Maulana Latif led the Eid prayer and delivered the khutbah. In a meaningful speech before the prayer, he said, “We are celebrating Eid-ul-Azha during a time of deep global crisis, when humanity is being trampled in many parts of the world. In Gaza, Palestine, one of the worst genocides in history is unfolding—thousands of women and children have been killed, and many others are being forced out of their homeland. In these trying times, it is essential for us to understand the true meaning and purpose of Qurbani (sacrifice).”
The overall supervision of the congregation was carried out by Ruhul Amin Mridha, President of Hezbut Tawheed’s Barishal Region. In his speech, he reflected on the past glory of the Muslim Ummah and the challenges it faces today.

In their speeches, they stated, “Eid-ul-Azha is not merely a festival of animal sacrifice, but a profound lesson in self-purification and sacrifice.

Female worshippers expressed joy at being able to join the Eid prayer with their male family members.

The prayer was led by Shaharul Islam, President of Hezbut Tawheed’s Meherpur District. In his khutbah, he emphasized the importance of unity and brotherhood within the Muslim Ummah.

The spirit of Eid will only be fulfilled when justice and peace are established across the world according to Allah’s divine laws.”
