SPIRIT OF ISLAM MAY 2O18

34 Spirit of Islam Issue 65 May 2018 of Ramazan is over and the celebrations for Eid are underway. He feels as if he is being entertained as a guest by God Himself. From the depths of his being, his heart cries out: ‘O God, as You have helped me carry out the injunctions of fasting and at the culmination of the month, have bestowed on me the joys of Eid, accept this life of mine as one spent in fasting and bestow on me the delights of Paradise. Include me amongst the list of persons who have been bestowed the life of Paradise by opening Thy gates of mercy!’ The message of Eid fosters the rekindling of our faith and the opening of new vistas and an entirely fresh and innovative approach to the struggles of life which would culminate by the grace of God with the rewards of everlasting Paradise. o A true believer, having undergone the period of fasting in a most sincere manner, gets the feeling of the Hereafter as soon as the month of Ramazan is over and the celebrations for Eid are underway.
