The EID EL Fits: Defence Minister congratulates Muslim Ummah in Nigeriahas facilitated with the Muslims across the globe on this year’s Eid-il- Fitr celebration marking the end of fasting.
Major General Magashi (rtd) stated this in a press statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Friday by the Special Assistant to the Minister on Media and Publicity, Mohammad Abdulkadri for successfully concluding this year’s fasting.
He urged the faithful to celebrate modestly with the fear of Almighty Allah who spared their lives to see the end of Ramadan fast,
an opportunity which He denied others.
The Defence Minister therefore stressed the need for the Muslims to sustain the spiritual lessons and gains of fasting and urged them never to go back to uncharitable acts.
While congratulating the Muslims on the auspicious occasion of Eid-il- Fitr, Magashi prayed for the repose of the souls of those who paid the supreme price defending the nation’s territorial integrity as well as those who saw the beginning of fasting but were unable to see its end.
