Manners of Hospitality
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
Must Perform Īṣāl al-Thawāb
Dear Islamic brothers! Today is Eid; it is a happy occasion. On this day, remember those relatives and Muslim brothers who are no longer with us and have passed away. Be kind to them too!
How can we do this? We can do this through Īṣal al-Thawāb. We fasted, prayed Tarāwīḥ, heard the noble Quran, recited it, prayed Tahajjud, and performed Nafl prayers. We spent Ramadan remembering Allah Almighty and sending ṣalāt upon the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Send the reward of all those deeds, and all the pious deeds you perform today, as a gift to the deceased. This is being kind to them.
It is mentioned in a Hadith:
The state of the deceased in the grave is like a drowning person. They wait intensely for the prayer of a father, mother, brother, or friend to reach them. When a prayer reaches them, it is better in their sight than the world and everything in it. Allah Almighty grants the people of the grave the reward sent by their living relatives as mountains of light. The gift of the living for the dead is to pray for their forgiveness.[1]
It is narrated: Whoever recites سُبْحٰنَ اللہِ وَبِحَمْدِہٖ 300 times on the day of Eid and sends the reward to the souls of the deceased Muslims, 1,000 lights (Anwār) enter the grave of every Muslim. And when the reciter himself passes away, Allah Almighty will send 1,000 lights into his grave too.[2]
O Lord of Mustafa! Grant us the ability to celebrate the joys of Eid according to the Sunnah, whilst being kind, helping others, and sharing happiness. O
