Shawwal Roza Niyat aur Namaz - Fasting the Six Days of Shawwal

Shawwal Roza Niyat aur Namaz - Fasting the Six Days of Shawwal

Significance and Importance of the six days of fasting in the Month of Shawwal. 

Hazrat Sayyiduna Ayyub radi allah anhu relates that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days from Shawwal it is as if they fasted the entire year.” [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah; Ahmad transmitted it from Jabir, Muntaqa]

Sayyiduna Thawban radi allah anhu relates that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan, and then six days after Eid, it is an entire year. Whoever does a good deed shall have ten times its reward.” [Ibn Majah, Muntaqa]

Fasting six days of Shawwal from second day of Shawwal month has lots of Blessings and immense reward. These six days fastings are Sunnah, not wajib.

The person who fasts these six days will rewarded with the rewards of fastings for 1000 fast. Fire will be haram for this person and his ammal (judgement day report) will be filled with immense rewards.

Its not compulsory that a person has to keep the six fasts continuously. He can keep it as per his convenience but it must be done in the same month of Shawwal.

Eid Namaz, Salah for Women

Eid Namaz | Salah for Women

It is not permissible for females to perform the Eidain prayers, as there shall be mixing between the men and the women in the Eidgah (place where the Eid prayer is performed). This is why it is not permissible for females to go to the Masajid to perform salaah with congregation; whether they go in day or at night; whether for Jum’ah or for Eidain; whether they are old or young. [This has been stated in Tanwir al-Absar and al-Durr al-Mukhtar Page 114]

Yes, however, before Zawal women can perform the 2 or 4 rak’ats Chasht (Salatud Duha) prayer at home, after the Eidain prayer has finished. [Bahar-e-Shari’at – Vol. 1, Chapter 4, Page 94]


3. If only the women have their own congregation for salaah, then this is also not permissible, as the congregation held by women between themselves (to perform salaah) is not allowed, in fact it is strictly disliked (Makruh-e-Tehrimi). [This has been stated in Fatawa-e-’Alamgiri Vol. 1 Page 80, also in al-Durr al-Mukhtar Page 77]

4. Even if women pray the Eidain prayer on their own, then this is also not permissible as it is a condition to establish the Eidain prayer that it is performed with a congregation. Yes! Women should pray the nafl (supererogatory) salaah on that day; at home, on their own. Insha’Allah they shall receive the blessings and rewards of that day.

Some Masa’il (Rulings) Pertaining To Eid Namaz for Men

1. No Nafl Salaah should be performed in the Musalla before or after Eid Salaah.
2. It is undesirable to perform the Eid Salaah in any other place besides the Musalla without any valid excuse.
3. It is vitally important to listen to both Khutbah after the Eid Salaah. If for some reason the Khutbah is not audible, it is still necessary to
remain seated till the Khutbah ends. NOTE: It is sinful not to listen to the Khutbah.

4. If such an error is made in Eid Salaah which necessitates Sajdah- Sahwa, then the Sajdah-Sahwa could be left out to avoid confusion.

Method Of Performing Eid Salaah

Eid Ul Fitr Namaz ki Niyat

In Hindi: Niyat ki maine 2 rakat namaz Wajib Eid Ul Fitr ki, Zahid 6 Takbiro ke, Muh Kaaba shareef ki taraf, Picha is Imam ke, Allah o Akbar 

In English: “I am performing two Rakaats Eid Salaah which is wajib with six extra Takbir which are also wajib”.

1) Make intention for Eid-ul-Fitr for two Rakats Wajib as above and then lift your hands up to your ears and say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and then fold them below the navel as normal.

2) Now pray ‘Sana’ and then say Allahu Akbar and lift your hands up to your ears and release them and again lift your hands and say Allahu Akbar and release them again and then lift your hands again and say Allahu Akbar and then fold them.

3) This means fold your hands after the first and fourth Takbeer and in the second and third Takbeers release your hands. The best way to remember is that if the Imam shall recite after the Takbeer then fold your hands and when he shall not recite (after a Takbeer) release your hands and hang them on the side.
4) After folding your hands after the fourth Takbeer the Imam will silently recite ‘A’udhubillah’ and ‘Bismillah’ and then he will pray Surah al-Fatiha (‘Alhamd Sharif’) and a Surat loudly and then go into Ruku and Sijdah and (thus,) complete one Rak’at (unit).

5) Then in the second Rak’at the Imam will first pray the Alhamdu and a Surat then lift your hands to your ears and say Allahu Akbar and release them; and do not fold them and repeat this twice. Therefore a total of three times the Takbeer shall be said. On the fourth time say Allahu Akbar and without lifting your hands go into Ruku.

