On the sacred occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed his heartfelt wishes to the citizens of India and people across the globe. Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the Prime Minister extended his greetings, underlining the festival’s message of unity, compassion, and collective well-being.
In his post, PM Modi wrote:
“Best wishes on Eid ul-Adha. May this occasion inspire harmony and strengthen the fabric of peace in our society. Wishing everyone good health and prosperity.”
Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most significant Islamic festivals celebrated by millions around the world. It commemorates the unwavering faith and devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command. The festival symbolizes selflessness, faith, and the spirit of sharing.
The Prime Minister’s message highlighted the essence of Eid-ul-Adha, calling on citizens to reaffirm the values of peace, mutual respect, and communal harmony. He expressed hope that the occasion would serve as a catalyst to further strengthen the social fabric of the nation, bringing together people from diverse communities and cultures.
PM Modi’s warm wishes were widely shared and appreciated, reflecting a spirit of inclusiveness and national unity. The message struck a chord with citizens, especially at a time when the world is striving to overcome challenges and move towards a more harmonious and cooperative future.
As celebrations unfold across the country, Muslims mark the day with special prayers, community gatherings, and the act of Qurbani (ritual animal sacrifice), followed by distributing meat to family, friends, and the underprivileged. This charitable aspect of the festival also reflects the broader humanitarian values that PM Modi alluded to in his message.
Eid-ul-Adha celebrations in India, known for their diversity and vibrance, are a testament to the country’s rich cultural heritage. From the streets of Delhi and Lucknow to the towns of Kerala and Hyderabad, the festive spirit is marked by devotion, hospitality, and community service.
As the nation observes this important festival, the Prime Minister’s message stands as a call to unity, encouraging everyone to embrace the values of sacrifice, compassion, and peace—the core tenets of Eid-ul-Adha.
