Happy Eid to you all! Today marks the second day of the blessed Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha is not merely a holiday filled with joy and delight; it is a sacred moment, recurring over thousands of years, to remind us of the greatest lessons of faith and sacrifice.
The story of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), who said to himself, "Indeed, I am going to my Lord; He will guide me" (Surah As-Saffat: 99), as he prepared to carry out God's command to sacrifice his dearest possession, his beloved son, is a message that remains etched in our hearts and souls. His obedience was without hesitation, and his faith was unwavering, until Allah, out of His mercy, replaced the sacrifice with a magnificent ram. Thus, it was both redemption and mercy simultaneously.
O Allah, Protector of the heavens and the earth, we ask You to protect our children and safeguard our country from all harm. Make our beloved Egypt a homeland of peace and glory, steadfast against fierce winds, strong by Your wisdom and mercy. O Allah, grant us a good ending, and grant us a sincere intention to build the earth with goodness and righteous deeds.
O Allah, Most Generous and Merciful, You who hold dominion over the heavens and the earth, we ask You in these blessed days to protect our country from all evil and to lift every worry and grief from our homeland. O Allah, keep Egypt safe and resilient in Your care, illuminating its paths with the light of Your wisdom, and raising its banner of glory high and unshakeable.
O Allah, keep our children and families in Your preservation and safety, guard them from every danger, and fill their hearts with tranquility and faith. O Allah, grant us strength of resolve, expand our provisions, and bless our time and deeds.
O Allah, just as You commanded Prophet Ibrahim to obey You and brought him closer to You through sacrifice, make us also closer to You, and keep us firm on the path of truth and righteous deeds.
O Allah, make all our days Eids – Eids of peace, security, and success. Protect our homeland Egypt from all harm, and make it a land of goodness, dignity, and prosperity.
O Allah with whom trusts are never lost, O Allah with whom hope is never disappointed, all praise is due to You for Your countless blessings, and all thanks are due to You for Your unending grace.
Amen, O Lord of the Worlds.
May Egypt, its people and government, and the entire Islamic world be in peace and safety every year.