A FEW MASA’IL REGARDING EID SALAAH (EID NAMAZ FAQS)

1. If the Imam forgets to recite the extra Takbirs in the first rak’ah and if he remembers after reciting surah Al-Fatihah, he should recite the extra Takbir and repeat surah Al-Fatihah.

2. If a person joins the Eid salaah after the Imam has completed the extra Takbirs then he should recite the Takbir of Tahrimah and immediately, the additional Takbirs, dropping the hands between the first two additional Takbirs and clasping them after the third, making sure that the hands are raised to the ears on each Takbir.

3. Since the condition of Eid salaah is the formation of a jama’ah, a person who missed Eid salaah is unable to perform the salaah on his own. There is no Qadha for Eid salaah.

4. A person who joins the Eid salaah after the Imam has already recited the Eid Takbir should recite the Takbir immediately upon entering the salaah. However, if he enters the salaah when the Imam is about to go into Ruku and he (the late-comer) fears that he will not be able to join the Imam in the Ruku if he stands and recites the Takbir, then he should instead recite the Takbir in the Ruku, and forgo the tasbih of the Ruku but, while reciting the Takbir in Ruku the hands should not be raised as is done when reciting the Takbir when in Qiyam (the standing posture of salaah). If the Imam emerges from the Ruku and the latecomer has not yet completed the recitation of his Takbir which he had missed then he should leave off the balance of the Takbir and join the Imam. In this case the balance of the Takbir which he could not complete are waived.
5. If someone missed a Rak’ah of the Eid Salaah, he should fulfil it as follows: After the Imam completes the salaah, he (the one who missed the Rak’ah) should rise and perform one Raka’h on his own, reciting Qira’ah (Surah Al-Fatiha plus a Surah) first, followed by the Takbirs. The rest of the Rak’ah is then completed as usual.

Dua on sighting the New Moon (Ruya)

Dua on sighting the New Moon (Ruya)

When you see the new moon on 29th or 30th of the Islamic Month, Read this below Dua (Supplications)



Dua in Arabic on seeing the new moon

Dua in English for sighting New Moon

Allahumma Ahillahu Alayna Bil’amni Wal-i•man. 
Was-salamati Wal Islam.
Wattawf•iqi Lima Tuhibbu Wa Tarda.
Rabbi• Wa Rabbukal-lah.

English Translation of the Dua

O Allah! Let the crescent moon appear over us
with security and Iman; with peace and Islam;
and with ability for us to practice
such actions which You love.

(O’ Moon!) My Creator and Your Creator is Allah.

Some Rules Pertaining To Sighting Moon

1. It is incumbent on Muslims to search for the moon of Ramadhan on the end of the 29th of Sha’ban.
2. The testimony of a fasiq (flagrant transgressor) regarding the sighting of the moon is not acceptable.
3. The testimony of a person (whose personal condition is not known) is acceptable according to Imam Abu Hanifah (R.A.).
4. If someone sees the moon of Ramadhan alone, but for some reason his testimony was rejected, he will have to fast on that day.If he does not, he will have to observe Qadha of the fast. However, there is no Kaffarah on him in this case, if he completes thirty days for Ramadhan and the moon for Eid was not sighted, he will have to continue fasting with the people even if it means that he fasts for thirty one days.
5. The moon for Sha’ban was sighted. The month of Rajab was completed with thirty days and Ramadhan was commenced without the moon of Ramadhan being sighted. At the end of 28th day of Ramadhan the moon or Shawwal was sighted. In this case the people have to make Qadha of one fast.
6. The moon for Sha’ban was not sighted. However, the month was completed with thirty days and Ramadhan was commenced without the moon of Ramadhan being sighted so Sha`ban was also 30 days. At the end of the 28th day of fasting the moon for Shawwal was sighted. In this case two fasts have to be made Qadha.
7. One should not take offence if one’s report of sighting of the moon is not accepted by the scholars. Non-acceptance of information regarding the sighting of the moon is not always because of the reporters being a fasiq or unreliable. At times the sighting of a single person or even of a few persons is not acceptable to the Shariah. Thus, rejection of testimony is based on Shari grounds.
8. If the sky is not clear and thirty days of Ramadhan have passed then in declaring Eid-ul-Fitr there is no difference of opinion even if one person testified for the commencement of Ramadhan.
9. There is no validity in seeing the moon in the day, whether it be before or after Zawaal the moon that will be regarded as the moon of the coming night can only be seen at night.
