On this joyous occasion of Eid al-Fitr, 10th April 2024, the Irish Muslim Peace & Integration Council extends warm greetings and heartfelt prayers to all our brothers and sisters celebrating across Ireland and around the world.

As we come together with family and friends to commemorate the end of Ramadan, let us also remember those who are facing immense challenges and hardship, particularly our beloved brothers and sisters in Gaza and Palestine. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during these difficult times.

We fervently pray for peace, stability, and safety for the people of Gaza and Palestine. May the Almighty grant them strength, patience, and resilience to endure the trials they are facing. Let us join hands in invoking Allah’s mercy and blessings upon them, and may He bring an end to the suffering through a just and lasting ceasefire.

As we exchange gifts, share meals, and celebrate the blessings of Eid, let us also renew our commitment to compassion, solidarity, and empathy towards all humanity. May this Eid bring us closer together as a global community, united in the pursuit of peace, justice, and harmony for all.

Eid Mubarak to one and all!

With prayers and best wishes,

Dr Umar Al-Qadri
