FULL STATEMENT:
EID-EL-FITR MESSAGE FROM HIS ROYAL MAJESTY OBA OLUWAGBEMIGA OLOFIN-ADIMULA (ARULEWOLASI III), THE IRALEPO OF ISINKAN KINGDOM
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
With profound gratitude to Almighty Allah, I extend my warmest congratulations to the Muslim Ummah in Isinkan kingdom, Ondo State, across Nigeria, and around the world on this auspicious occasion of Eid-el-Fitr.
This is a moment of immense joy and thanksgiving as we celebrate the successful completion of the blessed month of Ramadan, a period of intense worship, self-discipline, and deep spiritual reflection.
Ramadan has taught us valuable lessons in patience, selflessness, and devotion to Allah’s commandments. It has been a time of purification, where we sought forgiveness, engaged in acts of charity, and strengthened our bond with the Almighty. As we now step into this new phase, let us carry forward the virtues instilled in us—love for one another, kindness, and unwavering faith in Allah’s guidance.
Eid-el-Fitr is not only a time of celebration but also a period of renewed commitment to peace, unity, and harmony. As a people, we must strive to build bridges of understanding and cooperation, regardless of our differences. Islam teaches us the importance of brotherhood, tolerance, and respect for all, and it is my fervent hope that we will continue to uphold these values in our communities.
At this time, I call on all well-meaning citizens to extend hands of support to the less privileged. Let us remember those who are struggling, those who are displaced, and those who are facing hardship. The true spirit of Eid lies in giving, sharing, and ensuring that no one is left behind. Our compassion and generosity should not be limited to Ramadan but should be part of our everyday lives.
Furthermore, as we celebrate, let us not forget to pray for our beloved nation, Nigeria. We must seek divine intervention for peace, stability, and prosperity. May Allah guide our leaders at all levels, granting them wisdom, justice, and the ability to serve the people diligently. I urge all citizens to continue being law-abiding, to promote dialogue over conflict, and to work towards national unity and progress.
To my fellow traditional rulers, religious leaders, and community heads, I implore you to continue playing your role in fostering peace and development within our regions. Let us collectively work towards creating an environment where justice, fairness, and equity prevail, so that every citizen can thrive.
As we rejoice in the festivities, let us remember that Eid-el-Fitr is not just about feasting but about gratitude. Let us express our thanks to Allah for His countless blessings and strive to be better versions of ourselves in our homes, workplaces, and society at large.
May Almighty Allah accept our fasts, prayers, and good deeds. May He bless our homes with happiness, our communities with peace, and our country with enduring prosperity. May we live to witness many more Eids in good health, joy, and abundance.
Eid Mubarak to you all!
Signed,
Oba Oluwagbemiga Olofin-Adimula,
The Iralepo of Isinkan kingdom.
