“Eid Al-Adha offers Muslims a chance to honour Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) readiness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command.
“It reminds us of the significance of faith, selflessness, and our shared commitment to community and humanity. We should use this period to reflect on the values of sacrifice and obedience to Almighty Allah.
“We must all come together as a united force against all forms of social vices, deviant behaviours, and crimes affecting our societies.
“It is our collective responsibility to work towards ensuring the safety of our communities, state, and Nigeria because we seek in others what we lack in ourselves.
“May Allah accept our sacrifices as an act of Ibadah. May Allah bless Zamfara State and Nigeria.”
