_"It was 1880 or even before. Owners of the mills and industries make their workers work so hard but did not pay them accordingly. They were treated inhumanly. Workers often went for movements for these. This tempo rose in around 1886. Workers frequently called for strikes, instantly fighting and broke out . On one such day, a strike was called coincidentally on the 1st of May 1886. On the 4th of the same month, a peaceful procession was out in the city of Chicago. When it reached a place called 'Haymarket Square', someone hurled a bomb on the police standing nearby. Police began firing and many people died. This incident made its place in the history as 'May Day'."_ - "In a second Global Convention of the Labourers, held in Paris on 14 July, 1889, it was decided for the first time to celebrate the 1st of May as an international day. Since then, this is being formally observed as a 'Historical Day' throughout the world to realize the rights of the workers. It is worth mentioning that, right after the day is passed, these responsibilities toward the workers and significance of the day are totally forgotten. That's a proven reality today."\* _"Incidents and spirits of May Day is nothing to the dignity and interest of the workers as given in Islam. May Day spirit is virtually the democratic concepts of the un-Islamists which is nothing but 'no-religion' to the Muslims. Therefore, the May Day spirit might be something to the derailed and incomplete un-Islamists but to the Muslims, it is irrelevant and unnecessary. Rather that's un-permitted since it follows the non-Islamic customs. Hadis Shareef says, "One who keeps in touch with certain community, shall be disposed off along with that community."_ - "An official day-off on May Day is just meaningless while we do not have offdays on the days with Islamic values. There is no arrangements for day-off on important days like Akhiri Chahar Shomba, Fatiha-i-Eazdaham, Mirwaaj Shareef, Lailatur Rwagaib and 1st and 6th of Rajab etc. These days are of immense blessings and Barakat for the Muslims. The government should arrange for days-off on such significant Islamic spirited days instead of those meaningless un-Islamic days."\* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
