I am delighted to extend my congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of the Eid ul Adha.
Eid is an Arabic word which means a recurring event and denotes the festivals of Islam. The word Eid occurs in the Qur'an meaning a joyous occasion.
Hajj-e-Bait-ullah (annual pilgrimage to Makkah), as one of the five pillars of Islam, holds special significance for Muslims. At the end of the Hajj, almost two billion Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) that annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja and approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan, of the lunar Islamic calendar.
Eid al-Adha, Eid -e- Qurban, Festival of Sacrifice or Greater Eid is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran. Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon is celebrated by Muslims throughout the world as Sunnah-e- Ibrahimi in remembrance to commemorate the willingness of Hazrat Ibrahim A.S to sacrifice his son Hazrat Ismael A.S as an act of obedience to Allah Subhan Taa-llah..
Eid is also a day of thanksgiving. I join all New Zealand Muslims and Muslims around the globe in celebrating Eid and expressing thanks to Allah by means of distributing alms, gifts among the poor, the needy, children and loved ones and offering special prayers for peace and harmony around the world.
New Zealand prides itself on good relations between communities and places great value on human rights and dignity. The Muslim community in New Zealand is made up of people from a vast array of ethnicities and contributes much to our society.
The Labour party is committed to promoting an environment in which the many peoples who make up New Zealand can live together in harmony. We place great value on our relationship with the Muslim community.
Once again, on behalf of the Labour party, and myself I wish happy Eid Mubarak and best wishes to you, your friends and families on this festive occasion.
