FOUNDER OF KADIFF ISRAEL KASHIM AUDU FELICITATE WITH MUSLIM FAITHFUL AT EID EL - KABIR
Eid al-Kabir also known as Eid al-Adha, Eid ul Adha, Id-ul-Azha, Id-ul-Zuha, Hari Raya Haji or Bakr-id; the 'Feast of Sacrifice is the most important feast of the Muslim calendar. This year the celebration falls on 9th July 2022.
The festival may also be known as Al Eid Al Kabeer, which means the 'Grand Eid'. It has this more important status as in religious terms as this Eid lasts for four days whereas Eid Al Fitr is one day, even though most countries observe about the same number of public holidays for both Eids. This festival is celebrated throughout the Muslim world as a commemoration of Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice everything for God.
During the feast of Eid Al Adha, Muslims re-enact Ibrahim's obedience by sacrificing a cow or ram. The family will eat about a third of the meal a third goes to friends and relatives, and the remaining third is donated to the poor and needy. The giving of charity in the form of money, food or clothes to the homeless or poor is another key tradition of Eid al Adha.
While many may celebrate this year's Eid el-Kabir in the holy land, Mecca and some in their various countries --- wherever you find yourself remember Nigeria and its leaders in prayers even as we prepare for the 2023 general elections. I urge all Muslim faithful to observe the good virtues of the Eid El-Adha celebration, learn to make sacrifices, show love and be kind to one another. Avoid evil and learn to tolerate each other's tribe, religion and region. Let us be ambassadors of peace.
I hope to welcome you all to Kaduna next month for the 5th Kaduna international film festival from 23rd - 27th August 2022 as the creative industry gather again to promote National peace and unity among other mandate.
Wishing you all a happy Eid El-Adha celebration!!!
Audu I. Kashim
Founder/CEO Kaduna international film festival
