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.
