Qurbani teaches people the virtues of sacrifice and patience, and we must take lessons from it, President M Abdul Hamid said.
The head of state also called upon everyone to shun all evil and ominous paths at a reception he hosted in Bangabhaban on the occasion of the Holy Eid-ul-Azha.
Religions’ fundamental message is the humanity, that shows people the path of wellbeing, the President added expressing hope that the Qurbani and its sacrificial attitude would be reflected in individual, social and political life.
“An equality-based happy, prosperous and peaceful society system can be built by ensuring mutual respects and utmost tolerance among all,” Abdul Hamid said.
