RAMADAN – PREPARING FOR EID DO’S & DON’TS OF RAMADAN (PART 6)

(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)

In my previous post it was considered that how Muslims with little or no knowledge follow the religion of their ease and the previous post highlighted that RAMADAN – IMSAAK STOPPING SUHOOR DO’S & DON’TS OF RAMADAN (PART 5) which spotlighted the norm which society was adopting in the thought of accepting the right.

However, today we would be considering an entire new norm which has become a forest fire among people with less knowledge and awareness. It is about time that you understand and practice such instances that are known highly among our Lord, Allah (SWT) and for which rewards are bigger.

This is true when said that people are ignorant on their part when it comes to Ramadan and its blessings and this is where they consider it as a normal custom following to what their elders did, but all without the true knowledge and understanding. Do you know Ramadan is divided in three Ashrahs (phases) and after the third one it’s the festivity of Eid.

Well not many know that although Eid is festive and shall be celebrated but a little all know that before Eid we Muslims Start preparing for it thus crowded seems to be the shopping malls. But a little we know that the last phase of Ramadan is the most important phase which shall be dealt in prayers, worshipping and Quran recitation in abundance rather than wasting the precious most time in shopping.

Aa’ishah (RA) said: “When the (last) ten nights began, the Messenger of Allah (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam)) would tighten his waist-wrapper (i.e., strive hard in worship or refrain from intimacy with his wives), stay awake at night and wake his family.” (Bukhaari and Muslim).
