Eid al-fitr prayer time. Happy Eid al-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr)! Congratulations from the head of the JMR on the holy holiday of Eid al-Fitr

Firstly, the scale is smaller. It is traditionally believed that football has more fans than hockey. This is fair, because hockey is popular only in North America and Europe, while football is played all over the world. Take, for example, the last European Football Championship in France. The championship arenas accommodated from 33 to 80 thousand people, and this is the usual capacity for stadiums in any top championship. The largest hockey arena in the world - Montreal's Bell Center - seats 21 thousand fans, while in Europe there are only 2-3 ice palaces that can accommodate more than 15 thousand guests.

In Russia, in each round of the Premier League there are several matches with an attendance of about 20 thousand, Moscow-St. Petersburg derbies attract 40 thousand. And the maximum for Russian hockey is 12,500 spectators in two ice palaces. The last Gagarin Cup final was played in the tiny LDS CSKA.

Since fewer spectators come to matches, there is less crowd tension, fewer aggressive fans, and there is less likelihood that this aggression will spill out somewhere.

Fans from different countries rarely found

In football there is the Champions League, which gives a fan from Manchester a reason to visit a dozen European cities, and at the same time socialize, try local alcohol and test himself in a fight against the background of foreigners. The Hockey Champions League still weighs too little in the coordinate system, and the only chance to overlap is the World Championship, whose significance is approximately at the level of the football Confederations Cup.

The Olympics are a celebration where we hug, not fight. Mostly home fans come to the youth and junior championships; rare guests are fans of hockey, not fighting. Well, who would travel from Toronto to Ufa just to punch the locals in the face?

There are fights anyway - on the ice.
Hockey is a tough sport where you get sent off for embellishing a foul on yourself (even if there was a foul). Fights were and remain a part of hockey, even if the NHL has reduced their number to a minimum in different ways(you can’t argue against concussions and lawsuits). Perhaps it is enough for the spectators to relax during a fight between hockey players, but there is no longer any emotion or desire left for fighting among themselves. In the end, we also rarely hear about fights between boxing fans.

Traditions

The most important and combining the previous point. Football fans have been fighting since the beginning of the century, hockey fans are simply not used to doing it. It’s not for nothing that we always try to translate “fans” as “fans” if we're talking about about hockey. In North America there is simply no such fan culture, there is a culture of support. In Russia there are minor fights and riots. But the participants in such actions are mainly the same football fans who came to support the club of the same name in the off-season, for example CSKA.

Hockey is attended by wealthier people, usually families, while football matches attract mainly young people. At hockey it is not customary to use pyrotechnics (fireworks, smoke) or hang banners. Perhaps the main reason for this is closed type hockey arenas. Or a more prosperous contingent of hockey fans is playing a role. One way or another, hockey fans are calmer, unlike their football counterparts, who start fights before, after or even during matches.

In general, there is more violence in hockey on the ice than in the stands. Let's hope that every year the level of culture and decency among hockey fans will increase. And no one is stopping true sports fans from watching the game.
Using material.

By the way, a couple of weeks ago I was able to attend the SKA - Lokomotiv hockey match. I admit honestly that the last time I was at a hockey game was in 1989, when I was still a schoolboy. Below I will present a few photos from that match.


Fans of St. Petersburg SKA who pushed the team forward.

The situation on the ice was tense.

They caught me on camera during a break.

And here is the moment of one of the shuffles on the ice.

The fans are on edge.

There are a lot of children at hockey.

This is Anton pantv , who kept me company. See his post about this match. There are a lot of photos there.

The guy rocks great.

Thanks to MasterCard, PR agency Ketchum Maslov and, in particular, Anastasia Androsova for the invitation to the hockey match.

The blessed month of Ramadan has ended. The faithful have ended their fast, and now they traditionally celebrate its end.

In St. Petersburg, at the sites of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region - in Krasnoe Selo, on Vasilyevsky Island and in the city of Luga, Leningrad Region - festive services were held.

In Local religious organization Muslims "Luch" in Krasnoe Selo St. Petersburg, believers began to gather as early as 4 o'clock in the morning. Traditionally, places to commit holiday prayer there wasn’t enough, so dozens of people spread prayer mats right on the street.

The imam delivering the sermon Abdula Kamaev said:

“I cordially congratulate you on the holiday of Breaking the Fast - Eid al-Fitr Mubarak! Praise be to Allah Almighty, who bestowed upon us His mercy and forgiveness, eased our lot and helped us to adequately endure the fast prescribed for us during these long summer days. How beautiful the fast was, how beautiful the Taraweeh was, how beautiful the worship was during these blessed days. Now our hearts are full of sadness, and our eyes are full of tears from parting with this month. And we all together ask our Creator:

“Oh, our Lord! Do not leave not a single sin of ours unforgiven, not a single burden of ours alleviated, do not leave behind us a single unpaid debt. O our Lord! Grant us the blessings of this world and the Eternal World, save us from the torments of hell and bless us with Paradise.”

