Glo Preaches Love, Unity, @Eid-el-Kabir

Globacom has enjoined Muslim faithful to always demonstrate the exemplary qualities of unconditional love, unity, dedication and sacrifice which the sacrifice of Prophet Ibraheem symbolised.

Globacom which stated this in a congratulatory message to felicitate with the Muslim Ummah released over the weekend, also appealed to them to use the occasion of the celebration to pray for the prosperity of the Nigerian economy, promote peace, unity and development of the nation in accordance with the injunctions of Prophet Mohammed (SAW), to his followers.

“Globacom felicitates with the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria on the occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration. We urge you all to use this season of charity, peace-making and forgiveness to remember to fend for the poor and the needy in line with Allah’s injunction to be our brother’s keepers,” the statement added.

The company also rejoiced with all Nigerian Muslims who successfully performed the Hajj this year in fulfillment of a key injunction of Islamic faith. Globacom urged them to remain steadfast and be guided by lessons of commitment, dedication and obedience to higher authority as exemplified by the willingness of Prophet Ibraheem to sacrifice his son in deference to the will of Allah, a supreme act of faith which Eid-el-Kabir glorifies.

“We call on Muslims to use the occasion to continue to live up to the tenets of their faith through acts of charity, peaceful co-existence with their neighbours and obedience to the injunctions of the Holy Quoran. The joy of Eid is giving.” the company said.

Globacom promised to continue to provide high quality service throughout the Sallah period and beyond, assuring Muslim brothers and sisters on its network of a hitch-free communications experience.

Eid-el-Kabir, also known as Feast of the Sacrifice, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide.

The annual Eid-el-Kabir festival celebrations commence after the Hajj, when the pilgrims to Mecca in Saudi Arabia descend from Mount Arafat and this comes up on  the 10th, 11th and 12th day of the twelfth and the last Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah of the lunar Islamic calendar.

The date is approximately 70 days (2 Months & 10 days) after the end of the month of Ramadan.
