Eid-El-Kabir, commemorates the profound faith and unwavering obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to Allah’s command, which serves as a powerful reminder of the virtues of sacrifice, commitment, and faith. It is a time when the spirit of giving and the act of sharing with those less fortunate are beautifully exemplified, reinforcing the bonds of community and compassion.
“On this blessed occasion, I pray that Allah’s blessings be upon you and your family. May He accept your sacrifices, grant your prayers, and shower you with His mercy and grace. May this Eid bring you peace, prosperity, and happiness, filling your heart with contentment and joy.
“As you gather with family and friends to celebrate this significant festival, may your home be filled with laughter, love, and the warmth of togetherness. Eid-El-Kabir is a time to reflect on our blessings and to express gratitude for the abundance we enjoy. It is also an opportunity to reach out to others, extending a helping hand and sharing the blessings bestowed upon us.
Once again, congratulations on the forthcoming Eid-El-Kabir. May your celebrations be joyous and your sacrifices accepted. Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed and joyous Eid filled with Allah’s choicest blessings.
The Aare Musulumi who is also the Chairman, Aryfad Travels and Tours Limited Ibadan, appealed to government to improve on the economy of the country in order to ease the masses of hardship they are going through, adding that the soaring prices of good and items may deprive the people of celebrating the festival as they would have done.
