Indecisive Muslim Festival

By: Prem Prasad Sigdel

Muslims celebrate Eid ul fitr after a month long fasting on daytime. They have celebrated Eid till three days after Ramadan with great happiness. Their rituals have set certain rules that they should have taken something after the completion of Ramadan. Moreover, they should have donated certain amount of their income to the poor people.

In Nepal Eid ul fitr has created problem of being indecisive. The regular calendar of them has mentioned Eid on 22^nd Ashad but the festival falls on 23^rd of the month. It created confusion to the schools and children mostly whether to allow holiday or not. The schools should wait for the government notice and the recommendation of the religious leaders.

As it was unscheduled all the schools and children were in confusion what to do or not to do. So the indecisive nature of them has been reflected by their religion also. Muslim is considered as the rigid religion in the world. Their rituals, practices, considerations etc. have been regarded as tough and violent.

The indecisive nature of their religion has given me the incite that Muslims can’t have fix date or nature. They have been living in dilemma so that they are restless and they don’t have structured rules and regulations. Or they have been guided with the secondary rules and regulations. So they have deliberately killed other religious people which have been interpreted as their rituals to eliminate counterpart religious people.

No religion has accepted such rules. Even Muslims have also no such provision of killing to others. So they need immediate correction to their religious scripture. There can’t be such provision that a follower of one religion can kill the other people of being pious. It can’t be the holy belief if you kill any person from other religion. I see immediate correction of this concept that Muslim people have been following.

Rather they need to correct themselves of getting education which would make them more considerable or endurable. In this way we can establish a peaceful society in the world. Mostly Muslims have some sorts of conflict with the Christians as Christians have dominated them too much. The course correction of both of them is necessary to establish the peaceful society.

Finally, we can say that the indecisive nature of Muslims have ultimately made them more weak and fragile. So the Westerns have got the space to play with them. So they need to create social, religious, and cultural harmony in the world.
