Fasting Six Days of Shawwal

8/9/2013

Comments

Today, is the second day of the month of Shawwāl (the first day of Shawwal is Eid al-Fitr).

Starting today until Sept. 6, many Muslims will pick six days to fast. These six days of fasting together with the Ramadan fasts, are equivalent to fasting “perpetually,” according to Sahih Muslim. The reasoning behind this tradition is that a good deed in Islam is rewarded 10 times, hence fasting 30 days during Ramadan and six days during Shawwāl is equivalent to fasting the whole year in terms of reward. It is a common misconception that the six days of fasting must be undertaken on consecutive days, but there is no hadith that support or stipulate this.

The Islamic Center of Greater St. Joseph encourages you to choose six days (on the weekends, for example) to fast before Shawwāl‘s end on Sept. 6.

Eid al-Fitr Prayers 2013

8/7/2013

Eid al-Fitr prayers at the Islamic Center of Greater St. Joseph will be at 9 a.m. on Thursday, August 8.

The prayer is followed by a 15 to 20 minute khutbah. Please remember that it is important to remain seated and quiet during the khutbah.

This year’s Fitra is $10.00 per person in the family. Zakat al-Fitra is a religious alms (zakat) paid on the day when Muslims break the fasting period at the end of the month of Ramadhan. It is due prior to the start of the Eid ul-Fitr prayer by the head of household for each person in the household. A Box labeled specifically for Zakat al-Fitra will be available prior to the prayer.

Please remember Eid-ul-Fitr Salat is a wajib (strongly recommended, just short of obligatory) salat of two raka’ah. This salat should be performed with Jama’at. It has an extra six Takbirs, three of them in the beginning of the first raka’ah and three of them just before ruku’ in the second raka’ah. The Eid prayer is followed by the khutbah (sermon) and then a supplication (dua) asking for forgiveness, mercy and help for all living beings across the world.

See press release from the Islamic Center of St. Joseph for the Eid ul-Fitr prayers.
