The cleric congratulated Muslims on the occasion of Eid al-Adha and hailed the adolescent Muslim students attending Islamic camps for further familiarization with the teachings of Qur’an, Ahlul Bayt (AS) and Islam.
 
He said,” To raise the younger generation is the major responsibility of Muslim families living in non-Muslim countries” and added,” This is a mission to be fulfilled firstly by parents and then by cultural and Islamic centers.”

Eid al-Adha is one of the greatest Islamic occasions marked by world Muslims. Also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, the occasion marks the historical moment of obedience by Prophet Abraham (PBUH) who sacrificed his son Ismail at the order of the Almighty God before a ram was sent to be sacrificed instead of the son.
