President Mohammed Shahabuddin warmly celebrated the spirit of Eid-ul-Azha on Friday, conveying his best wishes to the people of Bangladesh and Muslims worldwide. In a heartfelt message, he emphasized the significance of this sacred festival, which embodies the essence of sacrifice and devotion.
“Eid Mubarak! On this momentous occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, I extend my heartfelt greetings and felicitations to the people of Bangladesh and to all Muslim brothers and sisters around the world,” the president proclaimed.
Reflecting on the spiritual core of the festival, Shahabuddin highlighted the profound lesson of sacrifice exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (AS). “Prophet Ibrahim (AS) set an unparalleled example of unwavering devotion and love for Allah by offering to sacrifice his beloved son, Prophet Ismail (AS). This historic event holds immense significance for humanity and remains deeply instructive for us all,” he said.
He underscored that the act of ‘Qurbani’ inspires selflessness, fosters bonds of sharing and compassion, and promotes social harmony among people from all walks of life. “Many underprivileged and impoverished members of our society endure hardship and distress. We must uphold the ideals of equality and fraternity exemplified by Eid-ul-Azha and share its joy with them,” the president emphasized.
Expressing hope for a future rooted in sacrifice and compassion, Shahabuddin urged all to reflect the festival’s teachings in personal, social, and national life. “Alongside animal sacrifice, may we also cleanse our hearts of hatred, envy, and malice — this is my prayer to Allah. May this holy Eid-ul-Azha bring welfare and prosperity to all,” he concluded, wishing peace and blessings for everyone.
