Dear “Маnas” family,
We are experiencing the peace and the joy of Eid al-Adha when feelings of unity, sharing and solidarity are felt most deeply. It is a time when our hearts reconnect, friendships strengthen, love, respect and tolerance enrich our lives.
As expressed in the command of Allah the Almighty, "Help one another in righteousness and piety" (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 2), the essence of Eid al-Adha is sincerity, sharing, compassion, and heartfelt connection. Remembering those in need, visiting our elders, bringing smiles to children's faces, and building sincere bonds between hearts are the most valuable ways to keep the true spirit of Eid alive.
It is our hope that Eid al-Adha brings peace to our hearts, tranquility to our nations, and hope and prosperity to humanity. With these thoughts and feelings, I extend my most heartfelt greetings on the occasion of the blessed Eid al-Adha to the entire Islamic world—beginning with the Turkic World—as well as to friendly and brotherly Kyrgyzstan and Türkiye, and to our esteemed Manas Family. I wish you many joyous celebrations in unity, togetherness, peace, health, and happiness.
Happy Eid al-Adha!
Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan
Rector of Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University
