Abu Bakr Zoud – Before Celebrating Eid Know What You Are Celebrating

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

Brothers and sisters in Islam,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

before you celebrate Al Eid for the sea,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

you need to understand what you are celebrating.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

And, of course, the Sahaba,

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

they used to congratulate one another on the

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

day of Eid saying Takab Bar Allah Minnaum

00:00:18 --> 00:00:18

Minkum.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

They used to or they would say to

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

each other may Allah accept from us and

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

from you.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:24

So

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

you are actually celebrating

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

the fact that Allah has enabled

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

you to perform righteous deeds,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

that you are able to recite Al Quran,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

engage in a dhikr,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

do al Ubhia,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

pray prayers,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

fast,

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

and so on.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:44

So

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

does it make sense that if a person

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

was to abandon righteous deeds

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52

throughout these 10 blessed days and on the

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

day of Eid he says

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

to and he hasn't done anything and he

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

hasn't made any effort

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

to increase his righteous deeds.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

So let's be careful my brothers and sisters

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

in Islam

00:01:05 --> 00:01:05

and

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

engage in these righteous deeds and actions

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

from now and increase in that because Allah

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

azza wa Jal loves,

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

he loves

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

to see from the servants

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

that they are doing righteous deeds. He loves

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

ahabbu

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

illallah.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

Can you imagine

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

that you know Allah

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

loves righteous deeds in these days

00:01:29 --> 00:01:29

and you abandoned

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

and your attitude

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

during these 10 days is just like your

00:01:34 --> 00:01:34

attitude

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

before these 10 days,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

this is not appropriate for the believer.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

So work

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

hard, increase your righteous deeds,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

commit to something,

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

and keep going. So that on the day

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

of the Eid, you say

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

and you're intending with this. May Allah accept

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

our righteous deeds that we did during these

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

10 days. We ask Allah to grant us

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

goodness. We ask Allah to free us from

00:02:04 --> 00:02:04

the
