We express our gratitude to Allah for this wonderful favour He has done for us. Today is Eid day and we have been blessed with two Eid’s. The eid-ul-adha and eid-ul jummah. Jummah is a day of Eid. So today that we have Eid is a great bless from Allah that we have to show this gratitude to Allah. It is upon this note that we call on all of you that today is day of remembrance.”
