Eid traditions

This joyful and blissful day is celebrated to give thanks to the Almighty for his blessings in the holy month of Ramadan. Muslims grace their presence at the congregational prayer service that are held in the morning.

As per Islamic tradition Muslims of all age groups wear new clothes, cook some delicious and tasty food, and invite relatives, friends and neighbours to celebrate the auspicious day with them. Fasting in Ramadan encourages sympathy for the needy and hungry and motivates Muslims to give generously to all the underprivileged.

Fasting has to do with aspects of fast which expresses many basic values of the Muslim community such as charity, empathy for poor and needy persons, steadfastness, worship, patience etc.

There are lots of things which revolve around this festivity.

Fasting is believed by some scholars to praise fundamental distinctions and lauding the power of religious realm, while admitting the subordination of the physical realm. It also instructs Muslims to stay away from the worldly life and desires and to only focus on the Almighty God and thank HIm for blessings received. This is a rejuvenation of this religion and creates an even stronger bond between individual person and the Almighty God. After the end of this holy month of Ramadan, is a vast and big merriment of Eid.

Socialisation is one such thing that is required in every society, for the promotion of mutual understanding and harmony. It is necessary for healthy and sound social life as it motivates people to live their life in cohesive bond.

In addition, religious gathering in festivals is the most effective way of doing so. Religious gathering is different from simple gathering as religious gathering is called as gathering plus.

Eid gives colour of sanctity and harmony among the people and conveys a message in its own sense.
