KARACHI: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday called for greater unity across the Muslim world in his Eid Al-Fitr message, highlighting ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Kashmir and the wider Middle East as he urged collective efforts toward peace and justice.
Pakistan is celebrating Eid Al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, at a time of heightened regional tensions, including ongoing hostilities in the Middle East that have raised concerns about broader instability.
Eid, one of the most important festivals in Islam, is traditionally marked by prayers, charity and gatherings with family and community, while also serving as a moment for reflection on shared values of compassion and solidarity.
“Even as we celebrate Eid with gratitude and joy, our hearts remain heavy for the people of Gaza and Kashmir, as well as our brothers and sisters affected by the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East and the region,” Sharif said in a statement.
“Today, more than ever, we need greater unity within the Ummah so that we may collectively uphold justice, dignity, and lasting peace for all.”
