Eid: A festival of delight and harmony

Eid: A festival of delight and harmony

Tauseef Ahmed

 Eid is a festival celebrated all over the world with great enthusiasm. There are two occasions of Eid, Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha. Former followed by the month of Ramadhan, which is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. This holy month is associated with fast.

Every religion has its own ways of rituals. Fast is the most common practice among different religions. It is called Wrath in Sanskrit, Upwas in Hindi, Saum in Arabic and Roza in Urdu. Another important feature of Ramazan is that the Holy Quran was revealed on heaven in this month. That is why this book is commonly read among Muslims during this month and also recited in Qayam-ul-Lail, which is known by the name of Taravih. Besides fasts, recitation of Holy book, remembrance of Allah, Muslims perform charity and for all these sort of prayers they got an occasion of merry making which is called Eid.

On the particular day of Eid, Muslims go to Eidgah, an open ground outside the township or in big cities they perform Namaz of Eid in mosques. But before going to Eidgah they have to distribute Fitra.

This is a sort of charity given to poor people in the shape of grain or money so that they may also enjoy the happiness of Eid. For every member of the family either children or elders, Fitra is given. Its quantity is near about two and half kg wheat or its equal amount. Since Fitra is distributed during this occasion, this festival is called as Eid-ul-Fitr.

People perform Namaz and then greet to each other, visit each other’s houses and have a sweet dish specially prepared for this occasion called Sheer Khurma. Eid is a special occasion to celebrate with family, friends and neighbors. The festival also provides an opportunity to make everybody close to us. After Eid, the programmes of Eid-Milan are organized by Muslims to invite the people of different communities so it becomes a medium of social harmony and peace.

This festival greatly appeals to children because like their elders they have new clothes, shoes and moreover the got money in the form of Eidee from their elders whom they greet the Salam of Eid.

Different Muslim countries have various traditions with a slight difference the most remarkable characteristic of Indian Eid is its warm and affection created among people. After Namaz-e-Eid Muslims embrace their brethren and greet Eid Mubarak and invite them to their homes for having Sheer Khurma.

A Note On Mother.

A Note On Mother.
Muhammad Asadullah

A couple of days ago Sunita, a school going girl, in my neighborhood requested me to write an essay for her. She wanted to participate in an essay competition organized in her school.

I asked her “what the topic was.” “The Mother”, she replied.
Suddenly, I felt as someone had reopened my old wound, the filling of an irreparable loss because the deprivation of mothers love always made me uneasy.

I had tried myself to forget it, and I had thought that I had succeeded in my attempt there were times when I came to the conclusion that nothing can replace the mother, so I told the girl: child why don’t you try it yourself?, I think you can write better than me on this subject because You have experienced mother’s affection. It is not so with me .It is a great deficiency in my life; I had lost my mother in my childhood and deprived of her love.

The girl repeated me to write. Perhaps it was beyond her capacity to write an essay, though she knew well what a mother was. This reminds me a comment made by a critic of literature. He wrote that though he did not give eggs but he prepare an omelet .So without experiencing mothers love one can write an article on the subject.

I realized this fact by another way also I think a person who has not experienced mother’s love and affection can understand what is mother’s love better than those whose mothers are alive because we always have insight of things when we lose them .

Many times existence of an object becomes an obstacle to see it thoroughly .

Ek Sher Aur Ek Tasveer

Jheelon ke aas pas the

khaime sukoot ke 

hanga mae hayat to

aabe rawan mein tha

Safar Hai Shart.......Tasveer bolti hai

           Safar Hai Shart,

                       Musafir Nawaz Bohtere 

           Hazarha Shajare Sayadar

                        Rah Mein Hain

शाहिद कबीर: Shahid kabir

Be Rukhi Se Kuch To Andaza Laga

Dhal Chuka Hai Husn Ab Ghaza laga

Woh Apne Taur Par Deta Raha Saza Mujh Ko 

Hazar Bar Likha Aur Mita Diya Mujh Ko

Shahid Kabir

Waqt Wadon ka saKt dushman hai

Waqt Wadon Ka Sakht Dushman Hai 

Aadmi Be Wafa Naheen Hota 

Poet:

Syed Younus ,Nagpur

Tasveer bolti hai

Hum Hi Ne Khoon Diya

Jab Waqt Pada Gulshan Par 

Ab Bahar Aai Hai To

Kahte Hain Tera Kam Naheen

Tasweer Bolti Hai

Rat Ki Tanhaiyon Ko Soch Kar 

Chai Ki Do Pyaliyan Hansne Lageen

In the name of My Name Is Khan

In the name of “My Name Is Khan”

According to Shakespeare there may not be anything in the name, but recently a storm has been stored in the title of a film My Name Is Khan. Though similar statement has been made by Union Home minister a day before Shah Rhukh Khans comment which gave an impression  that  there was nothing wrong if the team would be  included ,SKR had expressed his sadness over not including Pakistani Team in I.P.L.

Similar impressions were pronounced by a number of celebrities by saying that Shah Rukh Khan has a right to speak on it as it is related to the sports and it has nothing to do with ones patriotism a tiny matter has been turned into an issue just for the sake of political advantages .Those forces did not stand against Union Home Minister Why?
1. Diili Door Thi?
2. There were no chances to be a hero?
3. No film of Home Minister was in the queue for release in Mumbai?
This is a sorrow state of affair that we are living in a world, someone has liberty to play and destroy the freedom of expression of an individual and despite of a number of rules to curb the tyranny of dictators, in a democratic county ,we are tolerating all these happenings against democratic

Guntantra Kya Yahi Hai ? Poem( Wit & Humour )

Gun Tantra Kya Yahi Hai? 

A  Poem     (Wit & Humour )  

M.Asadullah 

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Gun Tantra Kya Yahi Hai Ke Hum Sab Sadak Pe Aayen 
Haq Mangne Ko Apna Jab Tab Sadak Pe Aayen 

Gun Tantra Ki Pranali ,Jine Ki Rah Hai Yeh
Hota Yahi Hai Iska Matlab, Sadak Pe Aayen 

Ek Tantr Gun Chalane ka Hai Yeh, Aur Kyea Hai 
Who Yeh Samajh Ke Le Kar Gun Sab Sadak Pe Aaye

Kya Nyay Keya Sahoolat ,Kya Dan ,Kya Hukoomat  
Sab Kuch Yaheen Mile Ga, Jab Tab ! Sadak Pe Aayen 

Mochi Se Mantari Tak Sab Aagaye Sadak Par 

Kyon Aap Ghar Dhuse Hain ,Sahab! Sadak Pe Aayen.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
