Eid Al-Fitr – A.H. 1428 A.D. 2007

Eid Al-Fitr Message of Ash-Shaikh H. Abdul Nazar,
General Secretary of All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama

With unalloyed pleasure I wish to extend my heartiest Eid Al-Fitr wishes to all Muslims celebrating Eidul Fitr today completing one month workshop during Ramadhan that recurs every year in order to purify the Muslim in all aspects and mould him as a fabulous man with piety, refined manners and decorous behaviour.

Yesterday every Muslim bade farewell to the holy month of Ramadhan with earnest hope and great prayer to be blessed to reach again that invaluable month which really trained him to control his senses along with first-rate attributes such as patience, tolerance and charity, inculcated him with mercy, love, etc. and helped reconcile the hearts that were poles apart. This holy month, of course, trained each and every Muslim to prove his slavery in full to Almighty Allah by having engaged himself in worship in states of standing, bowing and prostrating day and night exercising hunger, thirst and wakefulness and leaving aside his likes and dislikes.

The Muslim who endeavoured to get closer to his Creator by purifying his body, soul and wealth in spite of thousands of problems, difficulties and worries, is indeed fortunate.

Let us continue the practices gained in the course of Ramadhan! Let us talk with open-mindedness! Let us respect feelings, rights, lives and properties! Let us hold hands in unity! Let us pray for peace and prosperity to bloom again!

Eid Mubaarak!
