Eid-el-Adha 2021 Goodwill Message By Pharm Abdulkareem Moh’d Jamiu
The Chief of Staff To Kogi State Governor.
On the occasion of this Eid-El-Kabir, i would like to felicitate with my muslim brothers and sisters and also urge them to spread love and share bounties of Allah with neighbours.
I take this opportunity to remind Muslims that the Idul-Adha is observed for a period of three days (10th, 11th and 12th of the Month of Dhul-Hijjah, Aside consumption of special delicacies, appearing in the best of attires and generally being in a festive mood, Muslims are reminded that Idul-Adha is a period of glorifying Allah and praising Him. It is also a period of spreading love, goodwill and sharing the bounties of Allah with the needy, neighbours and friends.
The aim of the festival is to inculcate in Muslims the culture of piety and self-righteousness, as well as encourage the spirit of self-sacrifice, submission to God and withstanding the trials of Allah. I enjoined Musilims to remember the words of Allah and always be on their best behaviours.
As we celebrate this year’s Eid-ul Kabir, there is no better time for us to put into use the injunctions of God on obedience to Him and submission to parental wish, which was practically demonstrated by Prophet Ismail (Peace be upon him) as such, i urge all Muslims to desist from negative vices and engage positively in the development of our dear state and country.
The spiritual importance of this day should not be lost on us. According to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), it is a period when deeds of righteousness are most beloved to Allah and most richly rewarded by Him. So, i urge Muslims to take advantage of the period and engage in acts of worship to the best of their ability.