And we also pray to Him that He accept our fasting and prayers, accept our repentance and grant us forgiveness, that He accept our alms and alms, all our godly deeds and reward us with Paradise, promised by the praiseworthy Prophet (peace be upon him):

“Verily, there is a gate in Paradise through which only those who fast will enter. This is the gate of ar-Rayan.” I wish you all the best, be as active in godly deeds in the remaining months as you are in the month of Ramadan. Amen".

Congratulations to Muslims on behalf of spiritual leader Russian Muslims - Sheikh Mufti Ravil Gainutdin Imam spoke Salih Kadeev:

“Dear brothers and sisters! As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh! Peace be upon you, the mercy of the Almighty and His blessing! Praise be to Allah Almighty, the Lord of the worlds, one of the greatest holidays of our religion - Eid al-Fitr - the holiday of breaking the fast (Eid al-Adha), marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan compulsory fasting. Today, our fellow believers in all corners of the world offer words of gratitude to Allah Almighty and rejoice with us. Taking this wonderful opportunity, allow me on behalf of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims Russian Federation, the Council of Muftis of Russia and myself personally sincerely congratulate you all on this happy holiday Eid al-Fitr and ask the Creator of all things to accept our fasting and our prayers, increase the reward for good deeds and forgive our sins!

It would seem that just recently each of us was excited about the beginning of the month of Ramadan, spent our days in prayer and fasting, and rejoiced at every good deed. But time has no way of stopping or going back, and we see off this month of Ramadan with sadness. We used these few days for our spiritual and moral enrichment - we read and studied the wisdom of the Holy Quran, spent time in worship, helped the needy and sick, shared our meal of breaking the fast with fellow believers and distributed alms.

Today we give praise to Allah Almighty, loudly pronouncing the holiday takbirs for the fact that He has given us the opportunity to complete the fast in good health and peace. On these holidays, we will visit relatives, remember our ancestors, give gifts and offer prayers for peace and prosperity to our Fatherland. May the fast of the month of Ramadan serve as forgiveness and healing from all physical and spiritual illnesses, strengthen our faith, cleanse us from everything obscene, and teach us to distinguish what is permitted and useful from what is forbidden and harmful. We hope and ask the Creator to grant us the opportunity to next year meet Ramadan in good health and peace."

“In the name of the Most High, the Merciful, the Merciful! As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh! Peace to you, the mercy of the Almighty and His blessing, dear fellow believers!

With a joyful heart, I congratulate you, your family members and all believers on one of the main holidays of Islam - Eid al-Fitr - the Feast of Breaking the Fast, which in the post-Soviet space is better known as Eid al-Adha.

The blessed Ramadan has ended, which means each of us must sum up our Fasting, must answer the question: “How close have I become to the Lord God during this time?”, “Did I take advantage of all the benefits that I brought with me?” holy ramadan? One of the main meanings of fasting is to cultivate a sense of generosity and compassion, which must be preserved even after Ramadan.

The final Messenger of God (peace and blessings of the Almighty be upon him) said: “The best of people are those who bring more benefit to other people” (“Sahih” Al-Bukhari). During this month, the faithful treated their relatives, friends, and neighbors. They shared a jug of drinking water with their neighbor. They presented each other with a date in the first minutes of iftar. By doing such seemingly insignificant things, we, in fact, fulfilled the main purpose of this time - cultivating compassion and generosity towards others. But it is important to keep this to yourself until the next Lent.

Brothers and sisters! Today we will cover good table, let's invite friends and family and share with them a festive meal at the end of Lent. But I would like, brothers and sisters, that we remember today those who, due to the depressing financial situation, being in distress, cannot cover festive table and reward yourself for your Fast with delicious and rich food. We must remember that not all of our brothers and sisters on the planet are as well off as we are.

I sincerely congratulate you on the advent of the great holiday of Eid al-Fitr - Eid al-Fitr and I pray to the All-Merciful Creator to accept our fasting and prayers, alms and good deeds that we performed during the days and nights of the past Ramadan!”

The Feast of Breaking the Fast fell on Blessed Friday this year. In this regard, juma prayer is traditionally held at the residence of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. Imam Salih Kadeev talks about the results of fasting that every Muslim should sum up for himself at the end of Ramadan.

