Muslims in Gaza woke to bombing mixed with Eid takbeers from mosque minarets..so the Muslims' enemies take pleasure in spoiling the joy of our religious rituals.

Nevertheless, we say to all Muslims: Show joy in Eid:

1. Because Allah who commanded us to care about Muslims' affliction is He glory be to Him who legislated for us to rejoice in our obedience: (and complete the period and magnify Allah for guiding you and perhaps you will be grateful).

2. Show Eid joy to enrage those who want to spoil it for us. Enraging enemies is a good deed: (nor do they tread any path that enrages the disbelievers nor inflict upon an enemy any infliction but that is registered for them as a righteous deed). They want to see us in hardship and sadness: (they wish you would suffer and hatred has already appeared from their mouths and what their breasts conceal is greater)..so don't fulfill their desire.

3. So we spread joy in rituals in our children's souls so they love this religion and glorify it.

Ibn Taymiyyah said: "Eids are among the most distinctive features by which religious laws are distinguished."..

And Ibn Hajar said: "Showing happiness on Eids is among the signs of religion."..

And remember with that Allah's saying: (That, and whoever honors the symbols of Allah - indeed it is from the piety of hearts).

The important thing: That the Eid celebration not contain prohibitions, rather we remember we're worshipping Allah by showing our joy, so how can we worship Him through disobedience?!

So yes, we feel pain for our brothers and care about them and support them with what we can, and at the same time rejoice in Eid through lawful means and enrage our enemies with that.

O Allah be with our brothers in Jerusalem and Gaza and everywhere. O Allah help us support them, and take revenge on our enemies and theirs, and decree for this Ummah a matter of guidance, honor and empowerment, and give us a hand in it O Lord of the worlds.

And may every year find you, Al-Aqsa and all Muslims well, and the criminals and hypocrites in humiliation, disgrace and failed scheming. May Allah accept from us and from you.
