'Joy of Eid' programme continues with gift distribution to 5,000 children
DOHA: The General Directorate of Endowments at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, with support from the Family and Childhood Endowment Fund, continued its 'Joy of Eid' programmeby distributing gifts to around 5,000 children across 35 prayer grounds and mosques throughout the country, in celebration of Eid Al Adha. Director General of the General Directorate of Endowments, Eng Hassan bin Abdullah Al Marzouqi said, "The Joy of Eid programme is an initiative that reflects the Directorate's commitment to making endowments a meaningful part of people's lives, especially during joyful and festive occasions. The initiative embodies the slogan, 'Endowment is a Community Partnership', and is part of the ongoing efforts of the Family and Childhood Endowment Fund to support families and children." He noted that, for the first time, the gift distribution was carried out at 35 locations across various regions of the country, with five additional grand mosques included to ensure wider geographic coverage and to bring joy to as many children as possible. Al Marzouqi emphasized that the children's enthusiastic response and visible happiness highlight the positive impact of such initiatives, particularly during seasons of devotion and giving. He affirmed that Eid Al Adha is a divinely ordained occasion for joy, compassion, sacrifice, and generosity, and a time to strengthen social bonds, one of the noble objectives of Islamic teachings. He also pointed out that distributing gifts is a tangible expression of appreciation for children and their families, and a practical embodiment of the core humanitarian values upheld by the endowment system. It reflects a continuous commitment to spreading happiness and joy, especially on religious occasions. The Family and Childhood Endowment Fund was established as a leading initiative to strengthen family ties and provide a safe, developmental environment for children through programs and projects aimed at instilling values and reinforcing ethical principles in younger generations. The Fund places special emphasis on the well-being of children, guided by the belief that nurturing the next generation is the cornerstone of building a healthy and prosperous society. Among its key objectives is instilling moral and educational values in children, and enhancing their sense of belonging and happiness, particularly during religious celebrations such as Eid Al Adha. In addition, the Fund supports families as the primary nurturing environment for children, working to strengthen family cohesion and provide assistance to underprivileged households, thereby helping create a safe and supportive environment for children's development.

Photos: Muslims around the world celebrate Eid al-Adha
Muslims around the globe are celebrating Eid al-Adha, one of the biggest holidays in the Islamic calendar that commemorates sacrifice and submission to God. The festival, running from June 6-9, honours the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to obey God's command that he sacrifice his only son Ismail, ignoring the devil's attempts to dissuade him from the act. The devil appeared before Ibrahim three times, but the prophet responded by throwing stones, driving him away. As he was about to kill his son, God stayed his hand and spared his son, giving him a lamb to sacrifice instead. The 'Feast of Sacrifice' is traditionally marked by the slaughter of an animal, typically a goat, sheep, cow, bull or camel, with the meat shared among neighbours, family members and the poor. The start of the event coincides with the final rites of the annual Hajj, the once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, observed by adult Muslims. In remembrance of Ibrahim's resistance to Satan, pilgrims at Hajj participate in a symbolic 'stoning of the devil' at the Jamarat complex in Mina, near Mecca. The stoning ritual takes place at the three spots where it is said the devil tried to dissuade Ibrahim from obeying God, represented by three concrete walls. Pilgrims collected their pebbles overnight on Thursday from Muzdalifah, an area located a few kilometres away from Arafat, a hill outside the city of Mecca with great spiritual significance. On Friday, an estimated 1.6 million-plus pilgrims stoned the devil, throwing their pebbles at the concrete walls in Mina. For some, the ritual marks a solemn moment – a complete submission to God. For others, it represents a victory over evil.
