A message to all muslims. The festival of sacrifice, Eid al Azha, is to teach the lesson of sacrifice where a believer keeps peace and brotherhood above everything, even if he needs to sacrifice his beloved animal which he brought up like his own child. Even if he has to buy an animal for sacrifice, the lesson of sharing a part of his hard earned wealth with others with only one motive, that is, to please his Creator, is also a sacrifice. We must remember to share the meat of sacrificed animal with others as mentioned in Quran and Hadiths. The meat must be divided into 3 parts of total quantity. 1 part goes to the poor or orphans who are not your relatives. Other 1 part goes to your relatives and friends and neighbours. The remaining 1 part is kept for yourself to feast and thank Allah subhanwataaala. Its a common error nowadays that people tend to keep the best part of the meat for themselves and keep the other less liked parts for others. This is wrong. Prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him ) has asked believers to wish the same good for his brother what he wishes for himself. Other than that, remember to stop people from clicking pics of Qurbani or making videos. Even if someone says that it will not be shared, remember that qurbani is not for show off. Its your offering to Allah to bring peace among his creation, and Allah knows what is in your heart. The lesson of qurbani gets wasted as soon as it is later used by some hateful organisations to spread hate and anger against Muslims and Islam. So, if you dont stop others from clicking pics and making videos of Qurbani, you will also be responsible for the murder of next Muslim by those hate mongering stupids who might use the pic or video shared by you to provoke more idiots. So beware and dont forget to read and tell others the story of Ibrahim alayh assalam and Ismail alayh assalam who offered themselves when Allah wanted to test their faiths. That story also tells us that Allah doesnt want us to do superstitious sacrifices by harming ourselves or by thinking that the meat and blood of the sacrificed animal reaches Allah in any way ,but its only our piety that reaches Allah. Quran [22 : 37] Share this with others, before any of our Muslim brothers and sisters fall into gunaah of shirk or bidat unknowingly.
