A few observations I made today (Christmas) Today morning when I was heading towards the cemetery to visit my father, I realised that the roads were awfully quiet I could see the end of the road with no cars in sight, it is normally those very roads that are full of traffic at that particular time. Anyway thats when i realised it is Christmas morning and I thought to my self, SubahanAllah had been Eid morning I would have seen cars trampling on one another blasting music and causing havoc for every other road user, I would have seen youngsters, boys and girls in hired cars and lemos going up and down the same road repeatedly to show off their cars. Whereas on Christmas Day, those celebrating are at least doing it properly, I.e. with their families enjoying their time etc. When I got to the graveyard quicker than usual (no traffic) I realised that just like how we Muslims pack out the graveyard after Eid Salah by visiting our loved ones, they too visit their lost ones on this morning, although not in as large a number as on Eid morning. We Muslims could definitely take some lessons in the way they conduct themselves during Christmas, because not a year has gone by that I havent heard an announcement in the Masjid that young Muslim boys and girls have died in car accidents due to their reckless driving, leaving behind their grieving parents, friends and family.
