President Gloria Arroyo's Eid'l Adha-Hariraya Hajj Message
Assalamu Alaikum!
I join the Muslim Ummah and the rest of our Muslim brothers in celebrating this year's Eid'l Adha-Hariraya Hajj, the Feast of Sacrifice, which highlights the religious rituals observed for the annual hajj to Makkah Al-Mukkaramah in Saudi Arabia.
This momentous occasion is laden with both religious and social significance. It reenacts and keeps alive in the hearts and minds of Muslims the sacrifice that Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) Alaihis Salam endured in obedience to our Creator.
The message of sacrifice for the greater good is obedience, especially in light of our urgent task to bring about urgent changes to revitalize the country. I therefore call upol all Filipinos, of all religions to take heed of this message.
I enjoin everyone to unite for the sake of national progress. With dedication and moral courage, we shall realize a new Philippines of unsurpassed prosperity for all.
Congratulations and Eid'l Adha Al Mubarak. Peace be with you and a blessed Eid'l Adha.
