Ulama Kiram congratulated on Eid
Imam Hafiz Rahmat Ali Nizami and Qari Muhammad Anas Naqshbandi of Sabzap House Masjid Jafra said that Eid-ul-Fitr has special importance among the festivals through which the Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam tried to remove disparities and create a harmonious society. The system of Zakat and Sadak-e-Fitr has been made keeping in mind social justice and economic poverty. The purpose of giving Sadaka-e-Fitr and Zakat in Ramadan clearly indicates that every person should get the things he needs before the moon rises on Eid so that he can enjoy the happiness of Eid.
Imam of Markji Noori Jama Masjid Chaksha Hussain, Maulana Ghulam Hussain Aziji said that the month of Ramadan had come for our training. So that we can live our lives obedient to Allah in the other months of the year. Recite the Quran-e-Pak and live your life according to its orders. The month of Ramadan is full of mercy and blessings. The month of Ramadan came to purify us from our sins.
Maulana Mohammad Ahmed Nizami, Imam of Gausia Jama Masjid Chhote Qazipur said, maintain mutual brotherhood. Pay Fitra and Zakat soon. Refrain from sins. The way life is lived in Ramadan. Live your whole life like that. Whatever work you do is for the pleasure of Allah. Offer Namaz with the congregation. Provide for yourself and your family with Halal resources. Treat your relatives and neighbors better.
