In his message to the nation on Eid ul Adha, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that the real meaning of sacrifice is obedience and submission to Allah.
“Allah sees the intention of His obedient people and on that basis gives the reward,” he said.
He added that Muslims can fulfill their obligation during the special occasion of Eid ul Adha by helping out orphans, widows, the needy, and the poor.
“We should share the happiness of Eid with the needy and deprived around us, who are affected by the wave of international inflation,” the premier said.
”We should also not forget those affected by the recent floods and rains and fully help them in this hour of need. It is our duty to support them and share their grief.”

عید الاضحی کے موقع پر میں قوم سے اپیل کرونگا کہ COVID ایس او پیز کا خاص خیال رکھیں تاکہ آپ اور اپکے پیارے اس جان لیوا مرض سے محفوظ رہیں. اسکے علاوہ قربانی کے بعد صفائی ستھرائی کا خاص خیال رکھیں. پیارے پاکستان کو صاف رکھنے کی ذمہ داری ہم سب کی ہے.
