“It is my great honour and privilege to salute the Muslim faithful on the occasion of Eid-El-Kabir. Your sacrifices at all levels of government has helped to stabilise this nation. I commend you.
“The festival of sacrifice is a celebration of Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) absolute faith in the Almighty Allah, a tradition that the noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) continued with, which is being observed annually by Muslims worldwide as an act of worship.
“We all know what we are in a difficult and daunting time. As we confront our challenges and difficulties, we are invited to emulate sacrifice and faith in our daily lives.
“In these difficult time, let us be buoyed by faith and retain the hope that together we can make things better. Let us embrace the lesson of sacrifice and uphold peace and goodwill towards all.
