwa’ , 3/126.

4 – OFFERING CONGRATULATIONS:
The etiquette of Eid also includes the
congratulations and good wishes exchanged
by people, no matter what the wording, such
as saying to one another Taqabbala Allaah
minna wa minkum (May Allaah accept (good
deeds) from us and from you” or “ Eid
mubaarak” and other permissible expressions
of congratulations.
It was narrated that Jubayr ibn Nufayr said:
When the companions of the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) met one
another on the day of Eid, they would say to
one another, “May Allaah accept (good
deeds) from us and from you.” Ibn Hajar
said, its isnaad is hasan. Al-Fath , 2/446.
Offering congratulations was something that
was well known among the Sahaabah, and
scholars such as Imam Ahmad and others
allowed it. There is evidence which suggests
that it is prescribed to offer congratulations
and good wishes on special occasions, and
that the Sahaabah congratulated one another
when good things happened, such as when
Allaah accepted the repentance of a man,
they went and congratulated him for that, and
so on.
Undoubtedly these congratulations are among
the noble characteristics among the
Muslims.
The least that may be said concerning the
subject of congratulations is that you should
return the greetings of those who
congratulate you on Eid, and keep quiet if
others keep quiet, as Imam Ahmad (may
Allaah have mercy on him) said: If anyone
congratulates you, then respond, otherwise do
not initiate it.

5 – ADORNING ONESELF ON THE OCCASION OF
EID:
It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar
(may Allaah be pleased with him) said that
‘Umar took a brocade cloak that was for sale
in the market and brought it to the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), and said, “O Messenger
of Allaah, buy this and adorn yourself with it
for Eid and for receiving the delegations.”
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him,
“Rather this is the dress of one who has no
share (of piety or of reward in the Hereafter)
…” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 948.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) agreed with ‘Umar on the idea
of adorning oneself for Eid, but he denounced
him for choosing this cloak because it was
made of silk.
It was narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be
pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had a
cloak which he would wear on the two Eids
and on Fridays. Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah,
1756,
Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a saheeh isnaad
that Ibn ‘Umar used to wear his best clothes
on Eid.
So a man should wear the best clothes that
he has when going out for Eid.
With regard to women, they should avoid
adorning themselves when they go out for
Eid, because they are forbidden to show off
their adornments to non-mahram men. It is
also haraam for a woman who wants to go
out to put on perfume or to expose men to
temptation, because they are only going out
for the purpose of worship.

6 – GOING TO THE PRAYER BY ONE ROUTE AND
RETURNING BY ANOTHER:
It was narrated that Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah
(may Allaah be pleased with him) said: On
the day of Eid, the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to vary
his route. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 986.
It was said that the reason for that was so
that the two routes would testify for him on
the Day of Resurrection, for the earth will
speak on the Day of Resurrection and say
what was done on it, both good and bad.
And it was said that it was in order to
manifest the symbols of Islam on both
routes, or to manifest the remembrance of
Allaah (dhikr), or to annoy the hypocrites and
Jews, and to scare them with the large
number of people who were with him. And it
was said that it was in order to attend to the
people’s needs, to answer their questions,
teach them, set an example and give charity
to the needy, or to visit his relatives and
uphold the ties of kinship.
And Allaah knows best.

This deserves to be seen on FB sissie and Co. do your work

This deserves to be seen on FB sissie do your work

Masha Allah, this is superb. Jazakullahukhyran

The Do’s and Don’ts of ‘Itikaaf

What you should do;
Do Have a right intention, think what is your
intention if its bad or seen good renew your
intention with the right one, namely that
you are doing ‘itikaaf to worship Allah more
etc

UTILIZE YOUR TIME, EVERY SECOND; make the
most out of it
Do bring duvet, a duvet, something to rest upon
(maybe another duvet) and any worship, Qur’aan etc The focus is
not on comfort but…
Do occupy yourself in constant
remembrance of Allah. Whether it be reading
the astounding words of Allah Himself or,
even reading on some Islamic knowledge.
Do try to sleep separate to your friend

to excessive chatter

Do Keep talk to a minimum/
Do Help fellow muttakifs (those doing
‘itikaaf)

Do Keep yourself to yourself except when
needing to learn something
Structure your time, you only have 10 or
none days which are in fact really small,
once they are gone, their gone.

Do Produce a plan (either in your head or
even in writing, preferably brief)
Usually the brothers join together to at least read
some portions if not all of the Qur’an (khatam)
which is an excellent way to accomplish some
worship

worships
Do pray extra prayers, (such as nafl,
repentance prayers, make-up prayers and

Do be respectable to each other especially
those older and have mercy (kindness) on

breathing loudly in sleep or loud speech)

Consult the caretaker or the imam for what
action to take. Don’t take it into you own
hands without seeking guidance first.