Ramadan Bayram holiday

Eid al-Fitr holiday

Eid al-fitr and zakat al-fitr

When the blessed month of Ramadan ends, and with it the pious fast, one of the two major holidays of Islam begins, called “Eid al-Fitr”, or the Feast of Breaking the Fast (this holiday is better known to Russian believers as “Ramazan Bayram” or "Eid al-Fitr")

Festive services on the first day of Eid al-Fitr begin in mosques and specially designated places approximately 30-40 minutes after sunrise (end of morning prayer). Depending on the region, this time may vary, so it is better to check the start time of the holiday sermon and prayer in each locality in advance.
For every believer, a holiday is participation in the common joy of fellow believers and a good opportunity to replenish spiritual experience.

For a Muslim, the holiday of breaking the fast is a farewell to the blessed days of the month of Ramadan. And, looking back, he thinks about the spiritual acquisitions of this time. How did he spend the days of the best of all months of the year? Didn't you waste them on quarrels? unseemly acts, bad thoughts?

Or, remembering the special honor of this month, when, as Muslim theologians said, for every good deed performed by a believer, Allah Almighty bestows him with a high reward, did he strive for piety both in thoughts and in deeds? And therefore Ramadan Bayram is a summing up of the past month, when every Muslim was given a good opportunity to improve himself through observance strict fasting, a greater desire for piety, providing charitable assistance to those in need, as well as acquiring knowledge useful to a person.

According to Sharia, in Ramadan Bayram, Muslims are required to indulge in the mood of the holiday, eating food and drink, but they cannot fast on this blessed day. They celebrate the Feast of Breaking the Fast by gathering in the temples of God - mosques, so that the whole world can comprehend the joy of the great holiday. Main ritual performed by believers in a mosque is a festive collective prayer-namaz. The general prayer is led by the imam - the leader of the prayer, who, as a rule, is the most educated and God-fearing believer. He loudly pronounces words of praise to the Almighty God, recites excerpts from the last Holy Scripture- the Koran, and at the end of the prayer, raising his hands, he turns on behalf of the Muslims who completed the prayer to the Lord with a prayer for the Almighty to accept their fast, for the forgiveness of sins, asks God for prosperity in this life and success in the next life, for the gift True path to the lost and perseverance of spirit to the righteous. After this, Muslims, fingering their beads (“tasbih”), collectively read dhikr - words of remembrance of the Almighty (these are certain phrases or individual words on Arabic, pronouncing which, the believer expresses his love for the Creator). When these rituals of worship of the Almighty are performed, many Muslims will linger in the mosque to end the holiday in a blessed place and hear the reading of the Holy Quran.

On this day, it is also customary to visit cemeteries, remembering the dead, read passages from the Koran over the graves and ask the Almighty to ease their fate. Muslims find another benefit in such a visit: “Visit cemeteries - it will remind you of the Day of Judgment,” says one of the hadiths (sayings) of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

Ramadan Bayram is marked by another important religious injunction: on this day, Muslims pay a donation to needy people, called zakat ul-fitr or sadakat ul-fitr.

  • Day of Salvation of Muslims from Hell
  • Reward Day
  • Day of Muslims shaking hands with angels (Malaikas).

Our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “When the holiday prayer was completed, one of the angels said: “Let everyone know that the Lord has forgiven you. So return to your homes with joy. Today is reward day. And this too is proclaimed in heaven.”

The great holiday of Islam, Eid al-Fitr, is:

  • Day of reconciliation of people who are offended by each other.
  • Visiting Elders Day, a day to give gifts and make people happy and fair faces orphans, disadvantaged, lonely people, widows and children.
  • Day of Muslims treating each other.

On this day, 1.5 billion Muslims, regardless of their language, skin color and place of residence, rejoice with the angels.

At sunset last day Ramadan begins the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. At this time, it is advisable to begin to recite the festive takbir:

“Allahu akbar (3 times), La ilaha ila Allah wa Allahu akbar wa lillahi l-hamd.”

This takbir is read before Eid (holiday) prayer. Information about this prayer can be found here http://www.islam.ru/e-namaz/unreg/.

It is advisable to spend the night before the holiday of breaking the fast in worship of Allah. The hadith says that prayers read at this time are accepted by the Almighty. Those who find this difficult should try to devote at least part of the night to the remembrance of Allah. It is also advisable to read the night (al-Isha) and morning (al-Fajr) prayers in the mosque on the day of Eid al-Fitr.

