'Eed: A Time for Joy between Spouses
'Eed: A Time for Joy between Spouses
Sep 19, 2024 5:41 PM

  On the morning of the day of 'Eed,mosques echo with the sounds ofTakbeer (the words 'Allahu Akbar') Tahleel (the words 'Laa ilaaha illaa Allah') and tears flow expressing grief over the departure of the beloved month of Ramadan, the month of blessings, patience, generosity and bounties. Allah The Almighty gives us the gift of 'Eed, which are days of happiness and joy that envelop all members of the family including the spouses.

  On that day, the souls of the spouses become purified and their hearts act as one, in accord with each other. Thus, we feel the spirit of happiness hovering over their house and the fragrance of love, cordiality, tolerance and fun is felt everywhere.

  This is the only way to actualize the meaning of 'Eed in the true sense of the word.

  However, for some people, 'Eed may spark quarrels, particularly in the morning, due to the limited time and distracted minds when preparing to go out.

  Such quarrels fill the souls with anger, which transforms 'Eed from a source of happiness into an occasion for fights. In this case, the result would be that the spouses would go to visit their relatives with angry faces and depressed souls.

  The happiness of 'Eed hovers over the happy house:

  - They should ask Allah The Almighty sincerely to accept their fasting, night prayer and all their sincere deeds and to lengthen their lives to witness Ramadan many times.

  - Organize all that your family will need when going out two days before the day of 'Eed. Prepare the clothes of your husband and children and all the items you will need and keep them in a suitable and easily accessible place.

  - After the Fajr (dawn) prayer, do not forget to make Istighfaar (seek forgiveness) and recite the supplications of the morning, in addition to saying Takbeer and Tahleel. Raise your voice until all the members of your family hear you and feel the happy atmosphere of 'Eed.

  - Spouses should visit their family and relatives and spend time with them.

  - Make yourself and your husband happy so that you find its influence on your actions and behavior. Overlook all that might anger you, and remind yourself and your husband, whenever you see the ghost of anger approaching, that this is 'Eed and that you should be happy and change your life for the better.

Bad Language: A Destructive Habit
