Those not paying Zakah assume that their wealth will be reduced if they pay Zakah. They are under the impression that they will derive peace and comfort from their wealth living a luxurious and lavish lifestyle and satisfying their every whim. In fact, all of these things are nothing but a trick of Nafs and Satan that has entrapped many of the rich. Such people should ponder over the fact that their entire wealth is a divinely-bestowed favor. If they keep this in mind, they will find it easy to pay Zakah wholeheartedly besides reaping all of its benefits and blessings described in the Holy Quran and Ahadis; such as, perfection of faith, acquisition of divine mercy and help, piety, righteousness, path to success, a demonstration of Islamic brotherhood, reward of pleasing a Muslim, purity of wealth, getting rid of bad characteristics, blessing and protection of wealth and prayers of the poor for the Zakah-paying person etc. If someone does not pay Zakah after it has become Wajib for him, he will face loss in the world and in the Hereafter. One of the biggest losses of the hereafter is that such a person will suffer great torment. Secondly, the wealth he had saved parsimoniously instead of paying Zakah will be heated in the hellfire and the forehead, back and sides of that person will be branded with it, as described in the Holy Quran. Furthermore, that wealth will become the shackles of his     neck. اَلۡاَمَان وَالۡحَفِيۡظ

As for the worldly punishment, such people face financial loss day by day and ultimately lose all of their wealth. According to a Hadis, not paying Zakah is the main cause of every financial loss on land and in sea. Furthermore, this also causes drought, depriving people of rain.

Method of offering Eid Salah (Hanafi)

First make the following intention: ‘I intend to offer two Rak’at Salah of Eid-ul-Fitr (or Eid-ul-Adha) with six additional Takbirat, for the sake of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, following this Imam.’ Having made the intention, raise the hands up to the ears, utter اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَر and then fold the hands below the navel and recite the Sana. Then raise your hands to your ears, utter    اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَر and leave them at the sides; then raise the hands to the ears again, utter اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَر and leave them at the sides; then raise the hands to the ears once again, utter اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَر and fold them. In short, the hands will be folded after the first and fourth Takbir, whereas they will be left at the sides after the second and third Takbir. In other words, the hands will be folded when something is to be recited in Qiyam after Takbir, while they will be left at the sides when nothing is to be recited. Then, the Imam will recite Ta’awwuz and Tasmiyah in a low voice, and Surah Al-Fatihah and another Suraĥ aloud. Thereafter, he will perform Ruku’. In the second Rak’at, the Imam will first recite Suraĥ Al-Fatihah and another Suraĥ aloud. (Derived from Durr-e-Mukhtār, Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 3, pp. 66)

After the recitation, utter three Takbirat raising the hands to the ears each time and leaving them at the sides. Then, perform Ruku’ by uttering the fourth Takbir without raising the hands, and complete the rest of the Salah as per the usual method. To stand silent between every two Takbirat for as long as سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰه can be uttered thrice is necessary.’ (Bahār-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 781; Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 60)

What to do if somebody misses a part of Eid Jama’at?

If someone joins the Jama’at in the first Rak’at after the Imam has uttered the Takbirat, he should utter the three Takbirat (other than the Takbir-e-Tahrimah) instantly even if the Imam has commenced recitation. Utter only three Takbirat even though the Imam has uttered more than three Takbirat. If the Imam bends for Ruku’ before you utter Takbirat, then don’t utter them in a standing posture. Instead, perform Ruku’ with the Imam and utter the Takbirat in the Ruku’. However, if the Imam is in Ruku’ and there is a strong likelihood that you can utter the Takbirat and join the Imam in Ruku’, then utter them whilst you are standing and perform Ruku’. Otherwise, bend for Ruku’ uttering         ‘اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَر’ and then utter the Takbirat in Ruku’. If the Imam raises his head from Ruku’ before you finish the Takbirat in Ruku’ then do not utter the remaining Takbirat; they are no longer required.
