Still from The Kerala Story
The Muslim community in Kerala celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr with traditional fervour, marking the culmination of the one-month-long religious fasting. Faithful, cutting across age barriers, thronged mosques across the state to offer prayers in the morning. Specially arranged Eidgahs also witnessed a heavy rush of faithful in various parts of the southern state. Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan offered prayers at the famed Beemapally Masjid near here while Lok Sabha candidates Shashi Tharoor and Pannian Raveendran took part in the Eidgah held in Palayam Juma Masjid. After prayers at the mosques, people could be seen hugging each other and exchanging pleasantries. Traditional feasts were prepared in Muslim houses with an array of ethnic delicacies.
During the sermons at the mosques, religious leaders urged devotees to uphold values of compassion, fraternity and social harmony and live a life adhering to the values of Islam. While addressing the faithful at the famed Palayam Juma Masjid here, Imam V P Suhaib Maulavi cautioned against attempts by vested interests to create division in society. He said the screening of the controversial movie `The Kerala Story` and the ongoing discussions revolving around it were part of such attempts.
