عیدالاضحیٰ کے بابرکت اور پر مسرت موقع پر میں تمام عزیز اہل وطن اور پوری اُمتِ مسلمہ کو دل کی گہرائیوں سے عید کی مبارکباد پیش کرتا ہوں۔ اللہ تعالیٰ ہمیں اس عظیم مذہبی تہوار کی خوشیوں اور جذبہ ایثار و قربانی کی حقیقی روح سے بہرہ مند فرمائے۔ یہ عید ہمیں عظیم الشان سنت ابراہیمی کی یاد دلاتی ہے جو حضرت ابراہیم علیہ السلام کی حکم الٰہی کے سامنے مکمل سپردگی اور حضرت اسماعیل علیہ السلام کی بے مثال اطاعت و فرمانبرداری کا روشن استعارہ ہے۔ یہ مقدس سنت ہمیں یہ درس دیتی ہے کہ اعلی اور مقدس مقصد کے لیے اپنی جان، خواہشات اور مفادات قربان کر دینا ہی اصل میں ایمان کی معراج اور اہل وفا کا طرۂ امتیاز ہے۔ قربانی کا جذبہ دراصل ہمیں خود غرضی، تنگ نظری اور ذاتی مفادات سے بلند ہو کر انسانیت کے لیے ہمدردی، ایثار اور احساس ذمہ داری اپنانے کا درس دیتا ہے۔ مادر وطن کے دفاع اور دہشت گردی کے واقعات میں جان قربان کرنے والے شہداء کی قربانی, ہمارا قومی فخر ہے۔ عید کا روحانی موقع اس امر کا بھی متقاضی ہے کہ ہم انفرادی اور اجتماعی سطح پر اپنے گرد و نواح میں تنگ دست، غرباء اور مستحق افراد کا خصوصی طور پر خیال کریں اور عید کی خوشیوں میں انکو شامل حال رکھیں۔ جذبہ ایثار اور اتحاد و یگانگت ہی قوموں کی زندگی میں دائمی یکجہتی اور پائیدار ترقی کا ضامن ہے. آج کے دن میں پوری قوم کی جانب سے اپنے فلسطینی اور مقبوضہ کشمیر کے مظلوم بھائیوں اور بہنوں کے ساتھ مکمل اظہار یکجہتی کرتا ہوں۔ اللہ تعالیٰ ہم سب کو عیدالاضحیٰ کی حقیقی برکتوں سے مالا مال فرمائے، ہماری قربانیاں قبول فرمائے اور دنیا کو امن، محبت اور ہم آہنگی کا گہوارہ بنائے۔ آمین! عیدالاضحیٰ مبارک!
