All preparations have been completed to celebrate the holy Eid-ul-Azha, the second-biggest religious festival of the Muslims, tomorrow (June 17) in the country with due solemnity and religious fervour, report agencies.
Eid-ul-Azha is celebrated on the 10th of Zil Hajj month of the Hizri calendar as Hazrat Ibrahim (AS), this day some 4,500 years ago, offered to sacrifice his beloved son Hazrat Ismail (AS), who willingly submitted to the will of his father to please Allah. But the Almighty Allah in His benign mercy spared Hazrat Ismail (AS) and instead sent a sheep to be sacrificed.
To commemorate this historic event, Muslims across the country will offer prayers in congregations and sacrifice animals in the name of Almighty Allah.
They will also offer munajat seeking divine blessings for peace, progress and prosperity of the country as well as welfare of the Muslim Ummah.
Adequate security measures have been taken by the law enforcement agencies to ensure law and order across the country, including the capital Dhaka marking the holy Eid-ul-Azha. Law enforcers have also been asked to ensure smooth movement of vehicles on highways, waterways and train routes.
State-run Bangladesh Television and Bangladesh Betar as well as other TV channels and radio stations would broadcast special programmes on the occasion of the Eid- ul-Azha.
On Eid day, improved diets will be served to inmates of government hospitals, prisons, orphanages, safe homes and shelter centres.
Meanwhile, Dhaka south and north city corporations have taken preparations to remove garbage of sacrificial animals within the 24-hour period from the city. The two city corporations have requested city dwellers to extend cooperation to their officials and employees to clean up the city promptly.
