Eid-ul Fitr Is Only A Connotation Of Joy Or More?
The New Nation
Dr. Forqan Uddin Ahmed :
This Eid-Al-Fitr is primarily a feasting day after the strenuous 30 days of fasting in Ramadan which is the 9th month of the Islamic Calendar. Apart from that, this month and Eid celebration also signifies the achievement of communication with the celestial spirit and religious merits, characterized by sacrifice, self-discipline, and charity. With fasting, prayers, and charity, one becomes a modest person and attains self-control. The three basic reasons for celebrating Eid-Al-Fitr are narrated as showing gratitude towards God for being a constant guide in the fasting month of Ramadan, going to the Mosque and praying at least five times a day and asking God for forgiveness and to carry out the act of charity towards the poor and needy and it is called "Zakat-Al-Fitr"
