Tripura celebrates Eid-al-Adha with religious fervour and gaiety
Thousands of Muslims from all across Tripura gathered at the Gedu Mia Masjid in capital Agartala to offer morning prayers on Eid-al-Adha. Eid ul-Adha was celebrated across Tripura today in an atmosphere of communal harmony.
The Eid prayers started around 8:00 am and conducted by Imam of the mosque Maulana Abdul Rehaman. After the namaaz, devout Muslims hugged each other and exchanged greetings of peace and love even with those belonging to other religions and faith.
It is the festival of sacrifice celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son to keep his word to God.
The Eid-al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, was celebrated with religious fervour and gaiety across the State including Jampuijala, Belonia, and Boxanagar, Kailashahar and other areas.
Muslims across the world celebrate this festival with great enthusiasm and respect.
Each Muslim family which is capable of sacrificing any animal prescribed in the Holy Koran does so and distributes the meat to the poor and also gives donations to various institutions, especially those that run orphanages and elderly homes.
