CELEBRATION OF EID-UL-FITR IN TRINIDAD & TOBAGO Eid-ul-Fitr or Id-Ul-Fitr, often abbreviated simply as 'Eid', is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic term meaning "festivity" or "celebration" while Fitr means "to break the fast". As in other parts of the world Eid ul-fitr is marked with great sadness and jubilation. Sadness that the blessed month of Ramadan has ended, and great happiness that we have completed our fast and Inshallah (God willing) our fast would have been accepted. Muslims celebrate not only the end of fasting, but also thank God for the help and strength that they believe he gave them throughout the previous month to help them practice self-control. New clothes are bought to be worn to mosque for Eid prayer. Mehindi or henna is applied to the hands of the sisters. The Eid prayer is recited in congregation in mosques or in an outdoor area (a ground or park) to accommodate the large numbers who attend this prayer. | |
Condolences to the all the Muslims of the Universe and all freedom and justice loving people on the occasion of the anniversary of the Martyrdom of the Commander of the Faithful, the Brother of the Prophet Muhammad(S), Imam Ali ibn ibn Abi Talib(A).
Also, on the advent of the Nights of Qadr (Power, Destiny, Fate), which range from the 19th of Ramadhan to the 27th of Ramadhan, it is important to focus on our belief, on our sins and on reforming ourselves, first internally and on a personal and individual level, then on a familial level and then on a social level.
Throughout the world, we can see much oppression and injustice, we can see natural resources plundered, we can see global chaos, and in these days the words of Dua al-Iftitah:
O Allah, we ardently desire that in [his] kind, just, and fair era,
Thou should reactivate Islam and stimulate its followers,
and humble and humiliate the imposters and their double-dealing,
and include us among those who invite people unto Thy obedience,
and lead them to Thy approved path,
and give us the good of this world and the world to come.
and also
O Allah, we feel uneasy about and are disturbed by
the departure of our Prophet,
Thy blessings be on him and on his family,
the absence of our guardian-friend,
too many enemies,
our numerical scarcity,
widespread disorder,
and the vicissitudes of time.So send blessings on Muhammad and on his family,
and help us to overcome this state of affairs at once.Disperse the ominous clouds hanging over our heads;
lend a helping hand to achieve success;
bring in the rule of justice and fair play;
make us bright, free from grief;
and take care of us.
Through Thy mercy, O most Merciful.
It is important for all to reflect on this supplication, which as mentioned in previous editorials is recited daily during the blessed nights of the Month of Ramadhan.
We should also reflect and read the Quran and reflect upon the contents therein; while there is a spiritual value in reciting Quran; there is far more benefit from every perspective – be it personal, spiritual, educational, mental, sociological, political, economical, etc – in reading the Quran and reflecting upon it’s words and learning from it.
You can listen to the entire Quran here on Islamic Digest by going to our Quran Library.
Allah, the Mighty the Sublime has told us that the Nights of Qadr are more valuable than 1000 (one thousand) months in terms of their spiritual weight; we should all strive to gain the most benefit from these nights and achieve the pleasure of Allah, which will by its very nature give us calm and peace in our hearts; after all; in the Quran, Allah says:
Verily it is in the remembrance of Allah that hearts find peace
(Quran, Surah Yusuf (Joseph), Ayah (Verse) 28)

تولد امام حسن مجتبي مبارك
زندگينامه و فضائل اخلاقي آن حضرت

Imam Hassan Mujtaba (AS) was the first grandson of the
Holy Prophet (SAW) and also the first offspring of the holy matrimony of Imam Ali (AS) and Hazrat Fatima (SA). He was born in the middle of Ramadhan, 3 A.H.Imam Hassan was cared and loves by his grandfather for seven years. In his childhood he accompanied the Prophet (SAW) to the mosque and when he (SAW) prostrated, he would climb upon his shoulders. The Prophet (SAW) would remain in prostration for a longer time and let the child sit on his shoulders.
Imam Hassan (AS) was one of the four persons who accompanied the Prophet (SAW) under the `Aba" (clock) when God sent down this verse:
"Allah"s wish is but to remove uncleanness from you, O people of the Household and cleanse you with a thorough cleansing." (33:33)
Once when Christian scholars had come to Medina to talk to the Prophet (SAW) and to enquire about his call to Islam, a heated debate ensued. For this reason, each party took their dearest of kin to the dessert and appealed to Allah to curse the party who uttered falsehood.
One day during his childhood, he with his brother Hussain (AS) saw an Arab man performing ablution. In as much as he didn't perform the ritual properly, they decided to show him how it should be done. But in order that he might not be annoyed, they suggested to him that they perform ablution, and the man judge which ablution was correctly performed. The Arab man said: "Both your ablutions are perfect and mine is wrong." He was amazed at their politeness and asked them who they were and kissed their faces.
As to the features of his face and body, Imam Hassan (AS) had healthy pink cheeks, black eyes, thick beard, curly thick hair, silver-white neck, symmetry of body, broad shoulders, firm muscles, slender waist, middle stature and handsome looks.

One day he passed by a group of poor people in the street who had spread a cloth on the ground. Seeing Imam Hassan (AS), they invited him to lunch with them which was nothing but crumbs. Imam accepted the invitation and took a few morsels and then he took them home and gave them food and clothes. He made pilgrimage to the Holy Kaba 25 times on foot, whereas he had full-bred horses. The Holy Prophet (SAW) had said that Hassan (AS) and Hussain (AS) were both his children and Imams, whether they rose up or secluded themselves. In the battles of Jamal and Siffin, Imam Hassan (AS) fought by his father's side and displayed great valor. Some historians narrated that during the caliphate of Umar ibn Khattab, Imam Hassan (AS) was a conqueror of part of the Iranian territory.
