Eid-el-Kabir: Imbibe spirit of forgiveness, humility, respect – Bauchi gov
Bauchi State governor, Senator Bala Mohammed has called on Muslim faithful in the state to imbibe the spirits of forgiveness, humility and respect for one another as they join their counterparts worldwide to celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival.
The governor, who stated this in his goodwill message to the people of the state on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival, called on the faithful to also use the festival to strengthen existing interpersonal relationships and create new ones.
According to Governor Mohammed, “There is also the need for us to imbibe the spirit of forgiveness, humility and respect for one another.
“We should pray for the prevailing peace in the state to be sustained and for adequate rainfall for us to have a bumper harvest during this farming season.”
While giving praise to Allah for sparing their lives to witness this year’s festival, the governor urged Muslim faithful to observe the highest spiritual sacrifice ever made in observance of divine injunction.
According to Governor Mohammed, “The occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir should be used to reflect on how we have fared morally and spiritually during the last one year so as to take corrective measures, where necessary, for us to be amongst the believers who will enjoy the mercies of Allah (SWT) in the hereafter.
“Islam as a religion propagates total submission to the will of Allah (SWT) and peaceful co-existence amongst the Muslim Ummah and with adherents of other faiths. The Holy Qur’an has also commanded all Muslims to give something (in charity) out of the treasure which Allah has bestowed on them.
“This should be done without consideration for religious, ethnic or political differences. We should also use the Eid–el Kabir occasion to strengthen the existing interpersonal relationships and create new ones.
“There is also the need for us to imbibe the spirit of forgiveness, humility and respect for one another. We should pray for the prevailing peace in the State to be sustained and for adequate rainfall for us to have a bumper harvest during this farming season.”
The governor urged the people of the state to bear with the current hardship in the country, which he stated was being addressed by both the Federal and the state governments.
He added that, “as a responsive and responsible government, we will continue to render palliative measures with a view to cushioning the effects of the hardship. I will, however, appeal to you to make some sacrifices to ensure that we overcome the hardship.”
