When we fill the mosques on Fridays and in Ramadan, raise our blood pressure on dropping of bombs in Middle East; we miss a lot of common but simple practices.

If we were properly enlightened through education and true wisdom we would have done many things better and would have lived in harmony and peace in our society.

Smiling at a fellow Muslim is a charity (sadakah), removing a nail from street another big Hasanah, all these do not cost money or effort. It is the enlightenment that makes the focus and gets reflected in our actions.

During the Ramadan or Eid or in any festivities due to increased demand discount is offered in many places in the world to encourage more sales, so

prices go down. In Bangladesh it is opposite. With the congestion in the mosque, cheating, profiteering and taking bribe go on at a higher rate than before to make up the lavish breakfast table (iftar) or buying luxury clothing to show off at Eid. Eighty thousand taka Lehenga, 120 thousand-taka sari all in a race to grab. The same people fast, offer charity, perform Umrah etc.

Ramadan is restraint, not only from food but to have control over all instincts. To act correctly we need enlightening education and true knowledge of religion. Today's Internet and Computer age has made it easier.

As Muslims, during this holy month of Ramadan we share our knowledge and urge each other to act justly towards our family, our society and to all creations of the Supreme Lord.
