Hajj Message from the Prime Minister

This year’s Hajj holds particular significance as it is being celebrated under a government aligned with the same vision and guiding policies.

The aim of the government is also to ensure the fair distribution of resources for all and to build an altruistic society within the country.

This tradition, which symbolizes the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail in devotion to God, is a profound moment that highlights the spirit of sacrifice in Islam.

In that sense, the Hajj pilgrimage where Muslim community from across the globe come together to fulfill religious duties and pray for world peace, serves as a powerful example to all of humanity.

With the hope of a future ensured by peace, justice, and humanity with the expectation of united nation beyond ethnic differences, I wish all Muslim devotees for a joyful Eid al-Adha festival.

Dr. Harini Amarasuriya

Prime Minister

Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka
