Grandmasters of data, Globacom has felicitated with the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria as they celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
The company also admonished them to continuously emulate the exemplary life of Prophet Ibraheem (PBH) which was replete with love, dedication and sacrifice.
Globacom said this in a goodwill message to commemorate the occasion and also appealed to Muslims to seize the opportunity of the occasion to pray for the prosperity of the Nigerian economy, promotion of peace, unity and development of the nation in obedience to the injunctions of Prophet Mohammed (SAW), to his followers.
“Globacom felicitates with the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria on the occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration. We urge you all to use this season of charity, peace-making and forgiveness to remember to fend for the poor and the needy in line with Allah’s injunction to be our brother’s keepers,” the network added.
While congratulating Muslims who successfully performed this year’s Hajj in fulfillment of one of the pillars of the Islamic faith, Globacom enjoined them to remain steadfast and be guided by the fundamental teachings of Prophet Mohammed which include commitment, dedication and obedience to higher authority. These qualities, Globacom noted, were depicted by the compliance of Prophet Ibraheem to sacrifice his son in tandem with the will of Allah, a supreme act of faith which Eid-el-Kabir commemorates.
Said Globacom, “We call on Muslims to use the occasion to continue to live up to the tenets of their faith through acts of charity, peaceful co-existence with their neighbours and obedience to the injunctions of the Holy Quoran.”
The company has, in the spirit of the season, pledged to continue to provide high quality products and services at competitive rates throughout the Sallah period and afterwards. It assures Muslims on its network of a seamless communications experience during and after the festive season.
Eid-el-Kabir, also known as Feast of the Sacrifice, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide after the annual Hajj.
