Ramzan is the month of silence and sincere remembrance of the Lord. For the over 1.5 billion Muslims across the globe, it is a time marked by prayer, penitence and the wilful sacrifice of one’s personal comforts and pleasures in honour of the divine. Swami has spoken about the strength of prayer in a group as one of the important spiritual practices of Islam. Eid-Ul-Fitr is celebrated at the end of Ramzan, the day after the New Moon is sighted.
‘Eid’ means ‘Joy’ and ‘Fitr’ means ‘charity’. Hence Eid-Ul-Fitr means ‘derive happiness through charity’. During this festival, not only does one remember God, but also the poor and needy.
