Joy and celebrations sweep across the country as Muslims  mark Eid-ul-Azha, one of the most auspicious festivals in the Islamic calendar, with social visits, outings, dining and other leisure pursuits.

 

The festivities began on Wednesday morning after special prayers.

 

After the prayers, well-off Muslims sacrificed animals commemorating Hazrat Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah as illustrated by his readiness to give up his beloved son Hazrat Ismail.

 

The country’s largest Eid congregation was held at Sholakia Eidgah in Kishoreganj district. Lakhs of Muslims offered prayers there seeking divine blessings, peace and progress for the country.

President Abdul Hamid offered the Eid prayers at the National Eidgah.

 

Meanwhile, some 60 lakh people left Dhaka city for their respective village homes to celebrate the Eid with their near and dear ones, leaving the city in a holiday mood.

 

Special diet will be served in hospitals, jails, government child families, Chotomoni Nibash, centres for persons with disabilities, shelter homes, orphanages, Vagrant Welfare and Destitute Welfare centres.

  1. WHY HASINA BUSY ERECTING HUMAN STATUES?
    IGNORANT HASINA’S PATRONAGE, AS THE HEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT IN ENCOURAGING THE ERECTION OF MONUSHO MURTI (HUMAN STATUE/SCULPTURE) BY THE PRETEXT OF “FOSTERING THE CIVILIZATION OF ARTISTIC CULTURE, LIKE ALL OTHER ADVANCED, CIVILIZED STATES” IS AN ACT OF KUFR, IDOLATRY THAT MUST BE CONDEMNED & STOPPED. She started the idolatry with erecting her father’s MURTI, for the first time a Bangladeshi Muslim has done in history. To support her act she also started erecting various human statues of men/women all over the country. Islam came to destroy idolatry not to erect the he idols and revive idolatry to “REMOVE COMMUNALISM”!!!
    Now agnostic Lalon’s statue has been erected in Kustia and since she came into power she has been erecting human statues all over the country saying to her Muslim critics, “ NOT ONLY WE BUT MANY MUSLIM COUNTRIES DO SO. ARE THEY NOT MUSLIM”? Who is going to argue with this NADAN/JAHIL (ignorant, unwise person), deprived of even the most basic elementary Islamic education. – Syed Muztaba Ali, Sylhet. (1)

    RAZAKARS TAKING OVER THE COUNTRY, HASINA IS WORRIED, WHAT IS HAPPENING?
    “We have noticed these days most media are forgetting the spirit of MUKTIJUDDO. Instead of saying, SWAGOTOM SHUMOHAN EID UTSHOB” as they used to say now they are following the RAZAKARS saying KHUSH AAMDED EID MUBARAk/ EID MUBARAK MUBARAK HO”. Some of the women newsreaders these days not decorating their forehead with the TIPPONI OF SHIDUR (Vermilion). Even our President said, in his Eid Message; WE PRAY TO ALLAH FOR THE UNITY OF MUSLIM UMMA worldwide”. “But he supported me when I, on the advice of my special adviser on constitutional matter translated on Bengali the Arabic word ALLAH in BISMILLAH as “STRISTIKORTA because the word ALLAH was an anathema for my advisers to remain in our secular constitution! I Am afraid, if we do not abandon “COMMUNALISM” and the spirit of MUKTIJUDDO our enemies would turn our secular country into another Afghanistan, that’s all I can say to you. Joy Bongo, Jou Muktijuddo”. (2)
