Today, 28th May 2026, marks the observance of the sacred festival of Eid al-Adha, celebrated with deep devotion by Muslims across the world.
According to Islamic belief, the Hajj commemoration symbolises the unwavering faith and unparalleled sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim in devotion to Almighty Allah. The observance holds special significance as the pilgrimage to Mecca is regarded as the fifth of the five great obligations of Islam.
In a world increasingly affected by conflict and division, the Hajj festival offers a profound example of the importance of human solidarity and mutual compassion. I firmly believe that this gathering, where Muslims from all corners of the world come together irrespective of race, nationality or social standing to perform religious rites in unity, conveys to humanity a powerful message of equality and brotherhood.
Furthermore, even amidst the difficulties currently faced by the world due to the conflict situation in the Middle East, Muslim devotees undertaking the pilgrimage to Mecca continue to commemorate the immense sacrifice and devotion demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim throughout his life.
The vision of our Government, too, is to build a compassionate and harmonious society founded on peace, unity and selflessness rather than selfishness. As we pursue this journey, I urge all citizens to embrace more closely in their lives the values embodied by the Hajj celebration, peace, brotherhood and sacrifice.
As we continue to enrich Sri Lankan society with spiritual values and move forward together in a spirit of brotherhood towards building a developed nation where the benefits of progress are shared by all, I extend my heartfelt wishes to the Muslim community in Sri Lanka and across the world for a blessed Eid al-Adha.
Eid – Mubarak!

The people in charge don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.
Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.
Today's Morning Note newsletter covers Masoud Pezeshkian's condemnation of Trump's “desecration of Jesus,” the Iran War's gutting effects on America's housing market, Colombia's plan to murder Pablo Escobar's hippopotami, and more. Read below.

@MrAdnanRashid According to your logic, you are not supposed to live in the UK for what the British did to the world and your native country my dear Sheikh Adnan.
@MrAdnanRashid The British played a decisive role in the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan through strategic policies that fostered religious division and a final, rushed withdrawal that triggered a massive humanitarian crisis.
@MrAdnanRashid@muftihamdard Then why can't we tolerate the people who are doing a major sin [cursing the companions (Rali)] and leave their affairs to Allah rather than we curse them and give judgment for them?
@MrAdnanRashid@muftihamdard@MrAdnanRashid Is rejecting Allah and His Messenger (PBUH) is greater sin or Cursing the sahaba (Rali) greater sin? I think the 1st one is Kufr and the 2nd one is A major Sin. Please correct me if I am wrong. My question is if we can tolerate and live among the kuffars, then why
JD VANCE: “Iran was going to use Nuclear Suicide Vests to kill tens of thousands of people. That’s why they had to attack.”
These people still haven’t realized that we’re not buying a word of their Israeli-written propaganda bullshit.
When was the last time you said anything about the “reach” of the US and Europe when it comes to projecting military power into the Middle East?
The US has killed thousands of Iranian civilians.
And yet this is not “terrifying” enough for you to comment on.
Instead you cover the US attacks like a fan boy.
And Iran demonstrates a retaliatory capability, and suddenly it’s “terrifying”.
Iran did not start this war, another little detail you always leave out.
But now that Iran has survived and is striking back, it’s “terrifying.”
The lack of balance in your coverage is manifest.
@TheBritLad No, he wasn’t arrested for not selling halal, he was arrested because he was in possession of a bladed article (knife) with intent to use in public place.
You’re a shameless bullshitter, but this app pays you well for it.
Regarding @Cobratate attacks on @sneako,
Tate is compromised,
He has "Tech teams in Israel",
His brother has an "Israeli girlfriend",
Slandering Sneako and Doxxing his family especially on Laylat ul-Qadr is evil,
He's putting Sneakos life in danger, Muslims must condemn it.
There was no 40 beheaded babies, 6 million jews were not gassed during WW2, the Covid vax wasn’t safe, Iran was never a threat to the U.S., and the Epstein files were not a hoax.
It’s all jewish bullshit.
This man @MarioNawfal had turned out to be a total Zionist shill. Be careful and do not believe a word he says.
He tweets, for example, 4 neutral tweets and then the fifth one will be an absolute lie.
A fact based warning from me. Never have I ever tweeted against any account previously so take it seriously.
Thanks.
