After a month of prayer, devotion, and self-control, Muslims celebrate Eid ul Fitr with joy and it is the name of fast-breaking. Also known as a religious occasion celebrated by worldwide Muslims. The children celebrate it by wearing their new clothes, shoes, sunglasses, and some other essentials and they collect Eidi from their elders and relatives. Muslims do shopping for it for weeks to celebrate it with enthusiasm but it is really heart-wrenching to pen down that the destitute are unable to celebrate it because of their financial setbacks. The holy month of Ramadan is the name of blessings and the month of giving charity and alms to the poor but yet we are unable to support and help the needy people. They can't even prepare to wear a pair of new clothes. It is our responsibility to assist them in order that they shall celebrate Eid ul Fitr. As mentioned in a Hadees, once the holy prophet saw a few orphans who were screaming on a blessed day and had no clothes to wear. The holy prophet brought the new clothes of his grandsons from his home and made them feel glad to celebrate this remarkable occasion. Similarly, we can do shopping for thousands but I feel sorry to say that we can't even buy 1 pair of clothes and shoes which may cost only a thousand. No one can deny the fact that thousands of destitute have no new clothes for Eid and they feel that they aren't a part of this occasion. Many orphans and destitute just sit in their homes and spend it without joy as a normal day.

            Thus, it is pleaded to all high authorities and wealthy people to assist the needy orphans and destitute in order that they shall celebrate this blessed occasion and shall bring smiles to their faces. We should make them feel glad to relish this momentous occasion as Islam guides and instructs us to aid them. If we won't then who will?
