Congratulation of the Chairman of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan Sheralizoda Bahadur Ahmadjon in honor of Eid al-Adha                     

Dear Colleagues,

I congratulate you on the advent of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important holidays of the Islamic religion, I wish you good health, good luck and new success in your endeavors.

The essence of the religion of the followers of Islam lies in high moral morality. We clearly feel this in the heavenly revelations and hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). All our great predecessors respected these sacred wisdoms and explained them along with the traditions of the ancestors and based on them created universal teachings.

It is symbolic that on June 8 this year, the Founder of Peace and National Unity-Leader of the Nation, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, dear Emomali Rahmon, opened the largest prayer mosque in the capital of our beloved Motherland, the city of Dushanbe, which is evidence of the noble steps taken by the Head of our state for society, the Muslims of the country, for the open and legitimate expression of religious beliefs outside of politics.

Keeping the environment clean and tidy, paying tribute to the blessings of nature, which is the creation of God, is considered one of the pillars of original Islam. Our native Tajikistan has a paradise nature, purest waters, healing springs, lakes and rivers, a rich world of rare flora and fauna, which attracts the attention of domestic and foreign guests and tourists.

You and I, environmentalists, have a duty to use this land with God's hidden treasures wisely and leave it to future generations in a good and dignified condition. This good deed has its merit and place along with the injunctions of the Qur'an.

Once again I congratulate you on the bright Eid al-Adha, your family members, dear compatriots. I wish health, happiness and prosperity to each of your families.

Happy Eid al-Adha, dear colleagues!
