The Essence of Eid ul-Fitr


After a month of fasting and reflection, the new moon marks a beautiful beginning. Eid ul-Fitr is more than just a feast; it is a celebration of patience and discipline. We start the day with Salat al-Eid, standing shoulder to shoulder in unity. Before the prayer, we give Zakat al-Fitr to ensure no one goes hungry today. It is a day where hearts are softened and old grudges are washed away. The air is filled with the scent of perfume, sweets, and heartfelt "Eid Mubarak" wishes. Families gather around tables, sharing meals that taste of victory and joy. We visit our elders to seek blessings and hand out Eidi to the children. It is a time to remember that our true strength lies in our faith and community. We celebrate the spiritual growth we achieved during the holy month of Ramadan. Let this joy extend beyond today, carrying the spirit of kindness throughout the year. Today, we thank the Almighty for His endless mercy and the gift of togetherness.

 


ঈদুল ফিতরের মূল চেতনা

এক মাসের সিয়াম সাধনা আর আত্মশুদ্ধির পর শাওয়ালের নতুন চাঁদ বয়ে আনে অনাবিল আনন্দ।ঈদুল ফিতর কেবল ভোজের উৎসব নয়, এটি হলো ধৈর্য এবং ত্যাগের সার্থকতা।ঈদের নামাজের মাধ্যমে আমরা কাঁধে কাঁধ মিলিয়ে ভ্রাতৃত্ব ও ঐক্যের শিক্ষা পাই। নামাজের আগেই আমরা ‘ফিতরা’ আদায় করি, যেন সমাজের কেউ অভুক্ত না থাকে।এটি এমন এক দিন, যখন সব ভেদাভেদ ভুলে মানুষ একে অপরকে ক্ষমা করে দেয়।চারপাশ আতর, সেমাই আর "ঈদ মোবারক" ধ্বনিতে মুখরিত হয়ে ওঠে।পরিবারের সবাই মিলে একসাথে বসে খাবারের আনন্দ ভাগ করে নেওয়া এক পরম তৃপ্তি।বড়দের আশীর্বাদ নেওয়া আর ছোটদের মাঝে ‘সালামি’ বিতরণে বাড়ে প্রাণের স্পন্দন।এই দিনটি আমাদের মনে করিয়ে দেয় যে, আমাদের প্রকৃত শক্তি হলো বিশ্বাস ও সংহতি।রমজানে আমরা যে আধ্যাত্মিক শিক্ষা পেয়েছি, আজ তারই উদযাপনের দিন।ঈদের এই উদারতা আর দয়া যেন আমাদের হৃদয়ে সারা বছর অমলিন থাকে।পরম করুণাময়ের কাছে কৃতজ্ঞতা জানিয়েই পূর্ণতা পায় আমাদের এই মিলনমেলা

Bengal tiger

  Bengal tiger   In Bangladesh, tigers are now relegated to the forests of the Sundarbans and the Chittagong Hill Tracts . The Chittagong forest is contiguous with tiger habitat in India and Myanmar , but the tiger population is of unknown status . As of 2004, population estimates in Bangladesh ranged from 200 to 419 individuals, most of them in the Sundarbans.This region is the only mangrove habitat in this bioregion , where tigers survive, swimming between islands in the delta to hunt prey. Bangladesh's Forest Department is raising mangrove plantations supplying forage for spotted deer . Since 2001, afforestation has continued on a small scale in the Sundarbans. From October 2005 to January 2007, the first camera trap survey was conducted across six sites in the Bangladesh Sundarbans to estimate tiger population density. The average of these six sites provided an estimate of 3.7 tigers per 100 km 2 (39 sq mi). Since the Bangladesh Sundarbans is an area ...

Rickshaw art

Rickshaw art In Bangladesh, rickshaw art dates back to the 1950s and every conceivable part of the rickshaw is painted. In addition to geometric designs, there are depictions of flowers, birds and even popular actresses. The rickshaw can be decorated to show the driver's religious beliefs and sometimes even a commentary on current social issues. [1] In Bangladesh, rickshaw art is looked down upon by the elite population. [2] The three-wheeled pedicab, more commonly known as the rickshaw , has been around since the 1940s. Initially, they were undecorated, but starting in the late 1940s, the faces of movie stars began appearing as decorative motifs on shields at the back of the rickshaws along with a variety of floral paintings. The unique trend of rickshaw art started from Rajshahi and Dhaka in Bangladesh and took its own style in each district. For instance, Chittagong being a more pious city then Dhaka mostly had floral or scenery art whereas Comilla has plain rick...
