Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has wished Muslims a colourful and prayerful day as they mark Eid-ul-Adha. In a statement, Ruto said Eid-ul-Adha is a celebration of sacrifice, faith and obedience to the will of Allah.<\/p>\n

“May this blessed day inspire these spiritual virtues in the hearts of all Muslims and also bring joy, peace and blessings,” he said.<\/p>\n

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on his part wished Muslims well as they celebrate their special day. “To all our Muslim brothers and sisters, in Kenya, and around the World, I wish you a joyous Eid-ul-Adha! Eid Mubarak.”<\/p>\n

First Lady Rachael Ruto prayed the day brings joy, peace and prosperity to Muslims. “Eid Mubarak to all our Muslim brothers and sisters! I hope this Eid Al-Adha brings you joy, peace, and prosperity. It is the spirit of sacrifice and generosity that makes this day special,” she said.<\/p>\n

Muslim faithful convened for prayers to mark Eid-ul-Adha. Eid-ul-Adha is one of the most important occasions in the Islamic calendar observed by millions of Muslims around the world.<\/p>\n

The celebration of Eid-ul-Adha marks the end of the Hajj. The day honours the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice one of his sons, either Ishmael (Ismail) or Isaac (Ishaq).<\/p>\n
