REISU-L-ULEMA KAVAZOVIĆ: DAYS OF EID ARE DAYS OF OUR JOY AND OUR COMMUNITY

SARAJEVO, APRIL 21 (ONASA) – The central Eid ceremony of the Rijaset of the Islamic Community was held today in the Gazi Husrev Bey Mosque in Sarajevo, where the Eid sermon was delivered by reisu-l-ulema Husein-ef. Kavazović.
In the days of Eid, said the reisu-l-ulema, let us approach each other, help each other and talk.
– On this Eid morning, we witness our devotion and submission to Almighty Allah. We thank him for the blessings of life that he has given us and for the blessings of faith that he has guided us to. Thank him for his mercy towards us and thank him for the forgiveness of sins in Ramadan. We are happy and satisfied that the light of faith entered our hearts and strengthened us with patience – said Kavazović.
In his sermon, he reminded that the homeland is the homeland, adding that we love our country and that, even when we are far from it, we carry it with us.
– Each of its powders is a drop of our blood, each of its stones is a tower where the guards tread, so let no one touch our homeland and let no one test our determination. Let’s be together, God’s help is with the community that always unerringly follows the public interest. Let’s learn to respect the public interest and conduct dialogue even when we think differently from the majority in our community. Let’s subordinate our ambitions to the community in which we live, let’s respect its regulations because that’s how we preserve order – added Kavazović.
He said that the Mubarek days of Eid are the days of our joy and our togetherness and that it is a time in which we should approach each other without any fences or interests.
– Let’s not reject each other, let’s keep our hands open and our hearts open. Let’s help each other sincerely – stressed Reisu-l-ulema.
He added that we tend to accuse, and that it is difficult for us to get to know others, and he emphasized that we do not do to others what we would not like to be done to us.
– We reject, accuse and condemn each other every day, without shame or embarrassment. Give us the strength to look at people with a look that recognizes the face of a brother and sister. Awaken in us a sense of shame and nobility, which springs from compassion for all people, especially those exposed to suffering, regardless of their origin, be they the poor, the sick or the emigrants. Our Lord, help us to rediscover in our hearts the art of compassion and sympathy, which will make us better people and better believers – said Kavazović.
