Eid-el-Kabir -: Hon. Bukola Kolawole congratulates Aragbiji, Oyetola, Boripe & Boluwaduro State Constituency on Ileya festival.

The Eid el-Kabir is held to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah (SWT) and his readiness to sacrifice his son, Ismail. At the very point of sacrifice, Allah (SWT) replaced Ismail with a ram, which was slaughtered in place of his son. This command from Allah (SWT) was a test of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness and commitment to obey his Lord’s command, without question. Therefore, Eid el- Kabir means the festival of sacrifice.

Thus, on this special occasion, I pray that the sacrifices of the Muslims be handsomely rewarded by Allah (SWT). May the spirits lot of sacrifice, cordial neighbourliness and selflessness be our guide as we celebrate this Sallah.

May Allah accept our good deeds and alleviate our sufferings and forgive our transgressions.

Hon. Bukola Kolawole
