Ramadan 2026: Ashra of freedom from hell is going on and Eid is about to come. Allah is being worshiped through namaz, roza, recitation and good deeds. On Wednesday, March 18, the 28th Roza was celebrated in the memory of Allah and the Prophet. Prayers are being sought with lots of crying. Taraweeh prayers are continuing. The fasting people are busy in Itikaf.
There was a lot of prayer on the last (29th) night of Shab-e-Qadr. Eid shopping is in full swing in the market. On behalf of Al Kalam Association, a stall of religious books named 'Books are Calling' was set up in Markaji Noori Jama Masjid Ahmednagar Chaksha Hussain, which was highly appreciated by the people.
Maulana Ghulam Hussain Aziji, Shamshad Khan Bhola, Muzaffar Hasnain Rumi, Asif Mehmood, Hassan, Nehal Ahmed played an important role in setting up the stall. Sameer Ali of Ghaus Azam Foundation, Mohd. Faiz, Aman Ahmed, Riyaz Ahmed and Mohd. Shariq distributed Eid kits of food items among the needy.
Whereas followers of Islam will complete the 29th fast on Thursday, March 19 and see the new moon of Eid (Shawwal month). If the moon is visible then the festival of Eid will be celebrated on Friday 20 March. If the moon is not seen then the festival of Eid will be celebrated on Saturday 21st March after completing the 30th fast on Friday. Ulama Kiram has completed preparations to see the moon.
City Qazi Mufti Muhammad Azhar Shamsi said that sighting of the moon during the five months of Shaban, Ramzan, Shawwal, Jikada, Zilhijja is obligatory. Prophet-e-Islam Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that the month is of 29th and also of 30th. Start the fast after seeing the moon and end the fast after seeing the moon. If the sky is not clear then complete the count of 30.
Mufti-e-Shahar Akhtar Hussain Mannani said that Eidgah means a place of happiness or a time of happiness. This is a place where people offer two Rakat Namaz and thank Allah. When a person completes 29 or 30 days of fasting, Allah Almighty orders him to celebrate.
Qari Muhammad Anas Naqshbandi told that offering Eid namaz in Eidgah is the Sunnah of Prophet-e-Islam Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and Sahabah Kiram, hence efforts should be made to offer Eid namaz in Eidgah only. Idgah has been built for two Eids only.
While going for Eid-ul-Fitr prayers, Takbeer Tashreek 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha Illallah, Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wa Lillahil Hamd' will be recited slowly. It is Sunnah to offer Namaz at Eidgah and then to return by changing the route, to go on foot and to recite Takbeera Tashreek on the way. On the day of Eid-ul-Fitr, the Prophet of Islam would eat something and take it to Namaz. They would go to celebrate Eid via one route and return via the other.
Eid prayers can be offered twice in Eidgah or mosque with the permission of Qazi: Ulama Kiram
