Meerut, March 19 -- Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, national president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, has called upon the Muslims to celebrate Eid as a day of joy and devotion, urging them not to turn the occasion into one of mourning or protest. Emphasising the spiritual significance of the festival, Razvi said that the entire month of Ramadan is dedicated to prayer and worship, and Eid marks a day of happiness, celebration, and exchange of greetings. "Eid is not a day of grief. It should not be turned into mourning at anyone's behest," he said. His remarks came in response to a reported message from Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan, who is currently lodged in jail. According to Razvi, party leader Yusuf Malik had met Khan in prison, after which a message was conveyed urging Muslims to wear black clothes, tie black bands, and stage protests after Eid prayers to protest US-Israel war against Iran. Rejecting the call, Razvi appealed to the community not to be influenced by political messaging. He advised Muslims to pray for peace and well-being, including that of Iran, but refrain from demonstrations or symbolic protests on Eid. "Do not wear black clothes or hold protests on such a sacred and joyous day," he said, adding that any such actions could undermine the dignity of the occasion. The cleric also issued an advisory regarding Eid prayers, urging people to avoid offering namaz on roads....
