Eid Mubarak: The real Joy!
The Prophet of Allah salallaho alahey wa alehey wasalam said;
“On the day of eid(when people gather to offer eid prayers)
Allah SWT asks the Angels,
‘Have these people fulfilled the obligation (of fasting)
and are now gathered for prayers?
I swear by My pride,
magnificence, majesty,
mercy and
elevated status
that I will fulfill their prayers.
Tell them to return,
I have forgiven them all
and furthermore
I have replaced their sins with virtuous deeds.’
Hence they return completely forgiven.” (Mishkat/Bahaiqi)
On our eid visit to Sayyidi wa sanadi Hazrat Mawlana Mohammad Taqi Usmani sahib db we always found him to be extremely happy and cheerful, repeatedly telling us Arifbillah Dr Abdul Hayy Arifi ra’s saying regarding Eidul fitr, “We are excessively blessed individuals today! All our sins have been forgiven. They have been bartered by good deeds. We are completely clean and tidy.”
An unimaginable joy!
