عید مبارک

happy eid

however you happen to say it, have a wonderful day!

perform ghusl- make sure you’re squeaky clean before dressing up!

eat after the eid prayer- this is especially for those who are offering a sacrifice, as it is recommended for them to partake from the meat of their qurbani. inversely, on eid ul fitr, we eat before the salah

adorn beautiful clothing- it goes without saying that eid is a time for celebration, which we express through our apparel as well

TAKBEERAT- don’t forget to continue the takbeerat until the 13th of zil hijjah.

eid salah- eid is a day of togetherness and thanking Allah, both of which culminate at the eid prayer.

alternative routes- use a different route when going and coming from salah, as narrated by jaabir ibn abdullah ‏رضي الله تعالى عنه in tirmizi

congratulating each other- meet your brother with a smiling face and spread the cheer!

eid might look a little different this year, with many localities keeping up restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, but less us keep the intention to implement every sunnah of the day and then strive to do those that are still within reach for us. remember, wash your hands, observe social distance, and be as concerned with your brother’s wellbeing as you are with your own.
