Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is a significant Islamic holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.

The leaders’ messages resonate with the spirit of the festival, encouraging people to come together in celebration and spread joy and harmony across communities.
