Eid - a Saddening Truth

Ramadan is almost over and I didn't lose much weight. But thats not what this post is about.

This post is about our attitude towards Eid. Its saddening to see how hating everything is mainstream these days. But hating Eid? Lets take some examples from the tweets and get this done.

You have to be kidding me. Because Eid is probably the only islamic festival, muslims have. And talking about it like its a burden is NOT acceptable. Whats wrong with catching up with relatives once a year? Whats wrong in dressing up because its your damn religious festival? Even if its a fashion show, is it wrong to dress up and celebrate just one day because our Prophet also wore new clothes on Eid and met friends and relatives and common muslims. 

I'm sure these people have nothing against dressing up as a dog or a frog for halloween. They have nothing against dressing up/or not but attending after parties but yes they can't meet their relatives and they can always bitch about everything on the social media because thats how hatred is cool. 

Next issue for eid being:

How hard is it to understand that:

•  Eid is celebrated with new moon birth.
•  Moon can take birth in any part of the globe and doesn't have to be synchronized with time zone. For example, Technically, sunsets in Pakistan first and moon should be sighted after Maghrib prayers in Pakistan at first but if new moon is born after 5 hours and they sight it in Arabia and announce Eid, Pakistan will NOT have eid until next day. DO YOU GUYS HAVE COMMON SENSE OR NOT?
• What difference does celebrating eid on the same day makes anyway? Its not like people from Pakistan and people from Arabia and/or people from Canada can't wish eid even if they have their eid with a delay of a day or few hours.

And then there are people like him:

Everything's a joke. Because YOLO. Well the bad news is, you dont YOLO, because there is life after death. 

Thats about it. But you all, disappoint me.
