“On behalf of my family , I wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters in Ogun State and in Nigeria a happy and peaceful Eid-el-Kabir celebration.Eid’l Adha is a symbolic event in the history of mankind, given the bountiful rewards that followed the patience and perseverance of Prophet Ibrahim, who held on tenaciously to his faith in God despite being afflicted.
Eid’l Adha honors Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. We wish the whole Muslim community a blessed and prosperous celebration of this religious event.
“This symbolic Islamic festival is a reminder to us that there will always be great rewards when we have abiding faith and patience in trying periods; persistence in prayers and tenacity in our beliefs. It also reminds us of the sacrifice we are expected to make not only for the purpose of spiritual fulfillment but also for the progress of mankind and development of our society,” he said.
PAS , Eid-el-Kabir offers us another opportunity to rededicate ourselves to our beneficent Creator, and reinforce the virtues of patience, tolerance and love.
