KABUL (BAN) Congratulatory Message of Mawlawi Hibautullah Akhundzadah, the Supreme Leader of Islamic Emirate on eve of Eid-ul-Adha
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful
To the Muslims of the World and Muslim and the nation of Afghanistan!
First of all, I would like to convey my heartfelt congratulations to all Muslims, countrymen, families of martyrs, widows and orphans on the arrival of Eid-ul-Adha. May Allah the almighty accepts our sacrifices, pilgrimages, prayers and good deeds.
Dear Compatriots!
By the grace of Allah, we celebrate this Eid in a time when our country has been completely liberated, Islamic government has been established and the entire nation is living in peace and brotherhood.
This victory is not only belonging to the Islamic Emirate and the Mujhideen, but it also belongs to the entire Afghan nation that during the past 20-year of Jihad, they suffered all kinds of hardships till our country was freed of invasion.
The Islamic Emirate pays close attention to the establishment of an Islamic government in Afghanistan, ensuring peace and security and the development of the country.
By the grace of Allah, after a long delay, this year many of our people traveled to the Mecca, May Allah, accept their prayers and return them home safely. We hope that the pilgrims will remember us in their prayers, and also pray for the progress of the country and the well-being and happiness of the people.
We assure our neighbors, the region and the world that we will not allow anyone to use our territory to threaten the security of other countries. We also want other countries not to interfere in our internal affairs.
Within the framework of mutual interaction and commitment, we want good, diplomatic, economic and political relations with the world, including the United States, and we consider this in the interest of all sides.
Afghanistan is the common home of all Afghans, we must all take part in the reconstruction of the country, we must consider work for development as our national duty, I call on all directions that we do not want enmity with anyone, our arms are open to our countrymen. Our friendship and enmity are based on the principles of Islam.
As Afghans are returning from abroad to their homeland, I instruct the Contact Commission for Afghan Personalities to fulfill all the promises made to them and ensure their safety and security.
I call on those who are trying to oppose the Islamic system and making conspiracy inside and outside of the country, to learn from the past; such actions are not in the favor of anyone. It is better to stop evil deeds and return to a peaceful life under the shadow of the Islamic rule.
The Islamic Emirate is aware of all the problems that our people are facing. Strengthening the economy, rebuilding the country and removing the remaining problems is a shared responsibility of all. Let’s work together in all legitimate matters, support each other and rebuild and prosper this country.
I am confident that our people will continue to support the Islamic system and I appreciate the clerics, tribal elders and community leaders who declared their support from the Islamic Emirate and made proposals and recommendations for the benefit of the people in a huge gathering held in Kabul recently.
I call on the clerics and elders to work with the Islamic Emirate for stability of peace, security and prosperity.
The Islamic Emirate pays attention to education, with special emphasize on religious as well as modern studies for children; the Islamic Emirate understands the importance of education and will work hard for progress in the area.
The Islamic Emirate has a Complaints Hearing Authority under the Ministry of Vice and Virtue. Citizens can contact the Complaints Hearing Authority and register their complaints in case of any injustice.
I instruct Complaints Hearing Authority to attentively listen to the complaints of people, follow up on every complaint and address it on time and properly, if further action is required, people can refer to Supreme Court or military courts for cooperation.
It is also the duty of the Islamic Emirate to provide as much health care as possible to the people. Pay more attention to health services, make more efforts to improve the services across the country in cooperation with domestic and international organizations.
Religious scholars and clerics in coordination with the Ministry of Vice and Virtue, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Higher Education should pay more attention to raise awareness in religious issues and correct their deeds. Every nation and country can enjoy honor and true peace and prosperity when there is no rebellion against Allah, thus, the task of correcting the people and informing them about the religion has been entrusted to the scholars and clerics who should fulfill their responsibilities in this regard.
The Islamic Emirate is committed to upholding all the rights of its citizens, as Islam teaches us to grant and protect the rights of all people, and within the framework of the Sharia law, the rights of women will be also ensured.
The Islamic Emirate is committed to freedom of expression in the light of Islamic principles and Sharia as well as country’s national interests, journalists should keep in mind the mentioned issues and the principles of journalism.
All talented and professional people with good background, including, doctors, engineers and all educated cadres who can serve the nation, as well as national traders and investors should know that our country is in dire need of their skill, guidance and work. The Islamic Emirate values them, and we will all work together to rebuild our country.
All security forces of the Islamic Emirate should be careful of their deeds, be sincere while on duty, follow the directions of their officials and tread people well and avoid arrogance and conceit.
Protection of the treasury and government requires attention from all of us, especially protection of weapons, military vehicles, ammunition, government buildings, national property and all things related to the treasury, are the trust of this nation, no one has the right to waste it, spoil it and dispose it.
Many Afghans were affected by the recent earthquake in some parts of the country, their family members were martyred and injured, May Allah forgive the martyrs and give their family members patience and reward.
This disaster was miserable for us and all the countrymen, we all share in their grief and I have given the responsibility to the officials in time to reach to affected areas and provide all possible assistance to the people. I am confident that the officials have done their job transparently and efficiently.
The Islamic Emirate pays special attention to the needs of the families of the poor, orphans and the disabled and other needy people in the country. The Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled, and Refugees and the Red Crescent Society have been instructed to do everything possible to help the poor, as well as the families of orphans and widows and other needy citizens. It is also the responsibility of the traders and businessmen to pay more attention to their poor citizens and help them in difficult economic situation, more specifically during Eid days.
At the end, I would like to once again congratulate all the countrymen on the occasion of Eid-al-Adha and hope that our people will spend Eid holidays in a safe and joyful atmosphere.
