President Mohammed Shahabuddin extended his greetings to the nation on holy Eid-ul-Fitr on Thursday.
In a message, he expressed hope that the teachings of Eid-ul-Fitr would inspire renewed enthusiasm in the journey towards building a new Bangladesh.
“The significance of Eid-ul-Fitr is immense in establishing a peaceful, harmonious and prosperous state,” he said, adding that an auspicious beginning of a discrimination-free, humane and democratic Bangladesh has taken place through immense sacrifice, endurance and selflessness.
“We are moving forward on the journey to build a just, prosperous and self-reliant Bangladesh,” Shahabuddin stated.
Describing Eid-ul-Fitr as the greatest religious festival of the Muslims, the President said the festival arrives with immense joy and happiness after a month-long fasting.
He added that Muslims strive to acquire moral values and attain salvation in the hereafter by refraining from injustice, oppression and sinful acts through month-long fasting.
Shahabuddin stated that the rich and the poor stand in the same row and share the happiness of Eid alike.
