Aydın underscored the importance of believers' fulfillment of the Hajj pilgrimage and the deeper meaning it adds to the celebration of Eid al-Adha. He stated: “These days are a period in which the ummah as a whole realizes the importance of joy, brotherhood, and collective action. In addition to the goodness and blessings of sacrificing animals, these days are the days when believers fulfill their 'Hajj,' making this holiday even more meaningful.”
Addressing the ongoing acts of terror committed by Zionist occupation forces against Al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestinian Muslims, Aydın emphasized the need for unity and solidarity among the ummah's children during this festive season. He expressed his concern, stating: “Unfortunately, even during these holiday days, the occupations in Islamic lands, the massacres committed against Muslims, the ruthless chaos displayed among the ummah's children, and these oppressions are being perpetuated with great cruelty.”
Furthermore, Aydın highlighted the fear instilled in those who seek to divide the ummah, stating: “However, the real fear of these evil forces is the consciousness of the ummah's children yearning to act together, coming together during these holidays, and reminding each other of their brotherhood.”
The Prophet Lovers Foundation encouraged believers to perform the sacrificial worship with repentance and seeking forgiveness, emphasizing their commitment to fulfilling Allah's command. Aydın stated: “These are the days when believers strengthen their brotherhood, set aside disputes and conflicts, turn to Allah with repentance and seeking forgiveness, and happily carry out the command of Allah by sacrificing animals.”
The Foundation extended its warm congratulations to all Muslims on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, wishing for a peaceful and harmonious holiday. Additionally, they prayed for the safe return of those who have embarked on the Hajj pilgrimage, the success and blessings of their journeys, and the acceptance of their acts of worship. They also expressed hope for all believers who aspire to undertake this sacred journey to be granted the opportunity by Allah the Almighty.
As the Eid al-Adha celebrations continue, the Prophet's Lovers Foundation encourages the ummah to embrace unity, compassion, and the spirit of brotherhood, reflecting on the teachings and values of Islam during this auspicious occasion. (ILKHA)
