Hajj shows Islam’s message of justice, equality: Brown

LONDON, December 11, SPA – The British Prime Minister sent his “warm
wishes” and greetings to British Muslims on the occasion of Eid
Al-Adha.


Gordon Brown in his message to the British Muslim Community said,
“For me, the inspirational thing about Hajj is the great stirrings
for justice that shows in the Ummah".


“At this special time, we can also reflect upon and celebrate the
tremendous contributions of British Muslims to our national life, "
he was quoted as saying in a report published today by Saudi Gazette.

On his part, Britain’s foreign secretary David Miliband also sent
his greetings. “As Muslims all over the world, including in Britain,
celebrate with their families, it is a good moment to reflect on the
message that Eid carries for us all,” Miliband said. “Eid Al-Adha
commemorates the sacrifice and steadfastness of Prophet Abraham.
These two qualities, of sacrifice and steadfastness, are ones that
must guide what we do,” he said.
