Joy in ‘Iyd amidst Tragedy
بِسۡمِ
ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam Muhammad Sa’id ibn
Muhammad Ramadhan al-Buwthi (r.a.) said, “How can we combine between
feelings of joy towards the advent of ‘Iyd and feelings of sorrow for
the afflicted slaves of Allah (s.w.t.) who suffer from adversities? Each issue has its function. They correlate and harmonise with each other,
when I am happy for being Guided by Allah (s.w.t.) to the good, for
being His slave, and for being Protected by Him. It is a mental function that exists in my
mind, and then it spreads in my whole conscience. Similarly, when I feel pain and sorrow for my
fellow Muslims, I get closer to Allah (s.w.t.) through these
feelings. The believer’s heart can
combine between both feelings.”
