Eid: The Recurring Happiness!
Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha are the two major yearly holidays of Islam. Eid-ul-Fitr
follows the month of fasting, Ramadan. Eid-ul-Adha falls on the 10th day of
the Islamic month of Zul Hijjah. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet
Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael for the sake of God. May Allah's peace
be upon these two great Prophets. Eid is a day of thanksgiving and generosity.
Muslims start their Eid by gathering together for a congregational prayer.
Eid is also a day of remembrance. The congregational Eid Prayer glorifies God
and demonstrates the remembrance of God’s Favours. Along with the remembrance
of God, Muslims remember the deceased by praying for their salvation, the needy
by extending a helping hand, the distressed by consoling them, the sick by cheerful
visits, and everyone by pleasant greetings and sincere kindness. The meaning
of remembrance on Eid transcends all limits and expands over far-reaching dimensions
of human life.
Every year Eid reminds Muslims to do their best to return true peace and happiness
to the World through a month-long process of abstinence, obedience, and care.
In this Eid Muslims should try to share the joy of Eid with their family, friends,
and all of humanity. Let us make a resolve to make everyday a day of thanksgiving,
a day of remembrance and a day of recurring happiness and festivity for people
of all colour, faith and ethnicity.
