Qurbani & Things to do on Eid

Qurbaani

The Sunnah of Ibraahem alayhi salaam -the Qurbaani. It is to be performed on 10th, 11th or 12th Zil Hijjah. One may sacrifice a thousand animals on days other than these, but it will never be regarded or considered a Qurbaani.
Here, a believer is taught a great lesson that an action or a place or a time does not hold any virtue in itself; but rather it is Allah’s command and order that changes the status, level and grade of things. Regarding Qurbaani, the Prophet saIlallahu alayhi wasallam said:

"There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Qurbaani than the sacrificing of animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on (he Day of judgement) with its horn, hair, and hooves (to be weighed). The sacrifice is accepted by Allah before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore sacrifice with an open and happy heart."

Tirmizi V1 pp275, Ibne Maajah V1 pp226

May Allah ta’aalaa bless us with spiritual gains and His Pleasure in these blessed moments. Aameen.

Things to do on Eid

The special acts of the month of Ramadhaan (fasting) terminate with the coming of Eid. The first day of Shawwaal is called Eid-ul-Fitr and the tenth day of Zil Hijjah is called Eid-ul-Adh'haa. These two Eids are of great rejoicing for the Muslims.

On the day of Eid-ul-Adh'haa the following things are Sunnah:

To adorn oneself as permitted by Shari'at.
To take a bath.
To clean the teeth with Miswaak.
To wear the best cloths that one has.
To use perfume.
To rise early in the morning.
To go to the Eid Gaah very early.
To avoid eating before going to the Eid Gaah.
To offer Eid prayer in the Eid Gaah, that is not to offer it in the mosque of the locality without any legitimate excuse.
To go to the Eid Gaah by one way and to come back another way.
To go on foot.
To recite slowly on the way to the Eid Gaah,
“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Laa ilaaha illallahu Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wa lillahil Hamd."
"Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. There is no deity besides Allah and Allah is the greatest. Allah is the greatest and all praises are forAllah only."

Mas'alah: It is Haraam to fast on 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th Zil Hijjah, (i.e. 'Eid day and three days after) and the 'Eid-ul-Fitr.
