Assalam Alaikum friends, today I will tell you how I spent the day of Eid in Pakistan.

Friends, Eid prayers were to be offered in Pakistan.And with that let me tell you what Eid is.Eid is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. There are two main Eid celebrations: Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan (the month of fasting), and Eid al-Adha, which commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham). Both Eids are occasions for prayer, feasting, charity, and spending time with family and friends.As you already knew that Muslims all over the world are celebrating Eid. Likewise, all of us and all my friends were busy preparing for Eid.
Friends, Eid is celebrated in Pakistan with great enthusiasm. On the occasion of moon night, all the people work in their shops all night and prepare for Eid prayers in the morning.As I told you that people work in the evening and at night, in the same way I also worked in my shop all night and after working all night I went very early in the morning to prepare for the Eid prayer. And I go to the mosque to offer the Eid prayer.Friends, when I went to the mosque to offer the Eid prayer, I saw that there was so much rush during the Eid prayer that you would think there was no place to step.

I went to the roof of the mosque to offer the Eid prayer. When I went there, I saw that there were some rows left for the worshipers, which they had arranged on the roof if the worshipers below did not come.So friends, I offered my Eid prayer on the roof of the mosque.

It comes only once in a year, so people try to make it mandatory for us to perform Eid prayers.

In the Eid sermon, Imam Sahib shared a very important thing with us, which I want to tell you.

He said that people face a lot of problems in collecting blood, so those who want to donate blood should register their names in the register of the mosque so that when a brother is in need, they can contact him and ask for blood. should be done.
So I was the first of all those people to raise my hand and I said I want to donate my blood. So I told them my name to enter in the register and my blood group. My group is also negative, so the imam of the mosque apprised me about this and said that the spirit of faith is refreshed after seeing your enthusiasm.

Friends, blood donation is a charity of our body and we should never avoid it, if any friend needs it, we should help him immediately, this is my opinion.Do you agree with my opinion?Every human being should help another human being because every human being is the brother of another human being.Then after some time, Imam Sahib started offering the Eid prayer. After offering the Eid prayer, all of us met each other and shared in each other's happiness.
