Diwali is not observed by Muslims

[edit]

Hi! Respectfully wanted to share that Muslims do not celebrate Deepavali as it is not part of Islamic beliefs. Hope you’ll be able to amend it. Thanks! 58.182.151.84 (talk) 14:28, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DEEPAVALI is the correct word for this festival. Diwali is a corroded word over time, by simplifying, shortening of the actual word Deepavali. 101.78.85.6 (talk) 11:10, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
