First of all Happy Eid to all Muslims in the world.
Second I have just finished the Eid Prayer in Cairo, I pray in home usually.
Third I have just finished watching President Mubarak praying at the second army mosque in Al-Ismalia and I have a couple of remarks and also questions.
- President Mubarak looks so pale and old.
- He always prays with his sons from the arm forces , why does not he pray with the rest of his sons from the Egyptian people??
- He always prays in this small Mosque in the army base at Ismalia,when will he pray in a big Mosque in Cairo ??
- He always prays in the last row in the Mosque and behind him a wall , when will he pray in the first row after the Emam and behind him people ??
These are just my thoughts about the Presidential Eid Prayer. By the way what I mentioned here is a Presidential tradition in the time of Mubarak.

ReplyDeleteIzzat
Lol yes Eid Saeed to you and to your Dr. Izzat
ReplyDeleteEid Mubarak Z! I prayed Salaat el Eid with 5000 muslims in -21 weather...but it was beautiful alhamdulillah.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean you prayed at home? Do you not pray in a mosque with other muslims? Women are allowed to pray in mosques in Egypt. I prayed Friday prayers in Alex and prayed other prayers in Sayidna el Hussein and Sayidda Zeinab (a very lovely mosque). Salaat ul Eid should be prayed Jamaa as far as I understand.
@N.American Princess, wow mashallah this is great
ReplyDeleteyes the women are allowed but I prefer to pray in home coz I always wake up late and usually in the Adha Eid the butcher comes after Prayer for the sheep
Jamaa is a rule more for men but not for women
Still of course I pray in Mosques
@anonymous, thanks for the invitation anonymous,I will think about it
