WHAT TO DO ON THE DAY OF EID

There’re many things, which are performed and teach us to do, by our Prophet on the day of Eid like;

• Everyone men or women, old or child takes shower in the morning and dressed up new/neat clothes.
• Sadqat-ul-fitr should be paid before Eid saalah (prayer).
• Eid prayer is very important to all Muslims as it is wajib.
• It’s necessary to eat something before Eid prayer; here the reason is that, the day of Eid should be different from Fast days, so to differentiate it and show it clearly that Ramadan is over and no Muslims fasts on Eid day.

Sadqaat–Ul-Fitr;

As the name indicates; Eid-ul-fitr means Eid of fitr. Fitr is referred as a sort of charity which every Muslim, who can afford has to pay, Before Eid sallah. Its an obligation that head of the family pays it according to his family members. Usually it is 1.75kgs of wheat or equivalent amount of money. This year it is 90 rupees per person in Pakistan, if you are out of Pakistan, you better consult with your Imam.

Eid Prayer;

One of the important and necessary worship at the day of Eid, is Eid Prayer. It is performed in open field or in ground. It is one of those prayers, which don’t have Adhan.

HOW TO PERFORM IT?

• This prayer is based on two rakats, with six Takbeers (Allahu Akbar), three in the start of first rakat and remaining three in the second rakat before Ruku. It is also Sunnah that one has to recite Tasbih all the way going to prayer.
• Also try to use 2 different ways for going and coming back home as Prophet Muhammad (S,A,W) said.

This Article is written by Mrs. Farukh. Happy Eid Mubarak to all of you from me. My one request from you is try to continue your Ramadan schedule (If you did that well) as this life will end and your hard work in this world will not give you any benefit in the world here after.

That’s it Friends!

Now waiting for your comments, what you think about these beautiful Mosques of the world, which you already visited, what about your experience there, Which one you most like and have desire to go there.

Share your interesting thoughts with me and all the order readers.

Back to topic, Today we will discuss Islamic prospective on beard, how long beard will be, any recommended style, trimming is allowed or not and some other important points.

According to Islamic scholars, Beard is considered as Wajib (Mandatory) to Muslims. It is known as beauty of a Muslim. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Verily, Allah is Beautiful and loves beauty”. Allah Almighty only choose best and beautiful things for us. So we should need to obey His orders, as He knows better than anybody.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that Beard is the one that distinguish you as a Muslim with Non-believers. So it is a sign of righteous people.

How Long Beard Will Be:

Some people have misunderstanding in this part but Islam said really clear things on length of beard. Muslim beard should need atleast one hand, greater the better. Here are some very clear proofs on beard length.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) says: “Trim closely the moustache, and let the beard flow (Grow).” – Narrated Ibn Umar (R.A.) in Muslim Shareef, Hadith # 498. Same thing said in Hadith # 499, 500, 501, 449.

Tirmidhi narrated that Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (R.A) used to cut the beard which was exceeded then his hand grip.

Also all the four Imam of Islam agreed on this point that beard length should not less than one hand. So if your beard is less than one hand, it is considered as Makrooh-e-Tehrimi (close to haram).

Shave Is Haram In Islam:

Let be clear, shaving is totally haram in Islam without any doubt. Check this Hadith as a clear evidence, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Anyone who shaves has no claim to the mercy of Allah” – Reported by Ibn Abbas (R.A.) in Tibrabi. According to Scholars, “To shave off the beard is unlawful (Haram) and one who shaves his beard is legally speaking an unrighteous fellow (FASIQ); hence, it is not permissible to appoint such a man as an Imam. To say Taraweeh behind such an Imam is Makrooh-e-Tehrimi (near prohibition)” (Shami Vol.1, p.523).

I think it is very clear that shaving is haram in Islam without any doubt.

Trimming Is Allowed or Not:

If your beard is more than one hand then you can trim it. But it should not less than one hand. “Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ordered us to trim the moustache closely and spare the beard” says Ibn Umar. – Muslim Shareef, Hadith no. 449.
“Hazrat Jaabir (R.A.) said: “We used to grow long beards and only during Hajj and Umrah did we trim them to the required length (i.e. fist length).”

As I previously said, beard known as male beauty in Islam. So you can trim to get a better shape. Beard should not let grow in a way that makes a person look disgusting to people. In other words, the Muslim should make sure that his beard adds to his smartness and looks cool. But (again saying) what ever you do, it should not cut it down to less than one hand.

Misconceptions Among Muslims on Beard:

These days people are getting more and more westernized especially the youth. They follow their latest styles. But it is not good for us and Islam teachings is totally different from that.

Another thing is while argument, people agreed that beard is Wajib, but length of beard is not mentioned in any hadith, Hence, if you have bit of hair on your face, it would be fine, because it is also called as a beard – This is totally wrong.

Hopefully above proves are more than enough for any person who have any misconceptions on beard. You can read more in details about Misconceptions on beard.

