May the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha inspire us to recommit to the ideals of unity

Jul 09, 2022 News

Kaieteur News – The APNU+AFC Coalition extends Eid-ul-Adha greetings to all Guyanese, but more especially to our Muslim Brothers and Sisters. Eid-ul-Adha, or the “Feast of Sacrifice,” is deeply rooted in the life of the great Prophet Abraham (upon whom be peace). The observance signifies the willingness of the Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as ordered by Allah. It is one of Islam’s most important holidays.

However, as Abraham was about to kill Ismail, Allah stopped him, sending the Angel Jibreel, or Gabriel, with a ram to sacrifice instead. Since then, it has become a duty on all Muslims to sacrifice animals on the occasion as a reminder of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son to please Allah.

The significance is to sacrifice what comes between us and Allah—whether it be ego, material possessions, passion, or power—and to resolve to fully obey Him. These teachings hold great significance in giving moral and spiritual directions to our personal life.

The APNU+AFC has always been and will always remain respectful of Guyana’s cultural and religious diversity and believes that our diversity serves to the country’s advantage.

May this occasion inspire all Guyanese to recommit to the ideals of unity, selflessness, shared sacrifices, and a shared destiny.
