KDP President Masoud Barzani congratulates Muslims on Eid al-Adha
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Kurdistan Democratic Party President Masoud Barzani on Tuesday wished a happy holiday to all Muslims in Kurdistan, Iraq, and the world for Eid al-Adha (Feast of Sacrifice), according to a statement from Barzani Headquarters.
Barzani especially congratulated the families of martyrs, the Peshmergas, and all the people of Kurdistan.
“On this holy occasion, I ask God to bring blessings and safety to all the people of Kurdistan,” President Barzani said.
He hopes this holiday will bring more stability to the region and the world.
“Happy holidays and may everyone stay happy,” President Barzani concluded.
The Feast of Sacrifice marks the end of the annual Islamic pilgrimage, known as the Hajj, to the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The pilgrimage is considered a mandatory duty for all Muslims who are financially and physically able to carry out at least once in their lifetime.
The religious holiday is the second of two Islamic celebrations, the other being Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.
Happy Eid to the Muslims of Kurdistan, Iraq and the rest of the world. Also, to the families and loved ones of the martyrs and the Peshmerga forces. It is my sincere hope that this Eid will bring more stability to the rest of the world.
