Eid al-Adha: Lagos PDP Extends Felicitations to Muslims, Encourages Unity and Tolerance
By Tunde Eso
The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) extends warm greetings and congratulations to all Muslim faithful in the state as they celebrate the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Adha (Ileya Festival) in the year 2023.
As we express gratitude to the Almighty Allah for His continued protection, we urge everyone to embrace unity and tolerance during this crucial period in our nation's history.
The Islamic faith places great emphasis on peaceful coexistence among people in any community.
We also encourage all Muslims in Lagos State to make sacrifices for the growth and development of our communities and our state.
Let us not forget the significance of Eid al-Adha, which revolves around the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim, a central teaching of Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The celebration of Eid al-Adha serves as a reminder for us to emulate the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim.
Prophet Ibrahim, when instructed by Almighty Allah to sacrifice his son Ismail, humbly obeyed without questioning God's command.
As his followers, we must strive to follow in his footsteps.
We also implore the residents of Lagos State to view this period as one of sacrifice, a belief shared by the PDP, which we believe will yield positive outcomes.
We urge everyone to embrace peace during this time, as it is at the core of the Islamic faith.
The annual Eid al-Adha Festival is also a time for sharing, where we are encouraged to show love to our neighbors and extend assistance to the less privileged.
It is our collective desire to soon witness a Lagos of our dreams, where everyone can enjoy abundance and the wealth of the state is well distributed.
Our prayers are for the Almighty Allah to continue to provide for all of us as we celebrate another Eid Festival and grant us the opportunity to celebrate many more in good health.
May the blessings of the Almighty Allah be upon you and your family abundantly as you engage in your Holy sacrifice! Eid Mubarak!
May Allah accept your sacrifice and reward you generously!
