Congratulations and best wishes to all Muslims and all members of the Islamic brotherhood in The Gambia, on this great feast of Tobaski.

Your devotion to family life, to family prayer, to discipline, to the care of the sick and elderly, and your support for one another is unique.

The courtesy, the kindness, the welcome and the charity of Muslims is not found anywhere else in the world.

We again wish you every happiness on your feast day and we will join with you in your celebrations. Inshallah.
