UNC Chairman Lee – Eid-ul-Fitr Greetings
As Chairman of the United National Congress and Member of Parliament for Pointe a Pierre, I extend warm greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters on this most auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. May Allah continue to shower them, their families and our nation, with blessings of love, harmony, wisdom and prosperity.
As we celebrate Eid, it is also a time to be reminded of the important role our faith plays in motivating our communities and nation to serve and stand with those in need.
For the past month, our Islamic brothers and sisters would have demonstrated commitment, dedication and faith by fasting. As a nation we can all learn from them as by practising the same discipline of faith in our own daily routines we would be able to enhance our own lives as well as those around us with goodness and joy.
Like our Muslim brothers and sisters globally who practice Zakat, which is the giving of Alms/charity on this special day, as a nation it is important that we all adopt this principle of assisting the less fortunate families around us as it is one of the few ways we can achieve meaningful national development.
At this time of celebration, let us remember that it is by working together, holding hands in a spirit of unity and building on the firm foundations laid by all our ancestors, that we will make Trinidad and Tobago a place where there is peace and prosperity for all.
May the blessings of Allah fill the lives of our citizens with happiness and open all the doors of success now and always.
