The
grandmasters of data, Globacom, has felicitated with the Nigerian Muslim
Community as they join their counterparts all over the world to
celebrate this year's Eid-el-Kabir.
In a goodwill message issued in
Lagos over the weekend, Globacom urged
the Muslim faithful to continuously follow the immaculate examples of
love, dedication and sacrifice which Prophet Ibraheem exemplified and use the celebration to pray for the
prosperity of the Nigerian economy, promote peace, unity and development
of the nation.
“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,” Globacom
said.
The
company also congratulated all Nigerian Muslims who successfully
performed the Hajj this year in fulfillment of a key injunction of Islamic
faith and appealed to 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.”Globacom said.
It 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.
The
annual Eid-el-Kabir festival is celebrated worldwide by Muslims and the
celebrations start 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.
