Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh!
May the peace and mercy of The Almighty be upon us all.
On behalf of the men and women of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity, I extend our heartfelt greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters as you celebrate Eid al-Adha or the ‘Feast of Sacrifice.’
On this occasion, we commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to give up the life of his son to show his obedience to Allah. This story reminds us of the values that lie at the core of our beliefs — faith, selflessness and devotion.
Eid’l Adha is a time for us to come together as a people and express our gratitude for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon us. We must show our unity, kindness, and compassion, as we reach out and help those who are most in need.
May this day remind us of the importance of sacrifice, as we help uplift the lives of our family, friends, and community. The teachings of Islam, as embodied in the Quran, urge us to think less of ourselves and put the needs of others before our own.
On this joyous occasion, may Allah bless you and your family with peace, prosperity, and good health. May our actions and intentions be accepted, and may our devotion bring us closer to our Creator.
May this celebration bring us closer to the values of love, unity, and compassion that Eid’l Adha symbolizes.
Once again, our warmest greetings to the Muslim Ummah on this blessed occasion. Eid Mubarak! ###
