He <\/span>reiterated<\/span> that the <\/span>history<\/span> of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and Prophet Ismail (AS) <\/span>comes<\/span> with the lesson of <\/span>sacrifice, obedience, and devotion as <\/span>the<\/span> pillars <\/span>of a strong and <\/span>cohesive<\/span> society.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added<\/span>, <\/span>“<\/span>The spirit of Eid ul Adha <\/span>gives<\/span> us <\/span>values of patience, courage, and <\/span>benevolence<\/span> which can <\/span>be<\/span> the<\/span> basis<\/span> for national development<\/span>.”<\/span> Looking<\/span> back<\/span> at <\/span>recent <\/span>frictions<\/span> with India, he <\/span>stated<\/span>, <\/span>“<\/span>Just as the nation <\/span>came<\/span> together<\/span> against aggression, we <\/span>now <\/span>need to <\/span>remain <\/span>firm<\/span> in <\/span>surmounting<\/span> our internal challenges<\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n
