Eid-ul-Fitr (Celebration of Fitratallahi):

Eid-ul-Fitr is the Celebration of FiTRAT(fitrat of Allah: nature of Allah). Fasting was done to return the one to his/her original nature to his/her ASL, his ESSENCE. All these efforts were to discard the attachments and perception of the mind and meet in the heart of Rasulullah (SAS) and live the ONENESS(TAWHEED).

We were created in this fitrat so we should have shaken the dirts attached to this nature during Ramadan and return to our essence nature. If we could not reach to that state, our efforts for Ramadan is but a little…

 فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفا ً  ۚ  فِطْرَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا  ۚ  لاَ تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ  ۚ  ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Fa’aqim Wajhaka Lilddīni Ĥanīfāan Fiţrata  ۚ  Al-Lahi Allatī Faţara An-Nāsa `Alayhā Lā  ۚ  Tabdīla Likhalqi Al-Lahi Dhālika  ۚ  Ad-Dīnu Al-Qayyimu Wa Lakinna ‘Akthara An-Nāsi Lā Ya`lamūna

So set thy purpose (O Muhammad) for religion(of Hanif) as a man by nature upright - the nature (framed) of Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah’s creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not. ( Qur’an – [30/30] )

Fasting is not only a mechanical technic giving health gains or to clear ones visions by turning the working mechanism of the body to the opposite way during the ramadan but most importantly it is a SUBHANI SECRET(SIRR)…

Eating food at night was supposed to be done a little. During the fasting , human being turns his face from Divine Name of ALLAH, “Ar-REZZAQ” to another Divine Name of ALLAH, “Al-HAYY”. He finds the liveliness from AL-HAYY by confirming this with his state. A Waliullah , Dr.Munir Derman (k.s) states this in his book,”a friend of Allah says that”. Food is an agent created to manifest the Divine Name, “AR- RAZZAQU (J.J) [Qur’an Ref: 51/58] (kavniy): the Sustainer”. When you have cut eating you have turned your face to AL-HAYY and you said you don’t live by food only but you are alive because ALLAH is AL-HAYY.

AL- HAYYU (J.J) [Qur’an Ref: 2/255]  (dhatī): the Everliving One

This is to go back to FITRAtullah. ALLAH is AL-HAYY and AS-SAMED. You think about what  Sadaqa -ul- Fitr is inshaallah…

We ate at night and fasted during the day. We did the opposite of our routine. We turned ourself to darkness of night and said we are eating from the night and we give up eating from the daylight. You turned your face from daylight to night. What is the importance of the night? Lets not sleep my brothers and sisters. There are mubaraq nights in islam, not days!… Laylat ul Qadr. Layla ul Baraa. Miraj, All of these are at night. Something is happening at that night , what is happening brothers and sisters? Even Qur’an is coming at night to the heart of the Rasulullah (sas). Know the value of your FITRAT in this EID-ul-FITR. It is your FITRAT who is celebrating this if you could come to that FITRAT again inshaallah.

May Your Eid-Ul-Fitr be Mubaraq.

Allah knows best.

As-SalaaM
