Sharif urges nation to unite as one in Eidul Azha message

PakistanPrime Minister Nawaz Sharif has urged the country, in his Eidul Azha message, to converge their spirits of sacrifice and unite as one.

According to The Dawn, Sharif felicitated his countrymen and all Muslims on the occasion of the festival.

Eidul Azha is a day of remembrance of the obedience of Hazrat Ibrahim and the reverence of Hazrat Ismael when they set an extraordinary example of sacrifice and selflessness, Sharif said.

He said Islam regarded this act of submission to Allah an obligatory practice for wealthy Muslims. (ANI)
