Jakarta, June 6 -- Chairman of the Islamic organization Muhammadiyah Agus Taufiqurrahman stated that Eid al-Adha 1446 Hijri is a momentum to increase awareness and encourage sacrifice for others.

"We hope that the spirit of Eid al-Adha will inspire us to continue making sacrifices for the greater good of the people," he stated when met before the Eid al-Adha prayers at the Muhammadiyah Dakwah Center Building here on Friday.

He explained that the series of worships during Eid al-Adha starting from the Arafah fast, Eid al-Adha prayers, and the slaughter of sacrificial animals serve as a means to eliminate negative human traits.

"This way, we can become more moral people. These acts will help eliminate our greed and our ego," he affirmed....
