Ouagadougou: The Muslim faithful of the town of Dédougou celebrated on Sunday June 16, 2024 in Dédougou, the festival of Aïr El Kébir called Tabaski. They invoked the protection of the fighting forces, the return of peace and good rainfall.
The Tabaski prayer took place on Sunday June 16, 2024 in Dédougou, in the presence of regional authorities and other religious faiths.
They prayed for the return of peace to Burkina Faso and good rainfall, the return of peace to our dear country and protection of the fighting forces engaged in the theater of operations.
Imam Mamadou BA invited the faithful to pray for the strengthening of faith, unity, forgiveness, sharing and solidarity, which are values ??that every Burkinabè should cultivate for peace and cohesion.
Blessings were made for the health of the Grand Imam who is out of the region for treatment.
Imam Ba recalled the meaning of the celebration which is the obedience of the prophet Abraham to God who wanted to sacrifice his son Isaac.
God recognizing the
obedience of the prophet, sent him a ram for him to sacrifice on his altar.
He therefore gave the example of the ritual by immolating his ram on site and at the same time invites every Muslim who can to do this same ritual at home.
The regional authorities and representatives of other religious faiths hoped for the return of peace, cohesion and a good agricultural campaign in the region and for all of Burkina.
