Festival for Remembering Sacrifice

Today, "Eid" was celebrated by followers of the Islam. There are 14 million Muslims in India. They had celebrated by going to the 'Eidgah' and mosques for morning prayers. There is peace and serenity in the silent way they pray;and there is unity and discipline in their way of worship together. After prayers, they wish each others 'Eid' greetings and hug to convey feelings of brotherhood. They remembered their prophet who had offered his son to their God. And God asked for a sacred goat instead.They shared their 'Eid' feast with relatives.They make sure to give money for charity. After their prayers the children seek blessing of their elders who give them money to spend at the markets nearby. At a single festival, we can see their feeling of brotherhood among the Muslim people, their spirit of sharing with the poor, their joy of  feasting with relatives, their love for children, and their deep reverence for their prophet in the prayers. Such a joyous festival is the most admirable among all common festivals.They are a peace loving people who value love for family, who value brotherhood, who have empathy for less privileged and who have great reverence for God.
Muslims in India are an integral part of our national life,many are surgeons, many are judges,many are scientists, lecturers artists musicians and so on. In any field they choose,  Muslim people will excel and will reach the top for they are perfect scholars. And they are very honest in any businesses they engage in.And they are devoted artists.They exhibit perfect skills in several professions.
In India, the Islamic people have cohabited the subcontinent with us for one thousand years(since the invasion of the Ghaznavids). Although one of the followers of prophet had come to India and settled in Kerala, Islam had spread later only.We have a common culture which cannot be distinguished(separated) now; Persian words have been incorporated in our language, Hindi. Most of legal terms are Persian; terms for land holding, land revenue are also Persian in origin. Our most enjoyable 'Ghazals',and popular songs are in Persian too. The monuments made by the Muslim kings have added crowning glory to the Indian architecture.Indian cooking has also incorporated Persian delights; our dress was from their culture too('salwar-kameez'). Hindi's most courteous and beautiful words are 'Urdu"(Persian) in origin. So many  many Urdu words convey deep feelings .There is no aspect of our life  that we do not share with our Islamic heritage.We are truly  enriched by Islamic culture in India.
