Brilio.net - Eid al-Fitr means "a holiday that returns a person to his natural state or nature" or "a holiday that returns a person to a clean and holy state". Eid al-Fitr is so glorious that it is given after Muslims are told to test their desires. Passing the test is given by purifying oneself.

On the eve of Eid al-Fitr , the cities are filled with crowds. The melodious sound of takbir can be heard echoing from the ceilings of mosques and prayer rooms, accompanying Muslims in worship and prayer. In every corner of the city, Muslims flock to the mosque to perform Tarawih prayers and pray together.

In the silence of the night, Muslims busy themselves with dhikr and prayer. They pray that all the acts of worship performed during the month of Ramadan will be accepted by Allah SWT. In every prostration, in every tarawih, they ask for His forgiveness and blessing. They pray that the blessings of Ramadan will be perfect, accompanying every step they take towards Eid al-Fitr.

Eid al-Fitr is not only about victory over oneself, but victory over lust and darkness. By offering prayers on the night before Eid al-Fitr, Muslims hope to receive forgiveness and blessings from Allah SWT. They pray that every mistake they have made in the month of Ramadan will be forgiven, and they will be given the strength to continue to worship and do good afterward.

The night before Eid al-Fitr is a moment full of emotion and solemnity. In the final moments of the month of Ramadan, Muslims increase their prayers, asking Allah SWT to give them the strength to remain istiqomah in carrying out their worship after the month of Ramadan ends. With full hope, they welcome Eid al-Fitr with hearts full of joy, because they believe that their prayers will be answered by Allah SWT.

Here, brilio.net reports prayers for the evening of Eid al-Fitr to complete the blessings at the end of Ramadan, Monday (8/4).

Eid al-Fitr is a very meaningful day for a Muslim. It is on this Eid that they are returned to their natural state. This virtue can be obtained by anyone who successfully passes the test of lust in the month of fasting. This achievement makes Eid al-Fitr very special.

Eid al-Fitr begins at the end of the month of Ramadan. In Islamic teachings, the change of day begins when dusk appears on the western horizon. Those are the moments that begin to be filled with virtue. The night of victory full of forgiveness has come for Muslims.

After a month of galvanizing oneself to surrender to Allah, a Muslim is encouraged to always maintain and improve it. Devotion to God is manifested by celebrating Hari Raya by lighting up the night before Eid. In a hadith it is stated that it means,

"Whoever qiyamul lail on the two nights of Id (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha) for the sake of Allah in order to hope for His pleasure, then his heart will not die on the day when the human heart dies," (HR As-Syafi'i and Ibn Majah ).

Therefore, it would be good to fill the evening of Eid al-Fitr with deeds that have the value of worship. You can do various things to glorify Allah SWT as a form of piety. Proclaiming takbir is a common practice on the eve of Hari Raya. It would be good if you really liven up the night by adding qiyamul lail and special prayers for the night of Eid al-Fitr.

"O Allah, bestow Your mercy on Prophet Muhammad and his family, lamps of wisdom, lords of favor, sources of protection.

Protect me from all evil because of them, don't punish me for delay and negligence, don't make the end of my affairs a loss and regret, be pleased with me, indeed Your forgiveness is for the wrongdoers and I am one of them,

O Allah, forgive me the sins that do not harm You, give me grace that does not benefit You, truly Your mercy is wide, Your wisdom is beautiful, give me space, peace, security, health, gratitude, protection (from all diseases ) and piety.

Pour patience and honesty on me, on my lovers because of You, give me ease and don't make difficulties with it, cover with those gifts to my family, my children, my brothers because of You and the parents who gave birth to me from the Muslim community , as well as the believers who believe."
