Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, President Asif Ali Zardari and Field Marshal Asim Munir have extended Eid ul Adha greetings to the nation and the wider Muslim community, with messages focusing on faith, sacrifice, unity and compassion in the context of rising tensions in the Middle East.
Prime Minister Shehbaz said that the occasion reflects the timeless values of faith, sacrifice, compassion and altruism embodied by Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) and Hazrat Ismail (AS).
He urged citizens to remember the underprivileged, share the joys of Eid with the needy and strengthen unity, brotherhood and service to humanity.
He also expressed solidarity with the oppressed Muslims in Palestine and Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and prayed for peace, harmony and prosperity.
President Zardari said Eid ul Adha is a reminder of obedience to Allah, patience, sincerity and sacrifice, and emphasized that true success lies in piety, service and empathy rather than wealth or power.
Quoting the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), he said: “The people most beloved by Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people,” adding: “He who eats his fill while his neighbor next to him goes hungry is not a complete believer.”
He said the sacrifice is incomplete without including the dispossessed, orphans, widows, workers, the disabled and the underprivileged, and called for national unity, tolerance, dialogue, rule of law and public service.
On the other hand, Field Marshal Asim Munir, along with the air chief and naval chief, extended Eid greetings, according to the army’s media wing.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the armed forces prayed for lasting peace, prosperity and national unity, and reiterated their commitment to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan.
He added that Eid ul Adha symbolizes sacrifice, faith and unity, while paying tribute to the families of the martyrs, saying that their sacrifices have strengthened the foundation of the country.
