THE celebration of Hari Raya Aidiladha should serve as a meaningful reflection on the values of sacrifice and unity in fostering a harmonious society, said National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang.
In a message shared on Facebook, Aaron noted that the ritual of qurban symbolises not only religious devotion but also sincerity and solidarity – values that are essential for national peace and cohesion.
"These values are vital in building a peaceful and harmonious nation," Bernama cited him saying.
Echoing his sentiments, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri urged all Muslims to embrace the spirit of sacrifice through acts of worship as well as efforts to promote unity, compassion, and communal well-being.
“Aidiladha teaches us that sacrifices made with sincerity and piety form the foundation of a united and prosperous society. I pray that this year’s sacrificial rites will be accepted by Him and mark the beginning of a more blessed, harmonious and principled life. Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all Muslims,” she said.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa added that the occasion serves as a reminder of the true meaning of sacrifice, sincerity, and obedience.
“Aidiladha also unites our hearts in the spirit of giving and caring for others. May the sacrificial rites performed be a reflection of our gratitude and empathy towards those in need. To the pilgrims, the ‘duyufurrahman’ (guests of Allah) currently in the Holy Land, we pray that all your rituals will be eased and that your haj is accepted as ‘haj mabrur’,” Bernama reported her saying.
Dr Zaliha also expressed hope that the sacred day would be celebrated with gratitude, serenity, and unity, and that the spirit of Aidiladha would empower Muslims to continue upholding humanitarian values in their everyday lives.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad wrote that Aidiladha is not merely a festival but a timeless call for humanity, sacrifice, and loyalty.
He also highlighted the importance of physical well-being as an act of worship. “Aidiladha serves as a reminder to remain healthy as our bodies belong to Allah SWT, and Muslims must sacrifice by refraining from harmful habits and live a healthy life in gratitude for His blessing,” he said.
“As the world faces various crises of unfairness, human suffering and diminishing values, Aidiladha invites us to return to the basics of honest worship, sharing transparently and fighting for justice in our daily lives,” he added.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek noted that this year’s Aidiladha marks a new chapter for strength and virtue in enduring struggles and sacrifices.
“May the pilgrims performing their Haj in the Holy Land be blessed with the strength to carry out the rituals,” she said.
Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali reminded Malaysians of the examples of loyalty and integrity set by Prophet Ibrahim A.S. and Prophet Ismail A.S.
“May this spirit of sacrifice deepen piety, self-awareness, and strengthen obedience to Allah SWT, and to all the Haj pilgrims, we entrust our prayers that you be granted health, safety, and bestowed with an accepted Haj,” he said.
