Eid-Ul-Adha Mubarak My Dear Brothers and Sisters
27th / 28th November 2009
Eid- ul- Adha is one of the most importan Islamic Holiday of the year.
Eid-ul-Adha marks the end of Hajj, the sacred Pilgramige to the holy city of Mecca. The hajj to Mecca is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation upon male and female adults whose health and means permit it, or, in the words of the Qur'an, upon "those who can make their way there."
Muslims all around the world celerate Eid, though nowadays on Eid friends and family get together to celebrate, the true meaning behind the occasion has not been forgotten.
The history of Eid-ul-Adha, states that Abraham was instructed by Allah, in a dream, to raise the foundations of Kaaba,the most sacred shrine in Mecca. Muslims believe that even after undergoing a lot of trials and tribulations on his way to Mecca, God revealed in a dream to Abraham to sacrifice his son Isma'il. Abrahim and Isma'il set off to Mina for the sacrifice. As they went, the devil attempted to lead Abraham astray by disobeying God and not to sacrifice his beloved son. But Abraham remained unfaltered in his decision and true to God, and drove the devil away. As Abraham prepared to kill his son, God stopped him and gave him a sheep to sacrifice instead.
Eid-ul-Adha commemorates Prophet Abraham's unselfish act of sacrificing(Qurbani) his own son to the One God, Allah. The festival reminds everyone of the mercy and benefits bestowed upon mankind by Allah.
My good wishes to all my dear muslim brothers and sisters
May the blessings of Allah be with you
and may you all be blessed with happiness.
