Eid is the religious festival of the Muslims and is celebrated with great joy and happiness
. People are very excited about this eid and a lot of wishing is done. Previously when people did not have phones at their homes, they would buy cards and send out letters to their loved ones wishing them a very happy eid and letting them know that the same happiness is shared by them as well. According to the Muslim festivals there are basically two Eids that are celebrated by the Muslims and both of these eids are very important to the Muslim community. On these occasions people go over to the houses of others and share the happiness. Eid ul adha is that particular festival on which an animal, for example, cow, goat, sheep or camel is sacrificed in the way of good. This is done to renew the spirit of one of the Prophets. This event is very important to the Muslim society and so the joy of the event is increased. The meat of the animal is given to the poor, the relatives and is also kept by the family for themselves.
On this event everyone dresses up in new clothes, accessories are bought and everyone wants to look extremely good. People are overjoyed and for the next couple of days all that is eaten by the people is meat. Relatives and family friends come over to celebrate this event and also parties are arranged for this. Before this event people go crazy as they shop for stuff and the markets are filled with people. There are all kinds of things available on stores that are likely to be bought by the people in the spirit of eid. But these days people seldom send greeting cards to their friends and family. Most of the time people tend to call or the send eid ul adha SMS to their loved ones. These SMSs wish the other person a very happy eid and also includes kind words or prayers from the sender. These SMSs are at times bound to contain pictures as well, at times of an animal to be sacrificed or of a mosque to clarify which eid is being wished to them.
SMS often jam the networks of the mobile on the eid days as the load of SMSs on their servers is greatly increased and people often do not receive SMSs even though the other person has sent them. This all has recently become popular as this is very convenient to the sender and the receiver. People in general are appreciating this technology that allows them to greet all the people they know and also this is a way of being included in the happiness of other people. There are a lot of eid ul azha SMS s found on the internet of different websites so that nobody is left out in sharing these joyous messages.
