A Season of Sacrifice and Sharing: Eid al-Adha Message from MOK Foundation Founder
Alhaji Muyideen Okunlola Kayide, founder of the MOK Foundation and principal partner at Luxiar Construction Company, extends heartfelt greetings to Muslims worldwide on the joyous occasion of Eid al-Adha. His message, delivered via a press release, emphasizes the importance of peace, holiness, and reflection during this sacred celebration.
“Eid al-Adha, also known as Eid Kabir,” Alhaji Kayide begins, “commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) unwavering faith and willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) in obedience to Allah’s command.” He highlights this act as a powerful symbol of devotion, inspiring generations to embrace faith, perseverance, and selflessness.
The message urges Muslims to use this joyous occasion as a time for introspection. “Let us reflect on the profound lessons that Eid al-Adha teaches us,” Alhaji Kayide implores. He encourages everyone to emulate Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) unwavering faith and dedication, using his example as a guide towards a life of righteousness and compassion.
Beyond personal reflection, the message emphasizes the importance of community and charity. “May this special day bring joy, happiness, and unity to all Muslims,” Alhaji Kayide expresses. He highlights the importance of collective prayer and supplication, seeking Allah’s blessings for all. The message doesn’t stop there, however. It extends a call to remember those less fortunate. “Let us also remember the less fortunate and those in need,” Alhaji Kayide urges. He encourages acts of charity and kindness, aiming to bring solace and comfort to those who require it most.
In closing, Alhaji Kayide reiterates his warmest wishes to the Muslim community. He prays for Allah’s acceptance of prayers and deeds, and for continued guidance and protection for all. The message concludes with the traditional Eid greeting, “Eid Mubarak.”
This rewrite condenses the original message while preserving its core message of peace, reflection, and social responsibility during Eid al-Adha. It also maintains a respectful and inclusive tone.
