"My dear sisters and brothers. Wishing the prayers you make on these days for prosperity and welfare of our people and state as well as sacrifices to be accepted by Almighty, I express once again my sincere congratulations to each of you. May this bright holiday bring happiness and abundance to your families.
Happy Eid al-Adha!"
