Celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr

Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the greatest Muslim festivals is celebrated with great enthusiasm and entertainment all over the world. It comes after a month-long fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. As an essential element of Islam, the month long fasting prohibits all wrong, inhuman and harmful acts. Falsehood, wrong doing, creating indiscipline and anarchy in society and all kinds of deceptions are sin in the eye of Islam. And the glorious month of Ramadan comes to the Muslims as the month of self-judgement and purification. Eid is also a communion of souls and the occasion for thanks giving to the Almighty Allah. Eid is certainly an occasion for joy by the pious Muslims who follow the commandants of Allah during the Holy Ramadan. On this day the Muslims take bath early in the morning, put on new dresses and use ‘ator’ before going to the Eidgah for offering congregational prayer. After prayer, the Muslims embrace one another and exchange Eid greetings. On the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, the Muslims should pledge to establish an exploitation free society on the basis of religious values. Eid-ul-Fitr teaches the Muslims how to make worldly and spiritual life enriched. (Words : 194)
