Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says.
On the occasion of ‘Īd,
today is the second day of ‘Īd.
Sugar festival, ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr, ‘Īd of fasting.
It is its second day today.
Things to be done on ‘Īd are
the accepted things near Allāh ﷻ.
Visiting relatives
is important among them.
Having good ties with relatives
is very beneficial for Muslims.
Those who don’t maintain good ties,
who are angry with their relatives,
have cut those ties.
And there is punishment for that.
It is a sin. It is not merely makrūh,
but a sin when people, out of anger,
don’t visit their relatives on purpose
and don’t talk to them.
Certainly, there are some conditions.
If they are out of religion, no need for them.
But if they are Muslim,
these holidays are the means
to mend ties with them,
to make peace between Muslims.
Especially, if there is resentment
and discontent within a family, that is necessary.
This is not acceptable. People nowadays
interpret things as they like.
Those interpretations are invalid in Islām.
There must not be resentment.
Even if your Muslim brother is not your relative
by blood, there must not be resentment toward him.
You should give salām,
and no need to pursue more.
It is enough to give salām. But to cut off completely . . .
There are some people who don’t
accept your greeting when you give salām.
We have witnessed that. We went to some place,
we visited a madrasah
somewhere in Russia. We gave salām.
We thought maybe the man didn’t hear me.
But then we understood he was Salafī.
If a Salafī gives salām to us, we respond.
If a Shī‘ah gives salām, we respond.
Whoever it is, responding to salām is farḍ.
Giving salām is sunnah, responding is farḍ.
Therefore, this thing is important on ‘Īd.
It is the occasion to forget
about resentment and discontent.
Even if you don’t have much familiarity,
you should give salām. That’s it.
Discontent is not good for you.
It is not good both physically and spiritually.
Because when two angry people are
together in the same place,
there won’t be a nice atmosphere.
They call it bad energy.
They sit angrily, one here and another there.
And they look badly at each other.
That whole condition and atmosphere will be bad.
Therefore, as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created us
and knows us, He ﷻ is teaching us
the best things
through our Holy Prophet ﷺ.
If we do that, we will be at ease.
We are giving just one example here.
And there are many more things.
Therefore, may resentment be gone on the occasion of ‘Īd, in shā’a Llāh.
May goodness come instead.
Because good ties with relatives are important.
People who don’t maintain good ties
with relatives lose their rizq.
It is a cause of poverty.
Therefore, on the occasion of ‘Īd, in shā’a Llāh
angry people should make peace. At least, they should give salām
or send a message by phone
if they can’t meet.
That is also good, in shā’a Llāh.
May Allāh ﷻ let us walk on this beautiful way shown by
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, in shā’a Llāh.
Everything is with His ﷻ permission. May Allāh ﷻ be pleased.
Today second day of ‘Īd, ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá
Turkish they say sugar ‘Īd, Bayram.
Because after fasting they are...
it is blessed day, nice day.
This in ‘Īd we do many thing.
First day ofcourse praying and meeting people.
Three days we must be feast for
muslim, mu’min, make children happy, make family happy.
Visit friend, visit especially relative.
It is very important to visit relative if they are not far.
You can visit them.
This very important in Islām to be good with your relative.
Many people they are fighting and they are not speaking to each other.
This is not from Islām.
You must be close to your family, especially relative.
This is order of Allāh ﷻ.
When you do this, Allāh ﷻ be happy with you.
If you do, you are fighting, not speaking to them.
This is sin from Islām.
Also not only makruh or not good saying.
No. It is you be make sin.
Which you must ask forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ
and you must be in touch with this people.
If you are not so happy, just no need to
be not speaking to them.
You can make greeting them, salām, sending something.
No need to be too much together
but not to be not speaking.
And even this for Muslim between each other.
Also cannot be mu’min who believer,
good muslim, to be fighting with other muslim
and not speaking to them more than three days.
Maybe some people they are
not happy with other not speaking at all.
But if they are, you must make at least
make greeting them, salām,
salāmu ‘alaykum or say anything like this.
Because muslim must be soft, must be
accept what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla,
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla He ﷻ create us
and He ﷻ gave us what is best
life...to be in life, in new life,
to be happy, to be get every good thing.
He ﷻ teach us. And this is special for this.
When somebody greeting you,
you must also greet them.
Because if there is people
fighting and they are not happy with...
each other and they are in same place,
so everyone not happy in this place.
Because this people they have tension,
they are not happy with each...together.
So they will be this place not good.
But if they are peace and people happy,
everybody happy in their side.
You, especially for salām,
you can make salām.
I think if anybody
they send, saying salām, you must repeat for him.
This is what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying.
We are following his ﷺ order
and we are in ḥamdu liLlāh ṭarīqah, meaning his ﷺ way, his ﷺ way.
Anybody saying for you,
you are... once I have been in some place
in russia, like tatarstan or something.
There one madrasah, they invite us there.
And we go through... through there, we walking.
So few people they have beard.
I said, ṣalāmu alaykum. Not replying.
I thought maybe I, my voice it's...
not, he didn't hear but he was like...like this.
After I know they were salafī, wahhābī.
When you say salām, it's not taking salām.
They not reply your salām.
This is not to reply salām obligatory, farḍ.
To say salām sunnah, to make
wa-‘alaykumu s-salām, it's farḍ.
But maybe somebody is coming place, many people,
one of them if you say salāmu ‘alaykum,
one of them say wa-‘alaykumu s-salām, it's enough for all of them.
But if not, all of them they be sinner.
For this I know this was salafī but
our ṭarīqah anybody saying salām for you,
Salafī, Wahhābī, Shī'āt, Mu'tazila,
anyone saying salām you must
we reply for them this is salām.
Because this is, we not looking for that.
We looking for order of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, we reply.
And other we not...
obligatory to look what he is,
he is this, he is that, he is that, no.
For this you must say salām for
your relative and to be visit your relative also
very important for benefit for you.
Make your rizq, provision,
provision to be you get this provision.
Without this you become less provision.
You must, you may becoming poor.
For this very important to be, if you have,
you like to have more richness,
you must visit or to be in touch with them at least.
This is for ‘Īd. It's occasion for
to be good relationship with people and to
to fix your...
relationship between them, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ﷻ bless you. Wa-min Allāhi t-tawfīq, al-Fātiḥah.