In addition, on the eve of the holiday prayer it is recommended:

  • get out of bed early
  • perform complete body ablution (ghusl)
  • cut your nails
  • wear the best and most beautiful clothes
  • brush your teeth with miswak
  • scent yourself with incense
  • put a silver ring on your finger
  • have breakfast before Eid prayer, eating something sweet
  • greet Muslims
  • show joy and cheerfulness
  • go to visit
  • congratulate believers on the holiday, wishing them that Allah will accept their fast
  • visit the cemetery, graves of loved ones
  • give alms
  • invite relatives, friends and acquaintances to your home.

Eid al-Fitr occurs on the first day of the month of Shawwal, however, the second and third days of this month are also holidays.

It is also important to remember that during the month of Shawwal it is advisable to fast for six days.

The hadith says:

“Whoever fasts Ramadan and then fasts for six days of Shawwal will receive the reward of fasting for a year.” It is not necessary to fast all days at once, you can take breaks, but it is still recommended to fast for six days in a row, starting from the second day of Eid al-Fitr.

Al-Fitr donation

This is almsgiving for breaking the fast. This year, the amount of zakat ul-fitr for low-income citizens is 50 rubles; for people of average income – 150 rubles; for the wealthy – 250 rubles.

Unlike zakat, which a wealthy Muslim must give for his property, zakat ul-fitr is an obligatory charity for the body of a believer who has celebrated part of the month of Ramadan and the month of Shawwal that follows it. The poor and needy are exempt from paying zakat ul-fitr, moreover, it is good to give this alms to them.

The purpose of almsgiving is to help needy Muslims. These include: the beggars (fakir), the poor (miskin), Muslims who have recently converted to Islam - to support them, as well as people who are unable to pay off their debt, people who are far from their home and have no means of transportation , and some other categories of people. Zakat is not passed on to one's relatives or one's family members.

The words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) serve as a warning against erroneous steps when paying zakat ul-fitr: “Truly, there are people who use zakat money without rights. For them is Fire on the Day of Judgment” (hadith reported by Imam Al-Bukhari). When giving alms, there must be an intention to fulfill this obligatory requirement of our religion, which is Zakat ul-Fitr. This intention is accomplished at the moment of paying alms.

Today, many Muslims, following the tradition of their pious ancestors, spend the month of Ramadan fasting. And therefore, Eid al-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr) for them is a true joy, it is a holiday of the believing soul, which sadly says goodbye to Ramadan, the most beautiful time of the year. May the anticipation of his coming always be joyful for you, the observance of fasting - desirable, and parting with pious days and nights - bright.

Rules for paying Fitr alms:

According to the Hanafi madhhab

A Muslim who has property sufficient to pay zakat (nisab) also pays al-fitr alms. The obligation of a Muslim to pay fitr between the dawn of the first day of Eid al-Fitr and the beginning of the festive congregational prayer is very close to a mandatory requirement - wajib. According to the Hanafi madhhab, fitr can be paid both before and after this time. But the most preferable time for paying al-Fitr alms is wajib - from the dawn of the first day of the holiday until the beginning of the holiday prayer.

It should be noted that in order to fulfill this duty, it is enough for a Muslim to have certain property for a given specific time (at the beginning of time morning prayer the first day of the holiday), and not throughout the year, as is necessary when paying annual zakat. Calculating wealth in in this case slightly different than when paying zakat. Here, those things that are not intended for sale, but are available in excess of what is most necessary, also count.

A Muslim who is classified as “having wealth” is prohibited from receiving this alms. If he is offered to receive sadakat ul-fitr, he must explain the situation and politely refuse.
The head of the family pays this alms (if he is the owner of the property) for all family members under his care, including children born before dawn of the first day of Eid al-Fitr. The traveler (musafir) is also obliged to pay sadaqat ul-fitr. Fitr is paid from the property of orphans and incapacitated children by their trustees. If the trustees do not do this, then the wards - the first after reaching the age of majority, and the second after recovery - will themselves have to deduct fitr for all the past years.

Sadaqat ul-fitr can be paid to one poor Muslim. It is also permissible to distribute it among several poor people. Likewise, one poor Muslim can receive al-fitr alms from several people. The recipient of Sadaqat ul-Fitr according to the Hanafi madhhab does not have to be a Muslim. But it is much preferable to pay this alms to a fellow believer, since this, by the will of Allah, will bring more grace to the giver.

Sadaqat ul-Fitr according to the Hanafi madhhab is paid in the amount of 0.5 sa'a (1750 grams) of wheat or wheat flour or 1 sa'a (3500 grams) of a choice of barley, dried grapes or dates.

