| WISHING ALL MUSLIM WOMEN "EID MUBARAK" |
THE ESSENCE OF THE MUSLIM WOMAN IN EID CELEBRATIONS
The role of the woman in the home is one that cannot be
performed by any other with the kind of enthusiasm women do. Ramadan, the eighth
month of the Islamic calendar has finally come to an end and Muslims all over
the world come together in grand style to celebrate the successful end of a
period of fasting, prayers and devotion to the will of Allah.
Throughout the month of Ramadan, the role of women in
Islamic homes extend to the preparation of early morning meals, housekeeping,
to the time of breaking the fast where they have to prepare food and other
items for. Working class women especially need to go the extra mile in performing a balancing act between their jobs and housekeeping.
Eid Ul Fitr celebration is a period of complete joy and
appreciation in the heart of every Muslim woman where families and friends come
together to praise Allah for the end of another successful Ramadan. They make
merry, eat, drink (alcohol is prohibited in Islam) and rejoice. Seeing people
happy is the happiness of the Muslim woman at this period.
One vital thing that signifies this celebration is the prayer
performed in the morning of the Eid celebration. Muslims adorn themselves in
their best clothing, gather and perform congregational prayer. This is a moment
which affords the Imam (leader of the congregation) to preach to the
congregation, usually advising them among others to live positive lifestyles
and continue the good works and virtues they upheld during Ramadan.
Majority of women in Muslim households prepare the food on Eid
day. Women wake up very early in the morning to clean the house, cook and
prepare the family for the day ahead. Technically, the joy of the Eid, rests on
the shoulder of the woman. These among others are the significant roles played
by Muslim women in the celebration of Eid.
Therefore on this occasion of Eid Ul Fitr, we commend all Muslim
women for their role in ensuring a wonderful and stress-free Ramadan. May the
Almighty Allah bless you beyond measure.
