Saad Tasleem – 5 Tips for an Amazing Quarantined EID!

			Alright, let's talk about being quarantined this year for eight.
		

			So I know a lot of us may be feeling like this to AIDS is just not going to be the same, it's going
to be different. But being different doesn't mean that this can be an amazing aid. So I have five
tips for you to make this one of your best reads ever. Number one treat this age like you would
treat any other age to start off with fulfill all of these sunna's the regular practices that you
would do in any previous age. So some Sooners have read taking a bath in the morning, putting on
nice clothes smelling nice just because you're not leaving the house, it doesn't mean that you
shouldn't dress up and look nice for eat. We all know that putting on nice clothes and being clean
		

			automatically makes us feel better and can make us feel happy as well. And this is the day to do
that. Likewise eating something in the morning we know the parsee sanlam as it's been mentioned
inside body that he wouldn't leave his house on the date of eighth until he has eaten something so
even though we're not leaving our houses we should begin our day with eating something to remind
ourselves that this day is not a day of Ramadan, it is the day of celebration, it is the date of the
day after Ramadan. Number two is the council. The council fittler is the charity that is given at
the end of the month of Ramadan. What is the purpose of this account and fit that? Well, first of
		

			all, it purifies our deeds and makes up for any shortcomings that we had during the month of
Ramadan. And also equally important it is to help those people who may not have the means to
celebrate the day a very so those people who are less fortunate it is to provide a meal for them.
And that is why actually there's a Captain fitler that meal that we give as charity has to be given
before the prayer on the day of their aid. And that is why they are sending them said as it's been
mentioned in widowed men. A couple of follow up a here's a cartoon mock Bula woman at the Salafi a
son of cartoon, Minnesota caught whoever gives it before the prayer meeting their eighth prayer
		

			here, then this is counted as a charity is counted as these accounts and fitflop. And whoever gives
it after the prayer than it is just a charity like any other charity, meaning it doesn't count as
these accounts are faithful. So in this manner, this is no different to any previous part of our he
is looking out for those who are less fortunate making sure that they have the means to celebrate it
as well. And at the very least they have a nice meal to eat on the day of aid. So just because we're
at home, it doesn't mean that we can't be charitable towards others, and have that charitable spirit
on the day of aid. And that leads me to my next tip number three, reach out to others, especially
		

			those who are in need those who may be by themselves on the day of aid. There are those who are by
themselves simply because of the circumstance that we find ourselves in. Simply because we're
quarantine there are people who have been separated from their families. So it is important that we
reach out to those people to make sure they don't feel alone. Even if it's just a phone call. There
are those who don't have families, there are those who are, for example, new to Islam, and they
don't have anyone to celebrate with it is our responsibility as their brothers and their sisters to
reach out to them and help them feel connected and happy on this day. Likewise, those people who may
		

			be going through a rough time, maybe Previously, we didn't have time to reach out to them. But this
day, the day is the day where we make a special effort to reach out even if it's just a phone call
something we can do to let them know to remind them that we are here for them and that they're not
alone, even if they're physically alone in this moment. Number four, pray the prayer at home. Yes,
this year, we're not going to the mesh didn't bring your aid with the whole congregation. But we can
still pray the prayer it has been narrated by an assembly a low on that for the one who misses their
eighth prayer they can pray the eighth prayer at home with those people who are in their houses. And
		

			this definitely applies now that we are quarantine so whoever you have in your house, get together
and pray the eighth prayer as the eighth prayer is normally prayed except there is no sermon there
is no hook but for this a prayer. And so this eighth prayer is not about quantity. You don't have to
collect your neighbors and your family members and bring them over have them break their quarantine,
just pray with whoever you have in your house. And yes, that will be a different experience in
previous years. But that different experience can also make it a special experience. Maybe this year
our hearts will be more connected to the prayer because we're praying them with a few of our loved
		

			ones number five in previous years we would congratulate people in person we know the companions
would congratulate one another so for example they would say the cup but a low minimum income they
would say May Allah accept from us and accept from you even though we're not physically with people
it doesn't mean we cannot get in touch with them and congratulate them. And since we're home since
we have a lot more time this year, reach out to people as many people as you can give them a call,
get them on zoom get them online and congratulate them and help them feel good about this day have a
day of celebration upon the completion of the month of April.
		

			above. So the key idea in all of these tips is not only to do what we would do in previous aids, but
it's actually to do more make even more of an effort to make this aid special as we're quarantined
at home. So it is our responsibility to help one another make this eight extra special so that is
what I have for you. But I would also love to hear your tips as well. leave them in the comments
below and I would love to read them and if I don't get to speak to you on aid, or even robotic to
all of you, may you have a blessing to eighth and May Allah accept my good deeds and all of your
good deeds as well until next time, Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
