DAILY COURIER - The All Progressives Congress (APC) felicitates with all Muslim compatriots, on the joyous occasion of Eid el-fitr, urging them to continue the imbibed timeless virtues.
This was contained in a statement by the party's spokesperson Felix Morka yesterday April 9 to rejoice with Muslims on the occasion of Eid el-fitr.
"Eid el-fitr is the breaking of the month-long fasting, marking the official end of Ramadan, which recalls the revealing of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad. The sunrise-to-sunset fast leading to this celebration is usually characterised by repentance, supplications, piety, charity, spiritual upliftment and total devotion to Allah.
"As we celebrate, we urge our Muslim faithful to continue to lead lives that exemplify such timeless virtues as self-denial, more prayers for humility, love, kindness charity and forgiveness. We call for prayers for nation's unity, security and progress.
"And may the celebration strengthen bonds of selfless love, charity and kindness among families, neighbours the less-privileged" the statement reads.
