At this season of Eid-Kabir celebrations, the management and staff of Digger Newspaper Limited, publisher of Thediggernews.com, felicitate our esteemed Muslim brothers and sisters, especially our avid readers.
This occasion reminds us of the importance of one of Islam’s tenets, devotion to God in all circumstances. Islam believes that no challenge or fear that God (Allah) cannot turn into joy, as happened to Prophet Ibrahim (SAW).
This festive period equally challenges us to love, remain obedient and embrace integrity while trusting in the presence of God in our endeavours. Islam preaches peace, love for fellow man, and loyalty to the state.
It preaches good stewardship by rulers in all categories of public responsibilities and calls to brotherhood.
In Nigeria, this occasion calls for sober reflection on the part of the nation’s citizenry that is almost brought to its knees by wanton destruction, a defaced economy, corruption, and other vices that dent its pride.
But a celebration like this brings us hope of redemption and a message that Nigeria can still be redeemed when our challenges are subdued with love, obedience to authorities, and the willingness to put hands to the pump.
The Digger News heartily rejoices with Nigerians as this year’s celebration coincides beautifully with the dawn of a new democratic administration, an act of God in His Omnipotence to do great things in our country.
Therefore, we wish to congratulate the devout Muslim, President, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, on this special occasion and remind him of the weight of responsibilities piling ahead for him as a ruler.
All Nigerians are part of this celebration today as we live together under common corporate courtesies of existence. This is why we have to accept the demands of the tenets of this doctrine and do everything within our human limitations as individuals to exhibit evident manners that can evaluate us as good citizens ready to partake in fulfilling obligations of the spirit of Eid-el-Kabir.
Again, we congratulate all Nigerians, especially our Muslim faithful. Happy Eid-el-Kabir.