Why I’m in French Cut Below:

This is interesting, you can think that I’m saying these things but in below picture, I’m in French cut so what I’m doing. Actually you are right. But the fact is I’m only 19 years of age and my beard is still not completed. It is only on chin area. So it is my natural look not custom-made. When it will complete, I’ll surely grow it according to teachings of Islam.

1)  Soil Fertilized in Burying Dead Body

Our body particles are very similar to particles of our soil, when body remain there for few years, that will dissolves in soil. So that soil will be more fertile.

2)  Wood Save in Burying Process

Burning process is really playing it’s part in forest cutting. It is the only cause which consumes more than 100 ton wood per day in India alone. If we compare this with Burying, then that is really straightforward.

3)  Air Polluted in Burning Dead Body

Burning dead bodies is one of the ordinary cause in air pollution. When you burn a body, smoke really hurt your environment as well as damage your health. But in burying process, nothing like this.

4)   Much Less Expense in Burying

Buying wood, buying oil is an expensive task in burning dead body. Annually hundreds and thousands of dollars serve in this, only because Hindus burn their dead bodies in India. As compared to this, burying dead bodies is very cheap and simple. It cost you less than half from burning.

5)  Human Body Components Present In Soil

It’s scientifically proved that most of the elements that are present in human body are also in minor or higher quantity in the soil. Hence it is more reasonable, as it’s really easy to get decompose and mix in soil. So Burying process is always a winner in any case.

1) Equal Legal Rights

Women in Muslim world want equal legal rights as men. Although it is not a very big issue now because laws in polled countries are so define for women. Also most Muslim men believes on “Equal Rights”, In turkey there is virtually no gap (92% of both women and men said women should have the same legal rights as men) but this percentage seems little different in other Muslim countries.

2) Voting Without Influence

Although situation is getting better and better, but still there is lot more to do for women to vote without any pressure. Check out the chart for better understanding.

3) Do Jobs

Nowadays Muslim women want to stand on their own feet. They want to contribute in society, want to prove themselves. In short, they want to do jobs outside and exposure the world.

4) Same Education Facilities

It is true that in Muslim countries, women haven’t such education facilities as men. This is one of the reason they are far behind then men. Literacy gap between women and men in Pakistan is 73% but in Iran education gender gap is 0, means in Iran men and women have same facilities.

But if we look towards whole world, we will notice that this problem is not only with Muslim world, Germany and France have education gender gap of more then 50%. United States same as Iran 0 difference and Japan already reverse gender gaps (literacy rate between women is more then men).

So seems like it is not only in Muslim countries but it is whole world phenomenon. Yet also we need to minimize this gap.

5) Attachment with Moral and Spiritual Values

Survey found that most of Muslim women want respect, peace, courage in their societies. It is true that they are more about moral values then money and sex. They see what women in west doing. They have live examples of them, working in office and also in home, 100% tired life with no gain. So they realize what is good for them.

6) Religion: Islam

Women from all the 8 predominant Muslim countries says that they want religion in their country. Many of them said that Islam and Shariya is the only or a source of legislation. So that’s mean they want to see Islam playing role in their society. See a graph to understand in details what Muslims think about Shariya as a law.

I think only woman can answer this question in details, as I’m a male, so my words can’t really show you the inside story of their heart as they know better then me.

I just want to mention some of the interesting points that I took from this video below:

• Most women said they want to their country’s attachment with moral and spiritual values.
• Most of them said the economic and political advancement in Muslim countries would not improved with the adoption of western values.
• Most of the women think they should have right to vote without influence, work outside the home and serve in highest levels of government.
• Muslim women didn’t see sex as priority because they think other issues were more pressing.

So as in whole they want respect, peace, values as well as huge religion part as well. For more about what Muslim Women want in Muslim world, I sincerely refer you to this video. You should watch it to understand their feelings.

I just found 10 steps to keep Ramadan spirit alive, you can find some very interesting tips in this. Yes! writer wrote exactly what was in my mind. You should have to concentrate on Dua, thinking about your past life and feel bad on wrong habits, always get some time for yourself regularly and think only about you, what was you, why Allah send you to this world, try to connect with Allah Almighty, pray Astagh-Firullah as many as you can, as deep as you can. May Allah Almighty mercy on us and bless us.

One thing that they didn’t add in above article is, You should always need to remember before or while doing work that Allah Almighty is watching us. What we do whether it is right or wrong, Allah Subhana Wa Ta’llah is watching us and we will receives its reward in the world here after. keep this as a strong faith and hopefully shetaan will not mis-guide you whole life.

Muslims women should have to wear the Hijab with its actual means as it is mentioned in the Holy Quran. There are many basic differences in wearing Hijab between Muslim women and Nuns.

Hijab saves every women from evil eyes. Believe it or not, this is the thing that is playing a big part in most of the women who are converting to Islam. They liked it and feel safe after wearing it.

