in any way.
Eid,
regardless of being a day of festivity in the lives of countless Muslims across
the globe, is also a day of prayer and introspection. It is quite easy to get
carried away on this day and lose the virtue you rehearsed so much in the month
of Ramadan. Such setbacks can be easily avoided if we are aware of what not to
do right from the morning prayer, the very first task of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Do
not neglect to groom yourself
The
topmost priority of Eid Morning Prayer should be to groom yourself properly for
the act. It is Sunnah scrub down promptly first thing in the morning of Eid,
followed by wearing a fresh set of clothes and adorning oneself with perfume.
Since, prayer is an assembly, it is essential to keep one’s hygiene top notch
so not to bother others during their prayer. On top of that, everyone likes the
company of a well-prepped person.
