Celebrities in the country such as Susan Peters, Uche Jombo, Laide Bakare and Small Doctor have taken to social media to share some warm words with their Muslim fans as they celebrate Eid El Kabir.
Eid El Kabir is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year (the other being Eid Mubarak) and considered the holier of the two.
It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God’s command. Before Abraham could sacrifice his son, God provided a ram to sacrifice instead.
In commemoration of this, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts: one-third of the share is given to the poor and needy; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is retained by the family.
Below are some of their messages.
