Brothers and Sisters, Pilgrims of the sacred House of Allah Brothers and Sisters in our Islamic nation everywhere: Alsalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wabarakatu (May peace, mercy and blessing of Allah be upon you all) From the sacred places, here, in Mina I congratulate all Muslims all over the world on the blessed Eid Al-Adh-ha (Greater Bairam), wishing the pilgrims of the sanctified House of Allah an accepted Hajj, awarded efforts, and forgiven sins; and I thank Allah Almighty for the blessings He bestowed on them in achieving their rituals in a spiritual and faith-endowed atmosphere, showing nothing but obedience to the Merciful Allah and shunning all mundane joys. I appeal to Allah Almighty to accept from all their good deeds, to set aright intentions and affairs, to purify the souls and help achieve aspirations. --More
