Residents across the UAE gathered early on Wednesday morning for Eid Al Adha prayers, as the country marked the holy occasion.
UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan extended greetings to the Rulers of the Emirates, citizens, residents, and Muslims around the world on the occasion.
He performed the Eid Al Adha prayer at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.
In his message, he also extended greetings to “all those who call the UAE home,” highlighting a message of unity, compassion, and shared belonging during the festival.
The President’s remarks reflected the UAE’s inclusive ethos, often summarised in his statement that “In the UAE, everyone is Emirati,” which takes on added significance during Eid celebrations when communities from diverse nationalities come together in prayer and reflection.
