What is Eid?

So what is Eid, really?

It is known to the entire Muslim world that the time of Eid is a time to celebrate of breaking the fast that was witnessed during the holy month of Ramadhan. But what is it really to other people?

To some, it would be the time that they get money as a sort of traditional reward for fasting the whole month long period. Others count is as the time that they get to see their relatives and feel the actual spiritual reward of chatting, laughing, exchanging greetings of festive Eid mood.

There are, however, those who will associate this festive period with the rather devious habits of drinking and smoking away what has been taken away from them for the entire period. Such waste to break on a such a festive occasion.

Eid, is actually a time, to remind ourselves that there others in the universe who are still in need. Eid is a time to remind ourselves not to create a standard above others and not to create classes in a society that is looked upon as the most tolerant of all. Eid is always there to remind us to give more than what we take because in giving we show our kindness and generosity as not only Muslims but as human beings in general.

So what is Eid, exactly?
