He had not told his mother that he was a
railway minister.
Was told that "I work in
railway".
He once came to an
event organised by Railway where his mother also came, asking that my son is
also here, he is also in the railway.
People asked what is
the name ?? When she told the name, everyone was shocked, "She is lying".
But she said, "No
he has come".
People took her in
front of Lal Bahadur Shastriji and asked, "Is this is your son?
So the mother said
"yes he is my son."
People showed the
minister, "Is she your mother?"
Then Shastri ji called
his mother and sat with her and after some time sent her home.
So the reporters asked
"Why didn't you give a speech in front of her".
So he said -
My mother does not
know that I am a minister. If she comes to know, she will start
recommending people and I will not be able to refuse… and she
will also have arrogance.
Everyone was shocked
to hear the answer."
Eid al-Fitr is an Arabic term which means the ‘festival of breaking (the fast).’ The festival marks the culmination of the month of Ramadan, during which Muslims turn inwards through fasting and spiritual devotion; and outwards through acts of kindness and compassion.
Historically, Muslims have celebrated Eid al-Fitr since the time of Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him and his family), emphasising our values of spiritual upliftment and generosity towards those facing difficulty and hardship. It is an occasion of peace, happiness, joy, and festivity.
During Fatimid times, Ismaili Imam-Caliphs used to address believers on the day of Eid in a Khutba (sermon). In an Eid address in the 10th century CE, Mawlana al-Qaim told a gathered assembly of believers that this day of Eid is a festival that Allah honours and exalts. He counsels Muslims on this day to “be faithful in your intentions and submit your requests to God.”
Traditionally, Eid al-Fitr begins at sunset on the night of the first sighting of the crescent moon, marking the beginning of the month of Shawwal. In some countries in the Middle East and Asia, the festival is a public holiday, and is celebrated for one to three days

Laylat al-Qadr, or the Night of Power, commemorates one of the most significant events in the history of Islam. It is the night when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) received the first revelation from Allah.
According to tradition, the Prophet Muhammad used to retreat to Jabal an-Nur, a mountain outside of Mecca, for a month or so every year. There, he would meditate in isolation in the cave of Hira. During one such retreat the Prophet had a profound spiritual experience when the Angel Gabriel inspired him to:
“Recite in the Name of thy Lord Who created, created man of a blood clot. Recite! Thy Lord is most noble, Who taught by the Pen, taught man that which he knew not.” (Surah al Alaq, ayat 1-5)
Laylat al-Qadr commemorates the night during which these first verses of the Holy Qur’an were revealed.
