Amir al-Mu’minin `Ali b. Abi Talib (as) gave a sermon to the people on the Day of Fitr, saying: O people! This day of yours is the day when the righteous are rewarded and when the wrongdoers lose. This day of yours is a day most resembling the day of your resurrection. So, remember how your exit from your houses to your places of prayer is like your exit from your bodies to your Lord. Remember how your standing in your places of prayer is like your standing before your Lord. Remember how your return to your houses is like your return to your houses in Paradise or the Fire. Know, O worshipers of Allah, that an angel calls to the fasting men and women on the last day of the month of Ramadan, saying: “Be glad, worshipers of Allah, for your past sins have been forgiven. So, look to how you resume.”
