Eid Ul Fitr- The Festival of Joy
On this auspicious occasion of the festival of Eid Ul Fitr, I have the greatest pleasure in conveying to all Muslim brothers, sisters and children my heartiest felicitations and greetings. Literally translated EID means happiness, bliss and grace. These noble sentiments are great when felt, experienced, and celebrated individually. This happiness multiplies manifold when shared and enjoyed by multitudes, cutting across religions, cultural and social barriers.
We are indeed fortunate to have on us the blessings of such noble festivals in our individual cultures. These occasions give the right meaning and directions to our day to day activities, making material and technological advancement relevant.
Almighty Allah Paak made it a day of happiness for the people who have fasted and completed their good deeds in form of paying Zakaat, performing Traveeh prayers in the nights and helping poor people as much as they can.The faces of these people are beaming, laughing and rejoicing.
On this day Muslims meet with their friends with loving hearts and embrace each other with smiling faces and handshakes such as all these brothers have been victorious together against the battle with Shaitan as commonly seen when a soccer team won the match against a tough opponent.
The holy month of Ramadan had brought with it the opportunity of instilling within us the virtues of sound morals based on the guidelines provided by Islam and the need of greater tolerance, understanding, sacrifice and charity . In every walk of life and in almost every locality, there are tremendous distractions, conflicts and anxieties. Despite growing trends towards individualistic and materialistic way of life, everywhere around us, there is an increasing realization of the need for spiritual reawakening. There is a genuine desire to appreciate, adopt, and practice the principles of love, service and truth. Man is a social animal and derives thrill and fulfillment through his joy with others.
This reaching out, giving of oneself for the happiness and welfare of others becomes self-dedication and when practiced at ethical and spiritual planes. By sharing with others, one's fund of knowledge wisdom, goodness, personal wealth, in general, can ensure an increase in one's capacity and expansion. These great and noble festivals bring us together as fellow human beings. This is the universal spirit to be inculcated and fostered, ever so tenderly and patiently by all of us, individually and collectively. In the words of noble laureate Ravindra Nath Tagore," The worldwide position today is not how to unite by wiping out all the differences but how to unite with all the differences intact, when natural differences find their harmony. then is the true harmony."
As EID is an occasion when community of Muslims at large congregate as one people for prayers of thanksgiving and then disperse for the celebrations of the day with expressions of happiness, I wish to impress upon you the need to maintain cohesion and unity. The concept of UMMAH must be foremost in our minds and in our words and actions. Often, the cause of division is pettiness based on our ignorance of Islam and its value system. It takes ages, lot of wealth and hard work to build a castle but only one matchstick is enough to destroy it. May we therefore use this auspicious occasion of EID UL FITR this year to remind ourselves of our duty as Muslims towards our religion to the concept of UMMAH.
I pray that you will use your knowledge of Islamic values and the pleasant experiences that you have had in Ramadan towards making life more meaningful for yourself and for those around you. It is our duty to ensure that the spirit of EID UL FITR permeates throughout while you are celebrating. Remember that your friends and neighbors should also have an opportunity to join you and experience the joy of the occasion.
I and my family wish all brothers, sisters and children a very happy and memorable celebration of EID UL FITR.
EID MUBARAK TO YOU ALL
