Next week, Monday September 12, will see one of the most important festivals on the Islamic calendar across the world.
Muslims around the globe are expected to turn out to celebrate Eid al-Adha, which marks the end of Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca.
Due to that, the Minister for the Interior, Prosper Bani, has declared Monday September 12, 2016 as a statutory public holiday to mark the observance of Eid-ul Adha.
A statement released by him on Thursday, September 8, said: “The general public is hereby informed that Monday, 12 September, 2016, which marks the celebration of the Eid-ul-Adha, is a statutory public holiday and should be observed as such throughout the country.”
The Feast of Sacrifice commemorates what Muslims believe was Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son in accordance with God’s will, though God provides him with a sheep to sacrifice instead.
The holy festival is distinct from Eid al-Adha, the annual date that comes immediately after Ramadan, which was celebrated in July.
Great delivery. Sound arguments. Keep up the great effort.
