Former President John Dramani has extended his warmest wishes to Muslims for a blessed and happy Eid-ul-Adha.
In a brief message, the former President said the celebration should remind Muslims of the value of obedience, sacrifice and Allah’s divine mercy.
He said: ”As we safely celebrate with family and loved ones, may our prayers be answered and our sacrifices be acceptable to Allah. May we be inspired by the sacrifice to give back to humanity, something that is bigger than ourselves.”
Eid-ul-Adha, the Greater Eid that follows the completion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, at the time of Qurbani (sacrifice).
The celebration of Eid-ul-Adha is to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah SWT and his readiness to sacrifice his son, Ismail.
This command from Allah SWT was a test of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness and commitment to obey his Lord’s command, without question. Therefore, Eid-ul-Adha means the festival of sacrifice.
