PREZY’S TOBASKI MESSAGE "Fellow Gambians,
Once again we are privileged to celebrate another Eid ul Adha locally known as Tobaski. On this auspicious occasion, I wish to extend to all, on behalf of my family and indeed my entire government, warmest greetings, sincere best wishes and congratulations.
Eid ul-Adha, or “the Feast of Sacrifice” marks the end to the sacred Hajj ceremony. Well over two million people women and men of all ages, languages, colours and backgrounds have in recent days congregated in the Holy city of Mecca to commemorate the sacrifices made by Prophet Ibrahim (May Allah’s peace and blessing be with him).
Today as we celebrate the feast of Eid ul Adha, let us make a commitment to fight for peace, justice and selfless sacrifice for the well-being of our children, our parents, our neighbours, our fellow human beings in general and Muslims in particular.
Let us seize this opportunity to strengthen the Muslim brotherhood with parents, relatives, neighbours and even enemies to make amends and turn a new page.
Fellow Gambians, let us live like true believers in Islam and avoid being pre-occupied with excessive greed at the expense of millions of human lives. The world today is indeed in need of the example of the Holy Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) for greater justice and strength to resist the vices of hate, racism and exploitation. The senseless wars and civil unrests ravaging countries around the world are all testimony to the faithlessness and greed of mankind."