According to the Hanafi madhhab, 1 saa = 4 mud = 728 mithqals = 1040 dirhams of lentils, 1 mud = 875 g; These figures are obtained as a result of simple calculations based on the following data: 1 dirham = 3.36 g, 1 mud = 2 rytl, 1 rytl = 130 dirham = 91 mithqals. Thus, according to the Hanafi madhhab, sa'a is rounded equal to 3500 grams (1040 x 3.36 = 3494.4). In fact, 3500 grams is a little more than one saa, and this is better for us, since precautions have been taken. In case of deduction of 0.5 saa, we get 1747.2 gr. Therefore, we give round 1750 grams or, if desired, 2 kg of wheat (or flour).

If there is no shortage of wheat, barley or flour in the area where the payment of Sadaqat ul-Fitr is made, then it is better to deduct an adequate value in money instead. Moreover, it is more preferable to pay the cost of the most expensive product at at the moment. In lean years, it is more appropriate to pay fitr alms with the products themselves: wheat, barley or flour.

According to the Hanafi madhhab, it is recommended to deduct fitr in the form of the product that is currently most valued or the value of this product in the form of money. If it is difficult to give fitr in the form of wheat or flour, then you can pay in bread or corn. This replacement is not made by weight, but according to the cost of the product.

This entire set of varieties and options for payment assumes the greatest effect and benefit that comes with the obligation to deduct fitrah alms for the poor and needy, and, consequently, to obtain the greatest benefit for the giver.

According to the Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali madhhabs

According to the Shafi'i madhhab, sadakat ul-fitr is not paid before the month of Ramadan, and according to the other two - before the first holiday Eid al-Fitr. Al-Fitr alms are also paid by those Muslims who, for whatever reason, did not fast.

The payment of al-fitr alms is obligatory for all Muslims who have funds exceeding the cost of one day's food. Moreover, both wheat and barley must be paid in the amount of one saa.

In these madhhabs, one sa'a is equal to 694 dirhams, and 1 dirham = 2.42 g, therefore, 1 sa'a = 694 x 2.42 = 1679.48 g or, rounded, 1680 grams.

According to the Maliki and Hanbali madhhabs, it is preferable to give fitr in the form of dates, according to Shafi'i - in the form of wheat or wheat flour. According to the Shafi'i madhhab, it is impossible to replace wheat or barley with money.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds!

After completion holy month Ramadan on the first day of the month of Shawwal celebrates Eid al-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Fitr). This afternoon the holy fast ends. Eid al-Fitr is called a minor holiday in contrast to big holiday- festival of sacrifice Eid al-Adha, or Eid al-Adha.

For a Muslim, the holiday of breaking the fast is, first of all, a farewell to the blessed days of the month of Ramadan, when one could grow spiritually, help those in need, and strive more for piety.

Worship

Night On the eve of Eid al-Adha, people spend their time in the service of Allah. It is advisable to perform night and morning prayers in the mosque jamaat. This night they read Holy Quran, dhikr, salawat, dua, etc. With the onset of midnight and before Eid prayer, it is advisable to take care of personal hygiene (bathing in honor of the holiday, cutting hair and nails, brushing teeth, etc.).

Eid al-Fitr (Uraza Bayram, Uraza Ait) begins with the onset of evening prayer the day before. Before the holiday sunnat prayer (id-namaz), it is advisable to read takbir, exalting Allah, both in the evening and in the morning, and when there is a change in condition, etc. On the day of Eid al-Adha, Muslims, after performing ablution, put on festive clothes and rush to the mosque for Eid prayer.

After the holiday prayer, they exchange congratulations, visit relatives, neighbors, acquaintances, other Muslims, receive guests, treat traditional dishes, give gifts to a friend and wish that their fasting and prayers will be accepted by the Almighty, as well as health to their relatives and friends, peace to their families.

On the holiday of breaking the fast they go to the mosque, to the tombs of local saints and to the cemetery to the graves of relatives. In honor of relatives who died during a given year, a wake is held, inviting a mullah home. Also on this day, it is customary to visit parents, elders and the sick, visit cemeteries, remembering the dead, read the Holy Quran over their graves and ask the Almighty for Mercy towards them.

Sadaka and sah. On this day alms are distributed to the poor. It is important by this time to remove the obligatory Zakat ul-Fitr (sah) for every Muslim and give it strictly for its intended purpose.

Fast The month of Shawwal is fertile for additional worship of Allah; fasting is desirable for 6 days. Sharia law prohibits fasting on the blessed day of Eid al-Adha. It is better to start fasting immediately after the holiday; it is not necessary to fast for six days in a row. On Shawwal, missed days of Ramadan fasting are made up.
