Hundreds of Muslims from Fort Portal have gathered at the main mosque this morning to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The faithful joined millions around the world in prayers and thanksgiving, as the Tooro Muslim Community District Khadi delivered a message centered on mercy and compassion.
While addressing the congregation, the district Khadi urged believers to embrace mercy, kindness, and humanity in their daily lives in order to promote peaceful coexistence. He expressed concern over the ongoing conflicts and loss of innocent lives in Iran and other parts of the Middle East, noting that the continued violence reflects a troubling decline in compassion and respect for human life. He called upon the faithful to pray for peace and to renew their commitment to mercy.
The religious leader also encouraged Muslims to sustain the spirit of generosity practiced during the 30 days of Ramadan. He emphasized the importance of continuing to support the less fortunate through acts such as providing food, shelter, clothing, and offering prayers.
In addition, the Khadi reminded the congregation to thank God for the gift of life and the strength to complete the fasting period of Ramadan. He urged them to remain grateful and steadfast in their faith beyond the holy month.
