💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Actual happiness on Eid doesn't really imply
Feeling "relieved" that the days of fasting have gone by,
"Thrilled" that Taraweeh is no longer prayed or required,
And "eager" to resume sins that were paused for a while,
Like one bids Ramadan "farewell" and tells shaytan "hi!".
~•~
Don't make Eid a "welcome back party" for Allah's foe,
By returning the Mushaf on shelves just for decor,
Viewing Qur'an reading in other months as a chore,
Listening to songs, watching indecent films galore,
Or making yourself believe gossip isn't abhorred.
~•~
Don't satisfy nor entertain shaytan by acting
Immoral as though not one progress and improvement
Can be seen in you after you've spent some days fasting.
One would be pleasing shaytan if they keep committing
Wrongdoings on purpose like stealing and backbiting.
~•~
True joy on Eid can be felt by those who did their best
In spending Ramadan rightly, on acts of worship,
Reading Qur'an often, spreading good vibes and kindness,
Seeking Allah's Forgiveness for the sins that one did,
And striving to have one's faith strengthened and nafs guarded.
~•~
Happiness on Eid isn't in dancing and music,
Not in reconnecting with haraam relationships
And reconciling with deeds that are prohibited.
Happy are those whose Tawbah and fasts are accepted,
And good deeds they continue bring inner happiness.

Ibn Al-Qayyim said, “It is said that the reason he did this was to greet the people with peace who lived on both fairways, or so that the blessings of his passing would reach both areas, or to fulfill the needs of those among them. It is said that he did so to establish the symbols of Islam in the various roads and paths. Another reason given is that he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam did so to frustrate the hypocrites when they witnessed the might of Islam and its people. It is said that he did so in order for the various areas to testify to his obedience to Allah. Surely, he who walks to the mosque and the place of prayer will earn this virtue: One step raises him a degree and another erases a sin until he returns home. It is also said, and this is the correct opinion, that all the reasons mentioned here are possible as well as other unknown wisdom that always accompanied his actions.”
