Read the passage
carefully and answer the questions following it :
Eid-ul-Fitre the biggest
religious festival of the muslims, has come again marking the end of the holy
month of Ramadan. The month of self analysis and self restraint, gives the
Muslims opportunities to reshape their life in accordance with the teachings of
Islam.
As an essential element of Islam,
the month long fasting prohibits all wrong, inhuman and harmful acts.
Falsehood, wrongdoing, creating
indiscipline and anarchy in society and all kinds of deception are sins in the
eye of Islam. And the glorious month of Ramadan comes to us as the month of
self-judgement and purification.
Eid is also a communion of souls.
It is the occasion for thanks giving to the Almighty creator. Eid is certainly
an occasion for joy by pious Muslims who followed the commandment of Allah during Holy Ramadan. Eid, in fact
awakens in us the spirit that stimulates us in giving a concrete shape to our
worldly and spiritual life.
The common scene on Eid day is
exchanging greetings after prayers, visiting family members, friends and
neighbours. Thus the Muslims resume their normal life after Ramadan. They
become enriched and better prepared to work according to the dictates of Islam.
On this occasion, we should pledge to establish an exploitation-free society on
the basis of religious values and that is how we should observe Eid-ul-Fitre.
