Eid Ul Fiter and Eid Ul Adha as a National Holiday in UK
Rejected

What the petition asks
Islam is the second largest religion in the world with a population of millions of working people. As a respectable worker and community supporter we should allow their religious celebration as a national holiday.
As a practicing Muslim it is obligatory to attend the Eid prayer. The Time of the prayer is after the Dawn before Noon but in the early hours. In this time every work place & schools are opened. Many of the workers and children never attended the prayer, to show a great respect and to establish a peaceful society we should allow the religious freedom and practice by making it a national holiday for everyone.
