The Chairman, Federal Capital Territory Football
Association, (FCT FA), Alhaji Adam Mouktar Mohammed, the Abegyi Bwaya of Bwari
Chiefdom is felicitating with Muslims in Nigeria and across the world on this
year’s celebrations of Eid-ul-Adha.
He congratulates brothers and sisters in Islam on the
occasion, describing it as a time to reflect on the goodness of Almighty
Allah.
“I want to congratulate our Muslim brothers and
sisters on this beautiful celebration.”
“We should once again be reminded that, the
celebration of Eid-ul-Adha is to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to
Allah SWT and his readiness to sacrifice his son, Ismail. At the very point of
sacrifice, Allah SWT replaced Ismail with a ram, which was to be slaughtered in
place of his son.
“This command from Allah SWT was a test of Prophet
Ibrahim’s willingness and commitment to obey his Lord’s command, without
question. Therefore, Eid-ul-Adha means the festival of sacrifice.”
“This period and beyond we should be filled with acts
of worship and good deeds. It is a time for gratitude to Almighty Allah for His
countless mercies upon us as individuals and a nation.”
Mouktar is further charging Muslims and non-muslims to
always pray and work towards the growth and development of Nigeria as we
navigate the challenging time.
