We will be celebrating Eid-ul-Adha, festival of Hajj will be on 21st July, InshaAllah. May Allah accept all goods deeds, performed on this day. Similar to last year, this year too, we are undergoing the Eid-ul-Adha festival season amongst the Covid-19 pandemic situation.
Let’s safeguard ourselves and our communities from this pandemic by honoring the guidance of the Ministry of Health, Waqf Board and ACJU, and celebrate the Eid-ul-Adha festival, with forbearance and moderation, similar to the manner in which the previous Eid was celebrated.
Eid-ul-Adha, this year is expected to be celebrated similar to the manner in which the two previous Eids were celebrated with tolerance and farsightedness, while honoring the stipulated guidelines.
As the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is strongly dominant, it is important that we uphold the responsibility of safeguarding our families, our communities and our nation from the risk of this transmitting disease, while we observe religious observances related to the Eid-ul-Adha festival.

During these auspicious days, it is important to engage in Duas abundantly seeking relief from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, for all those who have been effected in our country and around the world.
We appreciate the patience and cooperation expressed by our community, and let us continue to be vigilant to safeguard our nation. The difficult phase that the community had to undergo over past couple of years is well empathized and we pray that the situation will further improve so that the regular religious and social activities can resume safely.
