Eid-ul-Adha ke din ki Masnoon Batein (Urdu / Hindi / Eng.)
How to celebrate EID?
Meaning of Eid
'Eid means celebration day for Muslims, day of happiness.’ On this day, all Muslims perform two Rak’ats prayer, meet one another, shake hands and embrace, greet and talk to each other, and give charity to the poor and needy; hence it is called Eid.
When was ‘Eid First Celebrated?
Abu Dawood reports on the authority of Hazrat Anas Radiallaho Ta’ala ‘Anhu that when Rasool Allah صلىالله عليه وسلم came to Madinah, the people of Madinah would celebrated two festivals. They were asked what these days were and they replied, “We used to celebrate on these days in the days of ignorance.†Rasool Allah صلىالله عليه وسلم said, “Allah Ta’ala has granted you two better days than these days – ‘Eid ul Adha and ‘Eid ul Fitr.â€

Avoid These Things
We are now mentioning certain things that are customary in our society but are not allowed under any circumstances by Islamic law.
* People going to watch movies, dramas or the circus on ‘Eid day.
* Certain people drink alcohol and gamble on ‘Eid day.
* In some places, music is played loudly and males and females dance together.
* Fireworks are set off in some places.
* Some people arrange a feast for Non-Muslims and want to include them in this joyous festival also.
* In some places, TV’s are systematically set up and people gather together to watch movies.
The above mentioned points are all things which lead to earning the Displeasure and Wrath of Allah Ta’ala. These things may provide instant comfort but it is temporary and its effects and results are evil. Everlasting comfort is in obeying Allah Ta’ala and in loving and devoting yourself to His Beloved Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam Therefore O Muslims! Celebrate ‘Eid but stay within the limits of Islamic law, and only go as far as Islamic law allows. Beware! Do not exceed the limits set by Islamic law; otherwise Allah Ta’ala has prepared Hell even before he created humans.
