Following a month of religious rituals, the Sri Lankan Muslim community celebrated Eid Ul Fitr yesterday (18) in the true spirit in which Islam was introduced to the world, the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama said.

Ash-Sheikh M.M.A. Mubarak, General Secretary, ACJU in a statement said:

During the month of Ramadan, we realized the hunger of poor due to fasting. We found physical and spiritual benefits from this. People gathered to Masjids for fulfilling the obligatory and Sunnah prayers. We also got in close contact and connection with the Holy Quran, which was revealed during this month. One should realize that it is not only reciting the Holy Quran, but also the learning, implementing and teaching others, fulfills its duties.

With the feelings of Shaitan was chained, we could perform Zakath and Sadaqa, while repeatedly asked AllahuTa'ala for forgiveness. These merits and benefits should be practised in the other months, too.

The ACJU also requested everyone to maintain peace and tranquility in the country during the period of elections.
