Happy Eid el-Fitri To Muslims All Over The World

THE Ramadan has ended. Its required compliance to abstain from food and water are some of the easily remembered aspects of the month-long observation, which is one of the five pillars of the Islam faith.

The blessings of the month of spiritual elevation are for those who are faithful to its tenets. For the individual, it is a month of re-awakening, a time to reflect on the understanding of the person’s life and its purpose.

Many during this period aspire to improve their spirituality. The tougher challenge is to retain it. A better relationship with the Almighty would translate to a better appreciation of life, care for others, their positions on issues, and even their belief.

Islam is a peaceful religion and would not support killings, whether before, during or after Ramadan. Attacks in different parts of the North killed more than 200 people during Ramadan. These attacks negate the peace associated with Islam, especially during Ramadan.

Individual appreciation of Ramadan, across religions, decides convictions, which determine how people act in their relation with the Almighty, and their fellow man.

The piety of Ramadan is a reminder of the peaceful relations we should have with each other in obedience to the Almighty Allah, the fountain of peace.

Happy Eid el-Fitri to our readers. May the blessings of Ramadan endure.
