And just like the day of 'Eid, fasting these 3 days is also forbidden; because the Prophet ﷺ said: ((أَيَّامُ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ، وَذِكْرٍ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وجل)) “The days of Tashriq (i.e. the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah) are days of eating, drinking and remembrance of Allah, the Most Great and Glorious." [Muslim (1141)]

Whoever misses 'Eid Salah with the Imam must offer two rak'ahs with the Takbirs in the same manner as the Imam. Likewise, if someone arrives after the prayer while the Imam is delivering the Khutbah, they should pray and listen to the Khutbah. And anyone who has an excuse not to attend should pray two units at home - according to most of the scholars. And the closing prayer is, All praise is for Allah, Lord of all…

In the first rak'ah there are seven Takbirs including the opening Takbir (Takbiratul Ihram), and in the second there are five Takbirs including the transitional Takbir based on the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The Takbir during 'Eidul Fitr is seven times in the first rak'ah and five times in the second, and the recitation is after them both.” [Narrated by…

'Eid prayer is comprised of two units. It has no voluntary prayers before or after based on the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ offered two units on the day of 'Eid and he did not pray anything before nor after them.

Attending the 'Eid Khutbah is recommended and not obligatory. It is also not obligatory to listen to it and one is allowed to talk during it unless it causes annoyance, in which case talking is forbidden from this aspect.

The 'Eid prayer is offered before the 'Eid Khutbah due to the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr and ‘Umar would all offer 'Eid Salah before the Khutbah. [Reported by Al-Bukhari (963) and Muslim (888)] And his saying: (before the Khutbah) indicates that it was a single Khutbah. This has also come from the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be…

[The first form] (الله أكبر، الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، الله أكبر، ولله الحمد) This is established from 'Ali and Ibn Mas'ood, may Allah be pleased with them both. [The second form] (الله أكبر، الله أكبر كبيرا، الله أكبر تكبيرا، الله أكبر وأجل، الله أكبر ولله الحمد) This wording is established from ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him.

This is proven by the saying of the Most High: {وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمۡ} “And proclaim the greatness of Allah for guiding you.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 185] And His saying: {وَٱذۡكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فِیۤ أَیَّامࣲ مَّعۡدُودَ ٰ⁠تࣲۚ} “And remember Allah during ˹these˺ appointed days.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 203] And the (previous) hadith of Umm 'Attiyah, may Allah be pleased with her, in which she…

It is obligatory upon every Muslim based on the (previous) hadith of Abu 'Umair ibn Anas on the authority of his paternal uncles, that the Prophet ﷺ commanded them to break their fast and proceed to their place of prayer the following morning.

On this 'Eid the scholars recommend that one does not eat anything until they have offered Salatul 'Eid based on the hadith of Buraidah radhiyallahu anhu who said: “the Prophet ﷺ would not go out on 'Eidul Fitr unless he ate something, and he would not eat anything on 'Eidul Adh-ha until he had offered the Eid Salah”; reported by Ahmad (5/352) - and this hadith is 'Hasan'.

All praises belong to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone, He has no partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad ﷺ is His slave and Messenger, as for what follows: The Islamic Celebrations that Allah has legislated are few in number; from them is 'Eidul Adh-ha.

THE DAY OF 'ARAFAH A day that cannot be compensated! Imam An-nawawi rahimahullah said: فهذا اليوم أفضل أيام السنة للدعاء؛ فينبغي أن يستفرغ الإنسان وسعه في الذكر والدعاء وفي قراءة القرآن، وأن يدعو بأنواع الأدعية، ويأتي بأنواع الأذكار، ويدعو لنفسه ووالديه وأقاربه ومشايخه وأصحابه وأصدقائه وأحبابه وسائر مَن أحسن إليه وجميع المسلمين؛ وليحذر كل الحذر من التقصير في ذلك كله؛ فإن هذا اليوم لا يمكن تداركه. “This is the…

We loved you even before seeing you and when we saw you, we fell in love even more.” The scholars have advised not to pray behind this…

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The best supplication is that of the Day of 'Arafat, and the best that anyone can say is what I and the Prophets before me have said: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير None has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone, Who has no partner.

Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ((لَا يَصُومَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَصُومَ يَوْمًا قَبْلَهُ، أَوْ يَوْمًا بَعْدَهُ)) “None of you should fast on Friday, unless he fasts together with the day before or the day after.” [Agreed upon] https://youtu.be/OW0hU9WuF-s

A demonstration of the previous benefit.

As a da'ee/teacher/caller to Islam, it's important to have some background knowledge on the people you are teaching/giving Da'wah to. This will allow you to be better prepared when it comes to countering their doubts and answering their concerns.

A die hard boxing fan (may Allah guide him) was asked if he was travelling out to Saudi to watch the next heavyweight boxing fight? He replied: I would be a Munafiq (hypocrite) for travelling to Saudi to watch a boxing fight when I haven't even travelled there to perform Hajj! ___ OBSERVATION: Saudi is not like what it was 10 years ago, let alone 100 years ago. And this is no coincidence, for indeed the Prophet ﷺ…

During our reading of 'Al-Fiqhul Muyassar', the authors mentioned (P. 172) that: (النبي ﷺ لم يحج بعد هجرته إلى المدينة إلا حجة واحدة) “The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj only once after his migration to Madeenah.” From the above statement we can derive 2 benefits: BENEFIT 1⃣: [based on the مَنْطُوق (direct/literal understanding)] The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj only ONCE after his migration to Madeenah.
