"I cordially congratulate the Muslims of Abkhazia on one of the most revered holidays by Muslims - Eid al-Adha.

Eid al-Adha marks the end of the pilgrimage to holy places, serves to unite people, strengthen values, care for others and mercy.

Every believer strives to make prayers on this day, celebrate a sacred holiday with the family, surround loved ones and relatives with care, provide help to everyone who needs it.

The Muslim community of the Republic of Abkhazia is doing a lot of charitable work, pays attention to social and educational initiatives of the country.

Our Muslim compatriots provided substantial fraternal assistance in the form of a large number of medicines and personal protective equipment during the active spread of coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in the country. The value of such a contribution, among other things, contributes to development of fruitful cooperation with state and public institutions, to maintenance of interethnic and interreligious dialogue, as well as counteracts religious intolerance and extremism, "  the message says.

Bzhaniya wished all Muslims of Abkhazia, as well as compatriots living in Muslim countries, health, prosperity and bright holidays ".
