THE FOUNDER OF KADIFF AUDU KASHIM ISRAEL FELICITATES WITH MUSLIMS AT EID-UL-FITR
Eid Ul-Fitr is one of two major holidays celebrated by Muslims and commemorates the end of the holy month of Ramadan, in which Muslims fast daily from before dawn until sunset. It is commemorated by a large, community-wide prayer service in the morning, followed by meals and conversation with friends and family. A mandatory charity called Zakat al-Fitr is collected before the prayer and distributed to the poor and needy to ensure all can participate in the festivities. Eid al-Fitr is the Arabic name for the holiday, though it goes by many other names in other languages. Eid al-Fitr means the feast, or festival, of breaking the fast.
Eid Ul Fitr, is associated with sympathy, kindness, and empathy for orphans, widows, the needy, the sick, and the disabled. This Eid's idea is to make others happy and so with a fraternal heart may we put a smile on someone's face today with love and peace. It is a time to come together without discrimination (irrespective of tribe, religion, race, region or culture) but embrace unity and harmony. This year EID-UL-FITR will be celebrated on Wednesday the 10th of April 2024.
As Muslims observe this year's Eid celebration I urge us to not only pray for Nigeria but let us be the change we need for Nigeria to be better with actions. Let us follow the teachings of EID-UL-FITR even after the celebration.
I want to use this opportunity to urge film makers and content creators to please make movies or content that will promote good morals, love, unity and stories that will change the society for good.
While we hope filmmakers around the world have submitted their entries, KADIFF looks forward to receiving us all in Kaduna state Nigeria for the 7th Kaduna international film festival from 27th - 31st August 2024.
May this Eid be a time for sharing, caring, and expressing gratitude for all the wonderful things in life. Eid Mubarak!
