Literally, the month of Ramadan is not only the month of worship but it makes us conscious about living of hungry and deprived people. In this month, we ask Allah for forgiveness by virtue of extra worship. Resultantly, our all sins are forgiven at end we believe so.However, the sins we committed by doing wrong with our relatives, or anyone are not forgiven unless (s)he forgives. It is called Haqoq-ul-Ebad (rights of human). In the whole month, we try to build up the best relation with Allah Almighty and on the eve of Eid, which is one of two festivals in Islam, we try to reconstruct the relation with the close ones and beloved ones. Begging forgiveness from each other on this occasion is religiously practised, which makes this day more pleasant.Besides this, Eid-ul-fitre is an invitation from Allah Almighty to all fast keepers, so to keep fast on this day is prohibited (haram). This is also called "the day of gratitude to Allah Almighty Who strengthens us to worship Him consistently throughout the month of Ramadan. This day demonstrates the unity among Muslims from local to international level.What do we do on this occasion.?We get up early morning as always. Having performed morning pray, we get ready for participating in congregational pray of Eid. So, first we take bath, wear a new dress, eat any sweet or dates before coming out from home to Masjid (Mosque) exulting repeatedly in low tone “Allah is Great, Allah is Great, there is no god but Allah, Allah is Great, Allah is Great and All praise be to Allah.“ we all Muslims gather in a mosque (Masjid) or in a large ground where congregational pray of Eid-ul-Fitre is performed.After pray, we embrace each others without distinction of colour, races, classes, etc and say Eid Mubarak to each others whoever we embrace or meet on the way to home. On this occasion, we even don’thesitate to embrace those brothers, relatives and friends having bad terms with them. In this way, we bury our hatred born against each others by either mistakes or miscommunication and thus, get another chance to rebuild a good relationship.Personally, I like embracing those who hold grudge against me. By doing so, I feel peace. The Eid makes it easy for us to reconcile differences with our brothers. Such Environment helps to constitute a peaceful society. Notwithstanding all this, If any Muslims, who don’t avail this opportunity and strengthen their ego, are at their own fault. There is nothing wrong with Islamic teaching for promoting peace or establishing the peaceful society.We go to the grave of our elders and beloved ones with a plenty of roses or petals of roses in a large amount, cover their grave with roses and then pray to Allah Almighty for their forgiveness. Then, we come at home where our mother and sisters make traditional foods and different sweet dishes for us and guests to come at home. Oh! I forgot to mention very important thing i.e Eidi, collection of money from elder and distribute them among younger sisters, brothers, nephews and nieces. There is no loss no profit, but we enjoy a lot this circulation of money. E I D M U B A R A KPS: please forgive me if I hurt you for no reason. If there is a good reason, please improve yourself too. :D
Sister Onee thank you for forgiving me and I forgave you in return hoping that you will not repeat your mistakes lol.(kidding) Unfortunately, I am not receiver anymore lol.
Happy Eid to you and your family though it is too late :)
Brother Arif,, you explained our activity very detail and clearly. I like those parts in this celebration. I do, too. Visit and eat in Eid days! Even my younger brother could eat 5-6 times a day.lol
I have a question,, you are the receiver or distributor?.lol.kidding. *peace. You know, I still received money when I was 21 years old.lol.
Please forgive me if I hurt you intentionally or accidentally, too. Oh, sure I forgive you.:D I always improve myself after someone throw a little stone to my head.hehe..
Eid Mubarak to you too, Arif. Eid Mubarak to you all muslims all over the world.
I am also grateful to members like you who try to understand global heterogeneity and wish to connect with each others. To be honest, I am here just for people like you. Yes, Eid gives us special feeling. Let me tell you one more thing that smile on my face throughout the day explains my inner feeling how much I am happy.
This is a brief explanation about this festival. I didn't mention how our mother and sisters prepare themselves and celebrate this day. They become busy as soon as appearance of moon is officially declared. Actually, I, after reading many blogs on Eid, noticed that no one elucidated why we celebrate this festival. So, I just tried to add some additional information about this day. I am so much glad that you found it useful. I am also curious about other's cultural, festivals, important days they celebrate.
Thank you so much for commenting and liking my blog.
Last year I learned about this tradition from a similar blog written by other friend. Well, that's why I like reading blogs like this since I'm curious about other cultures and I'm grateful to members like you for sharing it. Now I understand better ramadan too.
I guess this must be a special feeling for all muslin.
Eid mubarak.
Eid mubarak Arif sahib! Me naraz, lakin agar eid aya, me boolgaiga mera naraz. Eid is a great opportunity to forgive one another. It's a chance for reconciliation. We give money for those who need it most. The children are happy because they know that they will be given a lot of money. Eid mubarak Arif janab!
