In every lifetime, humanity is frequently faced with the decision to make major sacrifices. Whether it’s an individual, a family, a community, or a government, some sacrifices offer no alternatives. Something cherished deeply must be relinquished for the greater good. This is the fundamental essence of the Eid-ul-Adha festival, which Muslims observe to honour Prophet Ibrahim’s readiness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command.

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) relates to this story of obedience to God and joins Muslims in their observance of Eid-ul-Adha, 2024.

In a powerful response to God’s request, Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael were tested with the ultimate trial of faith, submission, and sacrifice. Abraham successfully demonstrated the strength of his belief and his willingness to submit to God.

As we commemorate this significant day on the Muslim calendar, let us take a moment to remember the less fortunate in our society. While our nation progresses and achieves new heights, it’s important to acknowledge that there are individuals among us who require our support and assistance. These individuals are our fellow brothers and sisters, and it’s our responsibility to ensure that we all progress together and that no one is left behind. This enduring message of unity is one of the most important aspects of the Eid-ul-Adha observance. Let’s make this Eid-ul-Adha a time to share love and blessings with our friends and families. Eid-ul-Adha Mubarak to all Guyanese.

GAWU trusts that the inspiration embedded in the festival of Eid-ul-Adha can result in early rewards for all.

A blessed Eid-ul-Adha to all from GAWU.
