Amid the prevailing fear of coronavirus, it has become nearly impossible to not adhere to social distance. Due to this, people will not be able to hug and will not be able to go to the mosque and offer prayers on the auspicious occasion of Eid. According to Paliyam Imam VP Suhaib Maulvi of Palam Juma Masjid in Thiruvananthapuram, in this situation, social media can be used to congratulate Eid.
Maulvi ji says, "This is the Eid of compassion. Because many people are suffering due to the epidemic. Forget the animosity and congratulate everyone on Eid. Due to this epidemic, many people who make their living from daily wages without any income Impressed. I urge all of you to stay home and celebrate Eid safely this year. " He has also urged everyone to not visit family, friends and neighbors. The Imam also welcomed the government rules and requested the followers to participate in the online prayer session. "It is a bit strange for all of us to offer Eid prayers at home, but as we are going through an unusual situation, we have to accept the new changes. Eid Namaz will be streamed live on the Facebook and YouTube pages of Palam Juma Masjid on Thursday at 8 am. ” Eid has brought hope amid the gruesome environment but the prevailing situation doesn't allow us to be fearless. In this case, Eid can be celebrated with joy by preparing dishes from the ingredients available at home. Also, using social media like Facebook, Instagram etc., you can give Eid greetings to each other.
