She says, after my death when I will be in the presence of God, the rich will present before God the diamonds and pearls that they would have given away in charity. The public servants will present their service before Him that they would have rendered to their nation and they will say that is what they did. I will be watching with dismay sitting alone that I did not have any wealth to distribute, to give in alms; neither did I have power or knowledge that I would have served my country and nation with, but I would have shed tears in the love of God and they will be lying near His throne. I will present that gift to Him. And, O reader, do you know whose gift will be accepted by Him? He will accept the gift of my tears. ” A Muslim, in the same way … can shed tears falling at the throne of the Almighty. If Muslims can do this then this is their Eid. Otherwise, the Eid is not the real Eid.