Ahh, actually it’s not my time to say any thing, It’s time to see the video as Mr Yusuf Estes has very unique way to teach things. Hope you will like this video.

Brothers and sisters! this is Umer Hayat from IslamConcepts.com want to say an Eid Mubarak to all my readers. IslamConcepts is an open source place for people to share their views with others. Muslims celebrating today as a Eid, It is really a peaceful and happiness day. day to forgive others, day that brings people closer.

Eid Prospective:

Actually there are two Eid in whole year according to Islamic calendar. First is Eid-ul-fitr also known as Smaller Eid”. and second is Eid-ul-azha or “Greater Eid. Today is Eid-ul-fitr. Muslims completed fasting for whole one month in Ramadan and today new month started in lunar calendar, so that’s why we are celebrating this special day.

Eid Benefits:

Islam told us to settle our disputes with others on this day, meet them with a big smile, hug them, wish them a happy Eid and pray for them from your heart. So they also do the same. Allah like people who always kind with others and this is the purpose of Eid. Eid is a total social activity that brings people closer and minimize the gap.

Eid Mubarak:

I want to say an Eid Mubarak to all of you. If you have any thing to say then reply here. May Allah almighty forgive us and show us the right path.

As you know judgement day is a must thing that will happen to every human being. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed us these signs  almost 1400 years ago about judgement day. You can clearly see that most of them already happened and remaining will occur on their specific time as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mentioned.

Today Science is talking/proving things that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said 1400 years ago. You can image the power of a person, Who was not educated in any institution nor at home, don’t know read or write but He teached us the things, those happened and still happening as He said word by word. Subhan Allah!

He said these things on quite different occasions but I’m going to summarize them and writing the actually context of wording.

• People will ride on saddles that aren’t saddles (Think about Cars)
• The distance on earth will become short. (Think about Aeroplanes)
• Horses will not be use in wars. (Think what is going on nowadays)
• Muslims will defeat the Byzantines which will end with the conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul).
• The Jews will gather again to live in Bilad Canaan.
• Very tall buildings will build (What is happening these days)
• The disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance, with much killing. (Think same thing are happening today)
• Adultery will become widespread, and the drinking of wine will become common (Nowaday is a best example)
• The number of men will decrease and the number of women will increase until there are 50 women to be looked after by one man. (Still women increase and ratio is going higher and higher with everyday passes)
• Islam will become worn out like clothes are, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, charity and rituals are. (Almost this thing is present and continue to become worst)
• Allah will send a disease to fornicator that will have no cure (Think about Aids)
• People will begin to believe in the stars and reject AL QADAR. (Nowadays, muslims as well believing in stars. Al Qadar is ‘The divine decree of destiny’)
• Men will pass by people’s graves and say: ‘Would that I were in his place’; (Think about large amount of suicidal deaths these days)
• Two large groups of people will fight one another, and there will be many casualties; they will both following the same religion (Think about World War II)
• Approximately 30 DAJJALS will appear, each one claiming to be the messenger of ALLAH.
• Earthquakes will increase (What is going on these days)
• Time will pass quickly (What is going on these days)
• Killing will increase (What is going on these days)
• Wealth will increase (Yup! Think about nowadays but this is still to be increase as Prophet Said)
• Women will be wearing clothes but not wearing clothes

These are some of the things that holy Prophet Muhammad said on separate occasions. Most of the things are happening these days but some of them still needs to be even more worse as Prophet said.

And on another occasion Prophet said: ‘If my ummah (followers) bears 15 traits (qualities), tribulation (judgement day) will follow it’. Someone asked; What are they O messenger of Allah. Then Prophet replied:

• When any gain shared out only among the rich, with no benefit to the poor.
• When a trust becomes a means of making profit.
• When paying ZAKAT becomes a burden.
• When voices are raised in the mosque.
• When the leaders are the worst of all.
• When people treat a man with respect because what he may do.
• The appearance of the Imam MAHDI.
• The appearance of the DAJJAL (Anti Christ).
• The appearance of Ya’juj and Ma’juj (biblical Gog and Magog).
• Isa (Jesus) will come during the time of Dajjal and kill him.
• The rising of the sun from the west.
• The destruction of the Ka’ba and the recovery of its treasures.
• The wind that destroy almost all things.
• The smoke that will punishes all the non-believers.

No time to go into details of these signs but will go in short future and talked about them one by one. Just hang with me and continue reading more interesting things on this blog. Your inspiration is really what I want at this point.

Back to topic, as we look at this article we realize how true the Messenger (P.B.U.H) was, these signs were prophesized 1400 years ago!. It shows that Prophet Muhammad was a true messenger of God and also the Holy Quran told us these things.

So my dear brothers and sisters! if you still not start what Allah Almighty told us to do in this apparent world, then act now, you also know that we have very less time. So act now with good intentions so Allah will help us to became a good Muslim and if you are a good Muslim, you are also a good social personality.
