Me and all my friends together celebrating Hari Raya :)
Selamat Hari Raya.. I know it was too late but for me, celebrating Hari Raya has no end point :)
Basically, Hari Raya is the celebration for all muslim after they are fasting for about 1 month.
The question is Why we(muslims) fasting? The answer is simple, which is "Pillars of Islam".
What are the Pillars of Islam? It is the things that we must do if we are muslim, because "There is no god worthy of worship except Allah S.W.T and Muhammad S.A.W is His messenger"
There are 5 Pillars of Islam:
- Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophet hood of Muhammad
- Establishment of the daily prayers
- Concern for and almsgiving to the needy
- Self-purification through fasting
- The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.
Just to make a clear cut, Hari Raya is the day in which we are as a community of muslims , we gather together, and ask for forgiveness.
Allah says in the Qu'ran: "Everyone
shall taste death. And only on the day of resurrection shall you be
paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the fire and
admitted to paradise, this person is indeed successful. The life of this
world is only the enjoyment of deception:" (Qur'an 3:185)
- Prayer of righteous children
- Amal Jariah (charity related to Islam)
- All the knowledge which are taught to others
