With thanks for the Grace and Mercy of Allah, I would like to wish everyone a happy Eid ul–Adha.

It is my prayer to Allah Almighty that we are all blessed bountifully for our commitment, prayers and sacrifices.

I also pray that Allah grants a speedy recovery to the sick and relief to those facing hard times as we mark this festive occasion.

I also wish to congratulate all Muslims who were able to embark on the sacred Hajj pilgrimage, to the Holy Land this year, for a successful completion and it is my prayer that Allah brings them home safely.
