President Peter Mutharika has called upon Malawians to exercise unity, peace, and love for one another as the Muslim community celebrates Eid al-Adha.
Eid al-Adha is a festival that honors devotion and willingness to give for others in the Muslim faith.
A press statement issued on Thursday, signed by Mutharika, calls for a reflection on obedience, sacrifice, and charity as the Muslim community celebrates the day.
“The First Lady and I extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes to all Muslims across Malawi as they celebrate Eid al-Adha,” reads the statement in part.
Eid al-Adha, which falls on the tenth day in the final Islamic Lunar, is one of the most significant holidays in Islam which is observed through prayers, charity, and sharing of food with family and the needy.
