وَجَاهِدُوْا فِى اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖۗ هُوَ اجْتَبٰىكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى الدِّيْنِ مِنْ حَرَجٍۗ مِلَّةَ اَبِيْكُمْ اِبْرٰهِيْمَۗ هُوَ سَمّٰىكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ەۙ

Struggle for (seeking the pleasure of) Allah, a struggle that is owed to Him. He has chosen you and did not impose any hardship on you in the religion, the faith of your father Ibrāhīm. He (Allah) named you as Muslims earlier

في اللُّغَةِ: اَلَّذِي قَدِ اسْتَسْلَمَ لِأمْرِ اللَّهِ كُلِّهِ، وخَضَعَ لَهُ، فالمُسْلِمُ المُحَقَّقُ هو الَّذِي أظْهَرَ القَبُولَ لِأمْرِ اللَّهِ كُلِّهِ

In the language: the one who has surrendered to the entire command of ALlah, and submits to it, so the verified Muslim is the one who showed acceptance of the entire command of Allah.

قُلْ اِنَّ صَلَاتِيْ وَنُسُكِيْ وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِيْ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ

-نُسُكِيْ =اَلذَّبْحُما يُتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إلى اللَّهِ

* “Truly my prayer, my sacrifice, My life and death, are all for Allâh; the Rabb of the Worlds.”

لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهٗ ۚوَبِذٰلِكَ اُمِرْتُ وَاَنَا۠ اَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ(الأنعام:١٦٣)

For Him there is no partner. And thus I have been commanded, and I am the first one to submit.”

likewise

رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِنَآ اُمَّةً مُّسْلِمَةً لَّكَۖ

Our Lord, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from our descendants a Muslim nation [in submission] to You. (Al-Baqarah [2] : 128)

likewise

اِذْ قَالَ لَهٗ رَبُّهٗٓ اَسْلِمْۙ قَالَ اَسْلَمْتُ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

When his Lord said to him, “Submit!” He said, “I submit myself to the Lord of all the worlds.”

3

وَالَّذِيْنَ جَاهَدُوْا فِيْنَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَاۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

And those who strive for Us – We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good. (Al-'Ankabut [29] : 69)

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to my house when two girls were beside me singing songs of Bu’ath. The Prophet laid down and turned his face to the other side. Then, Abu Bakr came in and spoke to me harshly, saying, “Musical instruments of Satan near the Prophet?” The Prophetturned his face toward him and he said, “Leave them alone.” When Abu Bakr became inattentive, I signaled to the girls and they left. It was the day of Eidand the Abyssinians were playing with shields and spears. Either I asked the Prophet or he asked me whether I would like to watch and I said yes. Then the Prophet made me stand behind him while my cheek was touching his cheek and the Prophet was saying, “Carry on, O tribe of Arfidah.”I became tired and the Prophet asked me, “Are you satisfied?” I said yes, so I left.

The Sunnahs /Etiquettes of Eid-ul-Adha

It was customary of the Prophet ﷺ to do the following on ‘Eid:

Make du’a on the night of Eid

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘There are five nights on which du’a is not rejected: the first night of Rajab, the fifteenth night of Sha`ban, Thursday night, the night before Eid al-Fitr and the night before Eid al-Nahr (al-Adha)’. (As-Suyuti)

Eid Pray In Open Field

It is recommended that Eid prayer should be observed in an open field thats sunnah

Ghusal ( Bath )

It is Suggested as a Sunnah to Do ghusl & use the best perfumes that we have.

before going out for the eid prayer.

Eating After Eid-ul-Adha prayer

For Eid ul-Fitr, it is Sunnah to eat after Edul Adha prayer and we should follow his example.

Walking to prayer place

It was reported that Sa`id ibn Jubayr said: “Three things are Sunnah on `Eid: to walk (to the prayer-place), to take a bath, and to eat before coming out (if it’s Eid Al-Fitr).”

Takbeer

- On the way to the masjid, Takbeer ul-Eid should be recited softly. The Eid Takbeer is:

‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La Ilaaha Illallahu Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa Lillahil Hamd’

(Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is most Great, there is no worth of worship , fear , care , love & doer of evrything but Allaah, Allaah is Most great, Allaah is most great, and to Allaah be praise).

