I extend my warmest congratulations to you on the occasion of the blessed Eid al-Adha, which carries a powerful message to revive the spirit of sacrifice with wealth and possessions and their equivalents. Just as these days hold beautiful examples of our leaders, Prophet Ibrahim and his son Prophet Ismail (peace be upon both of them) and his wife Hajar, who presented the most beautiful examples of sacrifice. Also, we must not forget the sacrifices of our loved ones in Gaza for Al-Aqsa Mosque.

I ask Allah to accept our good deeds and yours and to grant victory to our nation in unity, progress, triumph, and support for the oppressed in wounded Palestine and all other parts of this world.

May every year bring you joy, goodness, and blessings.

Professor Dr. Ali Muhiyddin Qaradaghi, President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars
