*EIDโS ETIQUETTE!*
The day of Eid al-Fitr is a day of gratitude, joy, and obedience to Allah.
It is not just a celebration โ
it is an act of worship.
From the guidance of the Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ:
1. Take a bath (Ghusl)
Prepare yourself in cleanliness and dignity.
2. Wear your best (halal) clothes
Appear neat and presentable.
3. Eat before going to prayer
The Prophet ๏ทบ used to eat dates before the Eid prayer.
โ Sahih al-Bukhari
4. Say the Takbฤซr:
