Srinagar, 26 May: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Vice President and Honourable Chief Minister Omar Abdullah extended warm greetings to people on the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
In his message, Dr. Farooq said, “As the Muslim Ummah comes together to observe Eid-ul-Azha, I extend my warm greetings to everyone on this blessed occasion. The day commemorates the unwavering faith and supreme sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim (PBUH) who was prepared to sacrifice his son, Hazrat Ismail (AS), in obedience to the Almighty’s command. However, the Almighty spared Hazrat Ismail (AS) and placed a ram in his stead, making this day a symbol of the greatest sacrifice and devotion in human history.”
“Eid-ul-Azha also reminds us of our responsibility towards the poor and the underprivileged. We must strive to bring joy to the needy and alleviate the hardships faced by the less fortunate. The essence of the festival lies in compassion, generosity, empathy and care for fellow human beings. May this sacred occasion bring relief, peace and prosperity to the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, and help overcome the challenges and difficulties confronting the region,” he added.
Extending Eid greetings, CM Omar Abdullah said, “At the outset, I wish everyone Eid Mubarak. Eid-ul-Azha conveys the universal message of equality, God-consciousness, generosity, charity and peaceful coexistence among all communities. The divinely inspired sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim (PBUH) and the obedience of Hazrat Ismail (AS) have immortalized the significance of this day for all times to come.”
“I hope and pray that this auspicious occasion further strengthens the bonds of brotherhood and harmony among the people of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. May the festival usher in lasting peace, stability and prosperity across the region,” he said.
The Party’s rank and file has also extended warm greetings to people on the auspicious occasion.
