Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 31 (ANI): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday conveyed his best wishes on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, a festival marking the end of the holy month of Ramzan.
Owaisi hoped that peace and justice would prevail in the country.
“I extend my best wishes to all on the occasion of Eid Al Fitr, and we hope that peace and justice will prevail in our country…” Owaisi told reporters.
Samajwadi Pary Chief Akhilesh Yadav also extended his wishes saying, “Today I extend my warm greetings to all the people of the entire state, country and the world. We all celebrate the festival of Eid with joy by hugging each other and hope that we all respect each other by hugging each other… This is the beauty of our country, where people following different religions live together.”
Eid-ul-Fitr, the festival marking the end of the holy month of Ramzan, is being celebrated with joy and unity across India. The sighting of the moon has led to special prayers (Namaz) being offered at mosques, Eidgahs, and open grounds, with people from different parts of the country coming together to celebrate the occasion.
In Delhi, children and families gathered at the historic Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, to offer Namaz.
In cities like Vadodara, Agra, and Ghaziabad, Muslims participated in Eid prayers and greeted each other with hugs. In Agra, Eid prayers were offered near the Taj Mahal, where many devotees gathered to pray for peace and unity. The prayers were followed by warm greetings among the community.
However, in some areas, protests broke out against the Waqf Board Amendment Bill. In Hyderabad, a protest was held outside the Ujale Shah Eidgah in Saidabad, where a group of people tied black bands around their hands to express their opposition to the Waqf bill. Similarly, in Aishbagh, people gathered to offer prayers, but a few also took part in protests against the bill.
Security measures were heightened in several cities to ensure the smooth and peaceful celebration of Eid.
Eid-ul-Fitr, which means “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is celebrated at the conclusion of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
After a month of abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours, Eid marks a time of festivity, where Muslims express their gratitude for the strength and patience shown during Ramadan.
Eid reinforces the values of charity, kindness, and compassion. In addition to giving Zakat, many people choose to help others by providing meals, clothing, and support to those less fortunate, reflecting the Islamic principles of empathy and care for others. (ANI)
