Sallah: MHR Makinde Salutes Muslims
Sallah greetings to the good people of Ondo East and West Federal Constituency. Allah, The Merciful, has made it possible for us to witness another Eid-el-Kabir. We should be reminded of the spiritual significance of Eid el Kabir, which lies in obidience to Allah. This festival reminds Muslim faithfuls of the importance of complete devotion to their faith and the willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. It encourages selflessness, empathy, and compassion towards family, friends, neighbours, loved ones, and everyone else.
To my Muslim constituents,I must appreciate your steadfastness, commitment and the sacrifices you have consistently made as a form of support for me over the years. So much so that you have accepted me to be a part of you and also gave me a befitting name, Najimudeen. To Muslim Faithfuls across the state and country at large, I urge us to continue to exhibit the qualities that showcase the distinct teachings of Islam as reflected in us.
Peaceful co-existence, harmony and living in great understanding with each other is a pointer that we are not where we are by mistake and also that the responsibility of ensuring peace and development in our community starts with us.
As we celebrate this day, May Allah in His infinite mercy, forgive us of our shortcomings and bestow His profound blessings on you and your family. May we celebrate many of it on earth in sound health and abundant wealth. I wish us safe travels to and from all our respective destinations. May the divine protection of Allah be ours today and forever.
Happy Eid-El-Kabir.
Barka De Sallah.
