Muslims across the State will celebrate Id-ul-Fitr on Wednesday.

Leaders of different Muslim groups and organisations in their Id messages called upon believers to spread the message of love, amity, and concern for the poor and the underprivileged in society while celebrating the special day.

In a message issued here on the eve of Id-ul-Fitr, Sunni leader and general secretary of Markazu Ssaquafathi Ssunniyya Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musaliyar urged believers to exemplify the moral values of Islam and work for the common good of society.

Urging believers to pledge against sins and evils in human mind, Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen (KNM) leaders in their Id message said the celebration became meaningful only when every believer succeeded in putting into practice the lofty ideals and high morals Islam preached. “The experience of a month-long fasting should inspire believers to be more kind and compassionate to the unprivileged and poor people in society,” said KNM State unit president E.K. Ahammed Kutty.

Kerala chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind T. Arifali in his message said Id-ul-Fitr was a delightful culmination for a spell of month-long fasting, prayers, and self-discipline. Mr. Arifali said believers should be able to share the delights of Id among all sections of society cutting across caste and creed.
