It is seen that there is a great difference in the mode of celebrations of festivals in the various religious societies. Muslims generally abide by the directions of Islam and follow the methods taught by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be with him). The poor are helped in many ways before the celebration so that they should not feel alien to the community. We do not see any halla gulla or pandemonium during the festival. A low profile style is adapted. Muslims gather in Eidgah, pray to Allah, listen to khutba or sermon, which prompt them to follow the Islamic teachings and become true Muslims, treat the non-Muslims brethren well, impress them with their politeness and good conduct. As they are members of an ideological community, noble and just, they do not tolerate exploitation anywhere in the world. They should always be ready to sacrifice their lives for a good and noble cause. Their aim is only to please Allah so that He may reward them with blissful seats in the Paradise.
In the backdrop the mode of celebration of Eid, our Hindu brethren may also modernise the mode of celebration of their festivals. Good deeds and teachings should always be followed.
