The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, wished Muslims well as they celebrated Eid-ul-Adha. In his message to his colleague Muslim, the Vice President urged them to remember the rationale behind the festival.

He asked them to remain inspired by Prophet Ibrahim’s (Abraham’s) incredible sacrifice and obedience to God.

He told them to be reminded of his act of selflessness and sacrifice by caring for each other and also sacrificing for worthy causes for the betterment of humanity.

Eid-ul-Adha is a prominent Islamic celebration that commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s unshakable devotion to Allah, as demonstrated by his willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail. In a merciful twist, Allah intervened right before the sacrifice, replacing Ismail with a ram.

This heavenly directive put Prophet Ibrahim’s commitment to Allah to the test, as did his unwavering resolve to carry out His plan. be a result, Eid ul-Adha is appropriately referred to be the festival of sacrifice.
