The statement marked the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr as not only a moment of joy, but also an opportunity for reflection and renewed responsibility.
Environment Central to Eid Reflections
A major focus of the message is the theme “Our Earth, Our Future,” which highlights environmental protection as a core religious and moral duty.
Drawing guidance from the Qur’an, the Office emphasised that the earth and its resources are signs of Allah’s greatness and a trust placed in the care of humanity.
The message pointed to Qur’anic teachings that emphasised the balance and harmony in creation, urging believers to reflect on their role as Khalifah — stewards responsible for preserving the natural world.
It noted that the earth has been provided as a source of sustenance for all living beings, with resources allocated in due measure. As such, humans are expected to manage these resources with wisdom, moderation and gratitude.
