The Muslim community across the country gathered in various mosques on Sunday to celebrate Eid-Ul-Fitr, an event that marks the end of Ramada.
Idd-ul-Fitr is the first of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam.
Idd-ul-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan. It is celebrated during the first three days of Shawwāl, the 10th month of the Islamic.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale joined worshippers at Adams Mosque in Nairobi for special prayers.
Duale said the event emphasized unity, reflection and the significance of Eid celebrations in fostering peace and commitment.
“Joined the Muslim faithful at Adams Mosque, Nairobi for Eid-Ul-Fitr Prayers, marking the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan,” Duale stated.
“I continue to make a passionate plea to my fellow Muslim faithful to continue their acts of charity and sustain their prayers for our country and its unity, even after the holy month of Ramadan has concluded.”
He promised to strive for an efficient, inclusive and accessible healthcare system, having transitioned from the Environment Ministry to the health docket.
Kamukunji Member of Parliament Yusuf Hassan also joined worshippers at Business Bay Square (BBS) mosque in Nairobi, where he called for national unity, peace and compassion.
“In the spirit of Eid, I called for a collective stand against division and hatred, urging us to foster unity, harmony, and love, not only within our community, but across the entire nation. It is through this solidarity that we can build a future of enduring peace and prosperity for all Kenyans," he said.
