Washington: United States (US) President Joe biden and First Lady Jill Biden haave sent their warmest greetings to those celebrating Eid al-Adha around the world.
"On behalf of the American people, we wish all those celebrating a safe and wonderful holiday. Eid Mubarak," said Biden in a statement on Tuesday.
According to Biden, the Eid traditions and Hajj rituals of providing for those less fortunate in commemoration of Abraham and his son’s devotion to God carry a special meaning this year as the world continues to navigate the challenges of covid-19 and work to respond to and recover from the global pandemic.
"The American people are proud to be helping lead the fight to end covid-19 globally by donating more than half a billion vaccines to countries around the world, including Muslim-majority nations," he stated.
"We must all work together to save lives and end this pandemic everywhere," he added.
The Hajj, he said, is also a reminder of Islam’s commitment to equality and the shared roots of the world’s Abrahamic faiths.
"The United States is committed to working with the international community to emerge stronger from the pandemic, and thousands of Muslim Americans are among those eager to perform the pilgrimage next year, God willing," he said.
