What a delight! How beautiful it is! And How amazing! (Yaum al-Nahr)

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

The sight of spilling of blood and its gushing out on the Day of `Eid. That is a sight when a slave (of Allaah) honors the Symbol from the Symbols of Allaah (by offering the sacrifice). And honoring the Symbols of Allaah is a sign of a righteous heart.

ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّـهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ

{That is (so). And whosoever honors the Symbols of Allaah, then it is truly from the piety of the heart.}

[Surah al-Hajj (22): 32]

The Fitnah related with the two Eids:

From the past few years, it is becoming a common sight to see some people – especially those liberals who pretend to be more merciful – making posts and giving out suggestions about the two Eids and the `Ibaadah (worship) related with them. One might be deceived by them into believing that their view is better than what the Sunnah has to offer.

🚫 So every Eid al-Fitr we have the issue being raised of “giving Zakaat al-Fitr in cash” instead of staple food (rice, dates, wheat etc.) to the poor.

🚫 And every Eid al-Adhha we have the issue being raised of “animal cruelty” and “donate the money to the poor instead of sacrificing the animal on Eid”.
