Hello! Festivals come with great joy. Eid is the biggest festival for Muslims. Today is Eid-ul-Fitr In my country Bangladesh. After 30 day's holy fasting it comes. It comes with the lesson that people of every stage has the right to celebrate Eid together.
Eid day starts with the morning prayer called salah. Before salah every financially capable muslim donates money to the poor so that they can also enjoy the Eid day. It is called 'Fitra'. For this it is called Eid-ul-Fitr. After salah they greet each other for happiness of Eid. Children are gifted by elders for Eid day. It is called 'Salami'. People callect new notes of money from bank to gift younger. It is a traditional gift of sub-continental muslims. The main traditional food is Shemai. It is a sweet dessert that made of flouer, oil or ghee and cooked with milk and suger. It is hardly find a single house where shemai doesn’t cooked. Eid is most enjoyable for the children. They wear new dress and visit each others house by group.
On this festival many families go out for tour or visit in the parks where has various rides to entertain their children. Television channels also telecast many funny and educational entertainment programmes. People cook special items for lunch and dinner. They invite their relatives and neighbours to visit their house. At evening the children will bacome upset because the most awaited day will finish.
Today's Eid is not a festive day for all. Some people died for accident before Eid day. Only for going quickly to their home from their workplace. They couldn't wait for a few hours. They took high risk to ride on the water vessels and fall in a trap between two water vessels and died two of them. It gives us a massage that life is more valuable than time.
