Like previous years, this year also Eid-ul-adha would be celebrated with zeal and fervor but pragmatically the real purpose of sacrificing animals could not be understood and confined to sacrificing animals only although it demands more than sacrificing animals. To replicate what was done by Hazarat Ibrahim A.S, it is obligatory for those Muslims who are well off and can afford to buy an animal for sacrifice. The real purpose to sacrifice animals is required to be comprehended; to sacrifice the most loved stuff for the curryfavour of Allah Almighty to become the loved one and get close to Him.<\/p>\n
Allah Almighty has given a son to Hazarat Ibrahim A.S at an old age and when it was realized that Hazarat Ibrahim A.S had started loving his son desperately, an instruction was descended in a dream to Hazarat Ibrahim A.S that Allah Almighty desired Hazarat Ibrahim A.S to sacrifice his most loving son. Hazarat Ibrahim A.S mentioned his dream with his son who most obediently not only got ready for materialization of the dream but also bravely requested his father to tie him tightly at the time of slaughtering and lay him down and put a bandage on his eyes so that he could not shiver at the time of slaughtering as relation of father and son might hinder his father from the accomplishment of this task. Such example is not found in history of the universe which is also stated in the Quran that it was really a tough test in which both father and son succeeded.<\/p>\n
It is rightly said that Allah Almighty ask for test but do not take test and the same was happened when Hazarat Ibrahim A.S was all set to slaughter his loving son. How would be the feeling of both Hazarat Ibrahim A.S and his son and above all his mother who got her son prepared by wearing him nice clothes. The angles on the sky started crying that what was going to happen but the most kind Allah had decided something else and at the eleventh hour and just before slaughtering Allah had sent a sheep and the angle put that sheep in place of Hazarat Ismail A.S and when Hazarat Ibrahim A.S slaughtered his son with full force (it is said that an apostle possess power of equal to 40 men) who had in his mind that his son would have been slaughtered but upon opening his eyes he saw his son was perfectly alright while a sheep was slaughtered.<\/p>\n
Just imagine what would have happened if Muslims would ask to slaughter their sons every year but Allah Almighty wants to see that who are obedient and who are not by taking such test. The sole purpose of sacrificing animals is to seek curryfavour of Allah Almighty and not only sacrificing animals but to sacrifice grudges, back butting, lies, bad deeds, corruption, dishonesty, teasing human beings and every living creature, disconnecting with siblings, relatives and friends on pity issues and every bad deed. Treating all of humanity with kind and regard and leaving racism because with all such bad deeds, no one can seek the curryfavour of Allah Almighty nor can even come close to Him.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately sacrificing animals, itself cause great inconvenience to many people though we live in an Islamic country like there are usually no proper places where sacrificing animals can be kept and as a result, such animals are wrapped in the streets which are normally closed for passers-by. What happens when animals are kept outsides houses where human beings live that how untidy the streets become which create unhygienic conditions in the area. First three of days of Eid-ul-adha present worst unhygienic conditions and overall sacrificing animals itself becomes problematic for all. It is the prime responsibility of the government to reserve some places in every area where residents could keep and sacrifice their animals so that our sacrificing would not remain teasing for anyone and it becomes secondary responsibility of the inhabitants of the country that until and unless government do not provide separate places for keeping and sacrificing animals, they should manage to sacrifice their animals at one place such as a ground which can be cleaned and consequently streets would remain tidy. <\/p>\n
So, the message of Eid-ul-adha is to sacrifice not only animals but to sacrifice all bad deeds and avoid to tease anyone as it is unlawful to tease any Muslim so that we could achieve the pragmatic purpose of Eid-ul-adha. Let\u2019s intend to celebrate Eid-ul-adha this time in this manner which is the message of Eid-ul-adha as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
