The Significance of Eid el Kabir

Eid el Kabir honours the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Allah’s command. In the Islamic tradition, just as Ibrahim was about to fulfil the sacrifice, Allah intervened and provided an animal as a substitute.

This event symbolizes faith, devotion, and submission to the will of Allah. Muslims observe this festival by slaughtering an animal, such as a sheep, goat, or cow, and sharing the meat with family, friends, and those in need.

The spiritual significance lies in its emphasis on obedience to Allah. The festival reminds Muslims of the importance of unwavering commitment to their faith and the readiness to sacrifice for the greater good. It promotes selflessness, empathy, and compassion towards others.

By practising these values, Muslims are reminded of their responsibilities to both Allah and their fellow human beings.

This season encourages peaceful coexistence between Muslims and non-Muslims, serving as a reminder of the need for harmony in society.

The act of giving and sharing during this festival fosters unity, love, and understanding among individuals, regardless of their diverse backgrounds and beliefs.

It urges Muslims to strengthen their bond with Allah and extend kindness, generosity, and compassion to all humanity.

As Muslims across Nigeria celebrate this season, we extend warm greetings and joyous wishes for a blessed festival. May this occasion bring you closer to Allah, renew your faith, and fill your lives with happiness, peace, and prosperity.

Eid Mubarak to all Muslims and happy holidays to all Nigerians. Let us embrace the spirit of Eid el Kabir and work together towards a brighter and more united future.
