Aidiladha Calls For Reflection On Sacrifice And Unity – Aaron

KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- The Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration should serve as a moment of heartfelt reflection on the meaning of sacrifice in the context of humanity and unity, said National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang.

He said the celebration is not just about the ritual of sacrifice, but also a symbol of sacrifice, sincerity and solidarity.

"These values are vital in building a peaceful and harmonious nation," he said in a Facebook post today.

Aaron also extended Hari Raya Aidiladha greetings to all Muslims in the country.

Muslims in Malaysia will celebrate Aidiladha tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad posted on Facebook that Hari Raya Aidiladha was not merely a celebration but a call of humanity, sacrifice and loyalty that spanned the ages.

Aidiladha served as a reminder to remain healthy as our bodies belong to Allah SWT, and Muslims must sacrifice by refraining from harmful habits and live a healthy life in gratitude for His blessing, he added.

“As the world faces various crises of unfairness, human suffering and diminishing values, Aidiladha invites us to return to the basics of honest worship, sharing transparently and fighting for justice in our daily lives,” he wrote.

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek shared that Aidiladha this year would mark a new chapter in life to continue to be strong and virtuous in any struggle or sacrifice.

“May the pilgrims performing their Haj in the Holy Land be blessed with the strength to carry out the rituals,” she said.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said that Hari Raya Aidiladha  reminded people about true loyalty and integrity, how Prophet Ibrahim A S and Prophet Ismail A S noble sacrifices served as virtuous examples to Allah SWT.

“May this spirit of sacrifice deepen piety, self-awareness, and strengthen obedience to Allah SWT, and to all the Haj pilgrims, we entrust our prayers that you be granted health, safety, and bestowed with an accepted Haj,” he added.
