Sergeant Gurpreet Arora and Constable Satvir Sen representing New Police attended the Eid prayer on Monday, June 26, at Al-Mustafa Jamia Masjid in Otahuhu. Eid is the biggest festival of the Muslim community and New Zealand Police extended its warm wishes by sending officers to attend the big event.
“It was a great occasion with nearly 3000 men and women attending the prayer and the celebrations,” Sergeant Gurpreet Arora said.
The policemen were received with a warm welcome at the Masjid and the community members present regarded this visit a wonderful gesture of support from the New Zealand Police. The community interacted with both the officers as they exchanged pleasantries after the Eid Prayer.
“The Counties Manukau Police would like to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters in Counties Manukau as well as rest of the country, Eid Mubarak,” Sergeant Arora said conveying the message from the Counties Manukau Police.
Eid is an occasion of celebration and feast and Muslims on this day visit families and friends greeting the auspicious day. All the Islamic Centres in Auckland organised the Eid prayer for the Muslim community and a majority of them also hosted a small event at their venue so that families and visitors can have a great time at the venue.
The South Auckland Muslim Association under which comes the Jamia Masjid in Otahuhu is renowned to have hosted a number of community events throughout the year. SAMA hosts speakers from different Islamic centres from Islamic Centres around the globe, events to engage the community such as Iftar parties for Muslims and non-Muslims, Quran competition for children, Na'ath sessions, sports to engage the youth and last year it also hosted the first women’s hijab fashion walk and exhibition for the women.
“May the magic of this Eid bring lots of happiness in your life and may you celebrate it with you all your close family and friends and may it fill your heart with wonders,” Sergeant Arora added.
