Congratulations to the Muslims Ummah on the celebration of the Eid-el-Kabir festival.
I, Hon. Kehinde Gbadeyanka Oshin, extend my heartfelt congratulations to all members of the Muslim Community, as well as Christians and all believers on this occasion of the Eid-ul-Adha.
In this auspicious moment of spiritual significance and communal unity, I urge everyone to embrace the essence of goodwill, compassion, and reflection that Eid-ul-Adha embodies.
As we mark this sacred occasion, let us remember the teachings of sacrifice, empathy, and charity exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) willingness to submit to Allah’s command by sacrificing his only son Prophet Ismail (AS). Let us draw inspiration from his unwavering faith and commitment to righteousness, embodying these virtues in our daily lives and interactions with others.
In the spirit of Eid-ul-Adha, I encourage everyone to make the most of this reflective period by fostering unity, kindness, peaceful coexistence, and understanding within our diverse communities in Nigeria.
Let us seize this opportunity to reach out to those in need, offer support to the less fortunate, and spread joy through acts of generosity and benevolence.
May this Eid-ul-Adha be a time of spiritual renewal, personal growth, and collective harmony. Let us reaffirm our commitment to compassion, peace, and mutual respect, making this moment truly count in building a more inclusive and compassionate society.
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Eid-ul-Adha filled with peace, joy, and blessings.
