Page 517 - from Volume One (Display Image)Facing the qiblah and whoever says it is necessary to face the qiblah, which I say is to prostrate to any face, for God says, wherever they turn, then God s face, and if he is able to face the qiblah, then he is more deserving of combining the outward and the inward. ( Arrived considering it ) God Almighty is free from restriction, for He is the qiblah of hearts, so wherever they turn, then the Face of God is a clear reality without dispute between God s people. He is described as an existing except Him, for if the prostrator combined the two qiblahs as he combined in his creation the two origins of the two hands, then he restricts the one who accepts the restriction and releases the one who accepts the release, so that everyone with a right is given his right, just as God gave everything his creation. ( Arrived in the two Eid prayer season, ruling and deeming ) Eid prayer repetition of witnesses *** as it seems to me of existence If what was of it becomes clear to us *** we will receive it on every Eid My Eid from my presence on the day of goodness *** he bestowed upon me without more Bigger it by seven and then five *** by proximity that is bound by a vein And ask him for what I give myself *** for that day of new clothes And if I were to say with the eye of being ***, I would distinguish what is meant by the seeker But about him, I mean when I am in a state of descent or ascent I call him to him in any case *** and he veils me with pleasure more And I lift his veil from the eyes of myself *** So the sighting makes me suffice for my existence With the water of his life, purify and whoever does not find water for tayammum in Upper Egypt And appointed Taymami my response to myself *** to me without witnesses in witnesses [ The two Eid prayers are Sunnah without adhan or iqaamah ]The two Eid prayers are Sunnah without adhan or iqaamah. They are a day of joy for Eid al-Fitr because of its joy in its breaking, so he hastens to pray to meet his Lord, for the worshiper is conversing with his Lord. The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said to the fasting person, there are two joys, a joy when he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets his Lord So he wanted to hasten the achievement of the two joys, so the Eid al-Fitr prayer was prescribed and he was forbidden to fast on that day, so that in his breaking the fast he would be rewarded the reward of the obligatory acts of servitude so that the reward would be of great measure. The day of al-Adha is to be rewarded for the duties, for they are among the greatest rewards [ The day of Eid is a day of adornment and preoccupation with the conditions of souls .]And since it was a day of adornment and preoccupied with the conditions of souls, such as eating, drinking, and nurturing, it is prescribed for the one who does not have a pilgrimage on that day to open his day by praying in conversation with his Lord in order to preserve him for the rest of his day, for prayer on that day at the beginning of the day is like the intention in prayer. While he is praying, the intention compels him to do so, because when it is present, it is attached to the perfection of the prayer, so its ruling is valid in the prayer, and if the worshiper is neglectful, likewise the prayer on the day of Eid takes the place of the intention and today he takes the place of prayer. That is why it is called the Eid prayer, meaning that it returns to him in every permissible act he does with the reward that the worshiper has when he prays, even if he is neglectful of the validity of his intention. [ Prohibition of fasting on the day of Eid ]For this reason, it is forbidden for him to fast in it in imitation of the takbeer of Ihram and to counteract with it the intention to fast in the event that fasting is obligatory, so that in his breaking the fast he is obligated, as he was in his fast in Ramadan, the obligatory, so all of what he does of the permissible on that day is like the Sunnahs of prayer in prayer and all the obligatory acts that he does on that day The duties of all acts of worship are like the pillars of prayer [ The condition of a person during Eid is the same as the condition of a person who is praying in prayer ]The servant remains on the day of the two Eids his condition in all his actions is the state of the worshiper, that is why we said that it was called the Eid prayer, unlike what he says who is not from our path and does not drink our drink that it is called that because it returns every year, these five prayers are repeated every day and it is not called Eid prayer, even if it is not This is necessary, but it is a statement in the sentence. It is said. If it is said that it is connected to the day of Eid with adornment, we say that adornment is prescribed in every prayer, for God says, Take your adornment at every mosque. |
