This is the first time such a greeting has been issued, reflecting New Zealand&#039;s openness to diverse cultures. Designed by Chris Jones, the card features four perforated stamps measuring 14.5 x 14.5 cm in denominations of NZ$1.5, 2.8, 3.6, and 6.5. The card itself measures 15 x 9 cm, and the stamps were issued in sheets of 25. Notably, each of the four stamps bears the phrase &quot;Eid Mubarak&quot; in a different Arabic script, designed by Pakistani calligrapher Muhammad Waqas and his wife, Samira Waqas.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"279379\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/278573779_10158450077981269_7703966455960805564_n-1024x1024-Small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/278573779_10158450077981269_7703966455960805564_n-1024x1024-Small-100x100.jpg.webp 100w, https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/278573779_10158450077981269_7703966455960805564_n-1024x1024-Small.jpg.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"279382\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/278609188_10158450080261269_6143070236378922803_n-Small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/278609188_10158450080261269_6143070236378922803_n-Small-100x100.jpg.webp 100w, https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/278609188_10158450080261269_6143070236378922803_n-Small.jpg.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"279381\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/279086265_10158450079261269_4081816331880887871_n-1280x768-Small.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday souvenir card\" class=\"wp-image-279381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/279086265_10158450079261269_4081816331880887871_n-1280x768-Small-768x461.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/279086265_10158450079261269_4081816331880887871_n-1280x768-Small.jpg.webp 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p>NZ Post&#039;s latest stamp release not only celebrates Eid al-Fitr, the world&#039;s most popular Muslim festival but acknowledges Aotearoa New Zealand&#039;s diverse communities.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring Arabic calligraphy over the silhouette of a mosque, as well as the Islamic year 1443 AH, the stamps celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
