Eid is Muslims festival and it is a boisterous event. Muslims celebrate two times in a year. First time after Ramadan and second time after haj. First Eid is also called choti Eid (Small Eid) and second one is Bakra Eid (Goat Eid) also known as Eid-ul-Azha. Actually Eid is a festival of sharing everything with destitute people. Like our compassion, kind, care, and grief with others. These festivals help needy people to stabilize. Because Muslims people give zakat before this Eid to poor people. Zakat is not merely in the sense of money, it should be clothes, food, and happiness. Probably it’s possible the next person merely needs your intentions. Thus culture helps for unification and kindness.

On this Eid, it’s special because of corona. Everyone is stuck at home and enjoying this Eid with their family. But remember it. This lock down is temporary, if we go outside then the cons of this is high. Maybe then we face some permanent one. That’s why, people started our day very carefully. They went to mosques but they didn’t offer hugs with others. Hug on the day of Eid is a very dominant thing, the reason behind that is to share your pain with others and give you tranquility. And science proved this because many people feel calm. On this blessed occasion people share our grief and pain; feel cool. This is beauty of our religion without any discrimination, no one can make difference between black or white, Educated or ignorant, Wealthy or poor. Everyone smiles, spreads smiles and that is a fantastic moment of the whole year. Most of the people wait for Eid for the whole year and at the day of Eid they relish these times and make vibes for complete or for life. Same as one more fascinating thing is on this day elders give money to younger and this money is called Eidi. The children collect Eidi from all elders of the whole family and at the end of day they compare this money to each other how much they collect and who collects more. And Start making plans where they use this Eid. They go to different parks and restaurants, where they use money.

One more interesting thing is on this special day people wear new clothes although if someone does not have capacity to buy new clothes then you wear an old one but after washing. As you know new clothes show everyone is happy and maybe because of this you feel better. In ordinary days, most of the people have very tensions and depression because of their chore. So on this day everything is removed. That’s why this blessed event. Especially this reward from Allah. Muslims do worship for the whole month of Ramadan and at the completion of this month may Allah bestow with this energetic event. On Eid at homes, Muslims women make delicious food for our families and most of the families go on the first day to others homes and on the second day they come on other days. Both day children, men and women, enjoy and thank God for this blessing.

But sometimes oppressive people are available in our society. They don’t give zakat to the poor and the poor folks can’t enjoy this day. But the opulent people waste our money in many junky ways and they waste the chance of forgiveness. When someone gives money other than may Allah forgive their sins and give pious. Same as this year many countries like India, Syria and Libya where disparate people attack poor people especially Muslims and ruin their festival. After this they felt we are very virtuous people, our deeds are very good, same as we are very good people of society but they are tyrants. They apply all cruel rules on poor people and spoil their event.

Hence at the end of the whole conversation, I humbly request you! Please please give Zakat to destitute people and make this day special. Otherwise the same as the whole year they wouldn’t enjoy our life and wait for someone else.

Thank you so much for your time and reading this Blog.

Happy Eid Mubarak! Stay Thrive and stay at home.