Do respect peoples time and tasks, such as
sleep and so reduce the sound of your
reciting/speaking accordingly
Do be promt and ready for prayers.

What you should not/can not do (can weaken

or tell them off, rather, seek proper means
to let them know and focus on yourself
first.

Don’t bring too many items
Don’t bring snacks or keep to a bare
minimum, it is not a picnic!

Snack away, one should not bring snacks in
Don’t eat loudly especially when in the
secluded areas
Don’t waste time.

the opposite of social!
Don’t talk loud especially in secluded read
and when brother sleeping or in the deep
night

Don’t ‘ over-help’ people
Don’t talk to people in the wudu area,
stairs & its area, side rooms and shoe area except very necessary.

Don’t over eat, it produces excessive sleep,
too much burping, smells, (disturbance to
fellow muttakifs), less worship, less
concentration and so forth
Don’t wait around
Don’t swear – obvious sin
Don’t talk about worldly(talk a part from

such devices)
Don’t get into arguments, quarrels,
excessive talk,
Don’t spend extra time in when in areas
which outside mosque but which a
necessary, should not prolong stay after his
need is fulfilled.

Don’t try solving problems without the
necessary means
Don’t feel extremely sad, if you think you
haven’t done enough worship etc, as Allah
is The most Kind the Provider and The
Forgiver.

Important Note:
Some of the ‘ don’ts’ can get you into trouble,
with yourself, masjid comers, masjid helpers and
most importantly Allah.

If you exceed the boundaries of respect for the
masjid and its residents (i.e fellow mutakifs)
you may be given warnings and ultimately may
lead to you being asked to leave from ‘itikaaf
which ultimately is a loss to none but yourself./
Make use of the blessed scared moments and
nights in the house of the one who stood you up,
Allah.


Barakallahufeek

The basic aim of I’tikaf is that a Muslim
continues at the door of the Almighty.
By being secluded in an area of the mosque,
cutting himself aloof from the world and devoting
his time wholly to prayer and worship. It is the
worship of the favourite worship of the creation
of the Lord. Evidently, no time could be more
appropriate for itikaaf than the month of
Ramadaan, especially it’s ten days.

In Arabic seclusion (‘itkaaf) means staying on
something.
In Sharia (Sacred Law) it means residing
(staying) with the intention of seclusion in a
mosque where group prayer (jama’at) is
performed.

It is related on the authority of Ayesha that
“The Prophet of Allah observed I’tikaf in the last
ten days of Ramadan, till the end of his life.”
There are different types of seclusion, such as
Necessary, Communal Emphasized Sunnah and
recommend (optional) seclusions
Types of ‘Itikaaf

1. Necessary (waajib) – this is seclusion
where a person vowed her would and is
accompanied by fast

2. Communal emphasised (Sunnah mu’akkada/
something the prophet did a lot and emphasised
much)) – this is fasting in the last ten days of
Ramadaan

3. Recommended (nafl) – this is any other
situation of secluding oneself on entering
the mosque for brief moment.
These seclusions ends/is broken when leaving
the masjid
For you, you will be most likely doing a
recommended ‘itikaaf (sunnah) or nafl.
In the sunnah fast, it starts on the last ten days
of Ramadan, here meaning the 20 of Ramadan
and finishes as soon as there is notice of ‘Eid the
next day (the moon is sighted). Thus it can be 9
or 10 days.nights/
You can leave it anytime,
Conditions of ‘Itikaaf (for men)

4. One is secluded within the congregational
prayer area of a mosque.

5. One has made the intention to stay in Gods
house secluded to worshipping him for 10
days and night (Sunnah ‘itikaaf) , or how
long one wishes(nafl ‘itikaaf)
Things that invalidate ‘itikaaf (the breakers) (for
our purposes these are listed)
Leaving any part of the masjid with out no
reason, this means any are that is not part
of the masjid as specified by the masjid to
be a congregational prayer place.
These areas are the wudu are, the kitchen, the
shoe area the, stairs and stairway, the corridors,
the side rooms, and actual outside are
Note; If your doing nafl ‘itikaaf then you
can just make intention and come back if
you want to do nafl ‘itikaaf, but if your
‘itikaaf was a sunnah one it is broken
although you can still do a nafl one, which
still attains much benefits such as intense
worship and possibly finding the night of
Decree.
