Washington D.C. Secretary Blinken on behalf of the United States extends warm wishes for a blessed Eid al-Adha to Muslims celebrating in U.S. and across the world. For the millions of Muslims who performed the Hajj pilgrimage, we also wish the returning pilgrims a Hajj Mabroor.
U.S. State Department on the press release issued reflects on the spirit of Eid, this year at a time when many Muslims are experiencing deep pain. Our thoughts are with those facing repression or the effects of conflict, as well as those experiencing the global surge in hate-fueled violence and other forms of Islamophobia.
For many who celebrate, Eid al-Adha is a commemoration of faith, sacrifice, and hope restored for a better future. Today, we recognize the leadership of Muslim Americans and the contributions of so many Muslim communities across the globe to building a better world, and we recommit to work for a more peaceful future in which all can enjoy freedom and prosperity. Eid Mubarak.
