ON this sacred observance of Eid-UI-Adha, the Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) extends Eid Mubarak to all Guyanese and especially the Muslim Community. The IAC states that Eid-UI- Adha is a time for believers to learn the value of self-denial by making a sacrifice of the things they love to Almighty God.
A release from the IAC said Abraham’s great act of submission is regarded solely as an example of genuine surrender to the will of his creator.
“Today, more than ever, human beings need to incorporate the lesson of this great sacrifice with humility, thus underlining the importance of the festival in memory of Prophet Abraham’s great act of faith, many centuries ago.”
“In the spirit of sacrifice, the poor and needy in our community should not be forgotten; as such, they should be remembered by our sharing the sacrificial offerings with them.
The message of Eid-UI -Adha is an example of co-existence and cooperation of mutual benefit the world can learn from.
