Report informs, the congratulatory message reads:

"I extend my heartfelt congratulations and sincerest wishes to you and all our compatriots living outside Azerbaijan on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, which symbolizes moral unity, solidarity, and brotherhood.

Eid al-Adha, one of the main holidays of Islam, which Allah chose as the path of truth for humanity, embodies spiritual unity, solidarity, kindness, and tolerance. This blessed holiday represents the spiritual and moral unity of Muslims around the world, pious people's love for the Almighty, and readiness for dedication in the name of justice.

Being devoted to progressive Islamic values, the Azerbaijani people have cherished Eid al-Adha as one of the blessed days since ancient times, even during the most challenging periods. Millions of Muslims, including thousands of our fellow countrymen, who now demonstrate great solidarity as they perform Hajj, express their gratitude to the Almighty and pray for peace and tranquility in our country and the world," said the President.

On these festive days, Muslims do their sacred duty for Allah and religion, make sacrifices, help the poor and needy, pay tribute to the everlasting memory of our martyrs. It is with great satisfaction that I want to emphasize that every such festive occasion becomes a triumph of benevolence, unity, and equality, devotion to the Motherland, and national statehood in our society.

I believe that this blessed holiday will boost our people's heroism and devotion for the progress of the independent Republic of Azerbaijan and will further strengthen civil peace and national and moral solidarity in our country.

May Allah accept the sacrifices you make and bless each of you with the best of health, your families with happiness, and your homes with abundance."
