The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, has congratulated Muslims across Nigeria on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir, urging them to renew their faith in Allah (SWT) and their commitment to the nation.

n

In a Sallah message issued through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, the Speaker encouraged Muslims to extend acts of charity to one another, particularly to the poor, the needy, and the less privileged, noting that such compassion reflects a core tenet of Islam.

n

He said the celebration is significant as it symbolizes total submission to the will of Allah, as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (AS), adding that the period calls for deep reflection on faith, sacrifice, and obedience to God.

n

Speaker Abbas noted that there are important lessons to draw from the life of Prophet Ibrahim, including unwavering faith in Allah and respect for constituted authority.

n

He urged Nigerians to remain selfless and committed to serving both God and humanity through sacrifice of time, resources, and goodwill.

n

As the country approaches the general elections next year, Abbas also called for special prayers for peaceful polls. He further appealed to Nigerians to pray for national unity, prosperity, political stability, and progress at all levels of government.