Congratulating each other

- On Eid day, we often congratulate each other with greetings such as ‘Eid Mubarak’. However, a better way to greet each other is to take the example of the Sahabah (ra). It was narrated by Jubayr ibn Nufayr (ra), that the Sahabah (ra) used to greet each other on the day of Eid with: ‘Taqabbal Allaahu Minnaa Wa Minka’ ,which means ‘May Allah accept (the fast and worship) from us and from you’. (Fathul-Bari)

Routes to Eid Prayer Venue

- As narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah, ‘On the Day of Eid, the Prophet (saw) used to return after offering the Eid prayer through a way different from that by which he went’. (Bukhari) The reasoning behind this is so that on The Day of Judgement the two paths will testify that you attended this salah.

All of Us , we would like to wish you a wonderful Eid al-Fitr. May Allah (swt) accept all of our fasts and prayers and bring us all endless joy on this blessed day. ( London Muslims Team )

How To Pray Eid-ul-Adha Salah (Prayer)

The Eid prayer can be slightly confusing, since we only do it once a year and it’s necessary to refresh our memory! So we’ve prepared an easy guide to help you pray the Eid prayer. Follow the below steps on both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. (They are based on the Hanafi school of thought).

Please Note :

it is Sunnah to make ghusl and put on your best clothes & perfume . Eid is a celebration, after all!
It is also Sunnah to recite takbeer after leaving your house as you travel to the Eid prayer. This is: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La ilaaha illa-llaah, wa-llaahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa li-llaahil hamd.
There are no nafl (voluntary) prayers offered before or after the Eid prayer.
Just like with other prayers, remember to make your niyyah (intention) before you start. This intention must be present in the heart. However, if you wish to verbalise it too, you can do so as follows, ‘I intend to pray two raka’ah of the Eid al-Fitr/Eid al-Adha prayer for Allah facing the Ka’bah’.

On the Day of Qiyaamah the sacrificed animal will arise with its horns, hair and hoofs. Allah Ta’ala accepts the sacrificed animal before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore, render the Qurbaani wholeheartedly and happily.” (Ibn Majah, Tirmizi, Hakim)

Hadhrat Zaid bin Arqam (radiallahu anhu) narrates that the Sahaabah enquired from Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) about the Qurbaani practice. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “It is the way of your father, Ibraheem (alayhis salaam).” The Sahabah asked: “What will we acquire by it?” Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied: “A good deed (is recorded for you) in return for every hair (on its body).” The Sahaabah asked: “0 Rasulullah! If there is wool on the body?” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “A good deed in return for every strand (of wool on its body).” (Hakim, Ibn Majah)

Hadhrat Ali (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said to Faatimah (radiallahu anha): “0 Faatimah! Get up and be present at your Qurbaani (when it is about to be slaughtered). All your sins are forgiven as the first drop of its blood reaches the earth. Remember that on the Day of Qurbaani its flesh and blood will be brought and after increasing it by seventy times, it will be placed in your Scale of good deeds.” Its flesh and blood will be brought and after increasing it by seventy times, it will be placed in your Scale of good deeds.” Hadhrat Abu Saeed (radiallahu anhu) asked: “0 Rasulullah! Is this reward exclusive for the Family of Muhammad? Truly, they deserve such great thawaab-or is this thawaab for all Muslims as well?” Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “For the Family of Muhammad as well as for all Muslims in general.” (Isbahaani)

Hadhrat Husain Ibn Ali (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “The Qurbaani rendered wholeheartedly, happily and with sincerity of intention will on the Day of Qiyaamah be a shield against Jahannum for the sacrificer.” (Tibrani)

Hadhrat Abu Talha (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) sacrificed one sheep for himself and one sheep on behalf of his Ummah. In this regard Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “This Qurbaani is for the one in my Ummah who believes in me and who acknowledges me.” (Musali, Kabiri, Ausat)

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Fatten your animals (of sacrifice-feed them well), for they will be your mounts on the Siraat (the Bridge over Jahannum).” (Kanzul Ummaal)

There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Qurbani than the sacrificing of animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of Judgement with its horns, hair, and hooves (to be weighed). Allah accepts the sacrifice before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore sacrifice with an open and happy heart. (Tirmizi, Ibne Majah)

Hadhrat Husain bin Ali(radhiyallahu anhu) reported that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said that: ” Whosoever sacrifices with sincerity and for virtue, will enjoy this sacrifice as the cause of safety from Jahannam.” (Tabraani)

Hadhrat Abdullah bin Abbas(radhiyallahu anhu) reported that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said that: ” The best expenditure on the Day of Eid-ul-Adha is to spend one’s money in sacrifice.” (Tabraani, Isbahaani)
