Like how?
I would like to share knowledge about this with you...
This is called "Id-ul-Fitr"i.e. "the festival of fasting".
The word "Id" is arabic word that means "festival".
This marks the close of fastingIf you look in the skies, you'll see a another new
moon, marking the beginning of another month (yaani mwezi). Islamic calender follows lunar cycles.
This commemorates the end of month called Ramadhan, is a celebrated with prayers and the exchange of gifts by Muslims communities all over the world.
We also use this day to give charitywhich is called zakaah, which means both ‘purification’ and growth’ in Arabic.
Our possessions are purifiedby setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
Each Muslim calculates his or her own zakat individuallyFor most purposes this involves the payment each year of two and a half percent of one’s surplus savings.
A pious person may also give as much as he or she pleases as sadaqah, and does so preferably in secret.Story story, story come...The Prophet (pbuh) said: ‘Charity is a necessity for every Muslim.’
He was asked’ What if a person has nothing?’
The Prophet (pbuh) replied: ‘He should work with his own hands for his benefit and then give something out of such earnings in charity.’
The Companions asked: ‘What if he is not able to work?’
The Prophet (pbuh) said: ‘He should help poor and needy persons.’
The Companions further asked, ‘What if he cannot do even that?’
The Prophet (pbuh) said’ He should urge others to do good.’
The Companions said ‘What if he lacks that also?’
The Prophet (pbuh) said’ He should check himself from doing evil. That is also charity.’
