AssalamuAlaikum! The Students’ Union team and I wish you a very happy and peaceful Eid Al Adha Mubarak. May the Baraqah (blessings) of the day surround you.
Eid Al Adha is a celebration that marks the end of Hajj, the five-day pilgrimage Muslims undertake to cleanse the soul of sins and instil a sense of equality and brotherhood. Celebrations normally include spending time with friends and family, wearing new attire and exchanging gifts.
This year, the celebrations will all the more joyous as families will be celebrating their first Eid Al Adha since the pandemic began. I hope you all enjoy spending this special time with your loved ones after being kept apart for so long.
Hajj Mubarak to all students, staff and families celebrating the completion of Hajj.
Stay safe and have a great celebration!
