Eld-el-Kabir: Repete Congratulates Muslims, Urges Patience, Faithfulness
A loyal member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Ibadan North local government area of Oyo State, Engr. Khalil Mustapha Repete, has congratulated the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival.
Repete rejoiced with the Muslim faithful for another opportunity to witness the celebration of an important festival in the Islamic calendar.
The Ibadan-born young and aspiring politician described Eid-el-Kabir as a time to appreciate the Almighty Allah for his mercies and benevolence.
He noted that the lessons of sacrifice and total submission to the will of the Almighty Allah should continue to resonate in the lives of the faithful and guide them in their relationship with the Creator and fellow human beings.
Repete said the defining moment in the story of Eid-el-Kabir was the obedience of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ishmael in deference to the wish of the Almighty Allah, who was testing his faith.
He noted that Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience was rewarded by God, who provided a ram that was offered in place of Ishmael, which was the essence of Eid-el-Kabir.
Repete urged the Muslims to emulate the faithfulness, sacrifice, piety, and patience that were exhibited by Prophet Ibrahim, as well as the humility and submission to the will of Allah by his son, Ishmael. He enjoined them to pray for the peace, progress, prosperity, and development of Oyo State.
