Urges Youths to Imbibe the Spirit of sacrifice, peace, unity....
Seek for Muslims to be hopeful and engage in more devotion
The umbrella body of all Muslim Youth Organizations in Lagos State has rejoiced with Muslim Umah, especially the youths in Lagos State and the Nation at large on the Eid-Adha 1444 AH celebration today Wednesday 10th Dhul Hijjah 1444 AH (28th June 2023).
Muslims across the globe are celebrating the joyous festival with family and friends, the festival honors and commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's absolute dedication and total sacrifices to Allah, It recognises Prophet Ibrahim's determination to offer his son Ishmael (Ismail) as a sacrifice on the word of God in addition, the yearly Hajj pilgrimage to the sacred city of Mecca is concluded with this feast.
*Muslims must acknowledge the fact that sacrificial animals are mere symbolic representation of submission to Allah and devotion to His Commands as demonstrated by the father of faith and his son in total adherence to His instructions before Allah (SWT) in return turned their grief to blessing by replacing his son with a ram for the divine sacrifice which has now become a religious ritual till today.
"It is neither their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah, but what does reach Him is the taqwa (the sense of obedience)... _Qur'an 22:37_
The council enjoins all Muslims Umah to imbibe the spirit of sacrifices, preach love and unity, continue to give to the needy and poor, encourage good deeds and forbids unacceptable behaviors, especially among the youths
Therefore, as we celebrate this special festival, we must reflect on and imbibe the essence of sacrifice and humility for the promotion of harmonious relationships in our country. We also need to take this opportunity to reach out to everyone in promoting love, peace and unity.
According to the public relations officer, Brother Adeyemo Abd'Akeem, He said "Eid-el-Kabir is a season that calls for rededication to the cause of mankind, to appreciate the gift of life and to imbibe the virtues of tolerance, understanding and good neighbourliness"
May Allah (SWT) restore all our hopes and accept our sacrifices genuinely for Him. May He accept all our prayers and grant all our requests. May this blessed day be full of happiness, joy, and great fulfilment. May you and your household receive immense blessings and abundant favours therein.
May Almighty Allah Accept our Sacrifices and grant us the ability to Celebrate MORE ON EARTH! Amin
