Eid Mubarak...


Eid is celebrated thrice a year by Muslims all across the world with full dedication and enthusiasm. One of them marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan and is observed on Shawwal. The full name for this Eid is 'Eid-Ul-Fitr'. Eid-Ul-Fitr is celebrated in around the months of October-November as per the Gregorian Calendar. The other Eid is to show the happiness of Muslims after they complete their Hajj (pilgrimage) successfully.

This is 'Eid-Ul-Adha' and is celebrated usually in the month of January. The major ritual of the festival includes sacrifice of a lamb and distribution of it's meat to all devotees. The third Eid is celebrated as the Birthday of Prophet Muhammad and is known as 'Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi' falls on the 12th day of Rabi-Ul-Awwal. 

On this special and holy day of Eid I wanna dedicate a poem to all my Muslim brothers and sisters...


                                                         Eid is fun and great
                                                       It's time to celebrate
                                              Eid Mubarak to everyone come on
                                                       Let's have lots of fun!
                                           Everyone's going to the mosque to pray
                                             People are grateful, it's a special day.
                                         "Mmmm"... the taste of the delicious food
                                                  Really puts you in a good mood.
                                           Everybody's wearing their posh clothes
                                                And the guys are cruising in their
                                                      Flashy cars on the roads.
                                           Children opening their gifts with smiles
                                              On their faces and having fun going
                                                      Out to different places.
                                           All of a sudden the day comes to an end
                                                        Well what can I say...
                                                  Thank you for a lovely day!!!
