What is Eid-un-Sa'eid about?
Eid-un-Sa'eid is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9: a classic Eid day nasheed by Zain Bhikha, played in many homes around the world every Eid.
The song begins with Muslims all over the world, under the big blue sky, coming together to worship Allah. Eid is a time of brotherhood and a time of peace, when families gather and remember Allah. Between the verses comes the takbir of Eid, the words Muslims say on the way to the Eid prayer: Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahil hamd. The song thanks Allah for the day. All praise and thanks are His, the joy of Eid comes only from Him, and this day of rejoicing and peace is His gift to those who believe.
The chorus is in simple Arabic that children pick up quickly: "Eidun sa'eed, yawmun farhan, yawmun jameel". A happy Eid, a joyful day, a beautiful day.
The video is filmed with real families. Children sit together in a masjid, friends and families embrace, men share tea, children play outside in the sunshine and a table is laid with sweets.
It is a good song to play on Eid morning, and a way to teach children the words of the takbir and why Eid is a day to thank Allah.
