Eid: A Day of Joy After Ramadan’s Fasting and Reflection
Eid-ul-Fitr, also known as Meethi Eid, is celebrated after the conclusion of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting in the Islamic calendar. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn till dusk, engaging in prayer and seeking forgiveness for their sins. The month is a time for reflection, devotion, and penance, and Eid marks the end of this sacred period. On this day, the community comes together to celebrate, share happiness, and extend help to the needy. It is also a time to promote love, peace, and unity within society.

Imam Mohammad Islam of Shimla’s Jama Masjid emphasized that Eid is not just a day of festivity but also a symbol of new beginnings, hope, and renewal. “After a month of fasting and devotion, Eid is a celebration of joy, and it brings new hopes for the future,” he said. Imam Islam highlighted that after the Eid prayers, the community prayed not just for their own welfare but for the progress and peace of the country and the state.
