Sacrifice is a benevolent sign from Almighty Allah.
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami central executive council member & Dhaka City North unit’s Ameer Mohammad Selim Uddin and central working committee member and secretary Dr Muhammad Rezaul Karim urge the city dwellers to work together inspired by the spirit of Eid al-Adha. Two Jamaat leaders also call upon the city residents to use the actual lesson of this Eid in every sphere of life to establish a society based on justice.
They greet the city dwellers on the eve of Eid al-Adha, saying ‘Eid Mubarak’ to everyone.
Eid al-Adha is a significant day for Muslim Ummah (nation). The Jamaat leaders note that Hazrat Ibrahim (AS)’s unique act of sacrificing his dearest possession for Allah’s satisfaction will forever serve as an example to be imitated and followed.
In their message, they add, “Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) has set an incomparable example of love, obedience, and sacrifice to Almighty Allah by taking steps to sacrifice his beloved son Hazrat Ismail (AS) upon Allah’s directive.”
Following the ideals of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS), Muslims across the globe have been observing the day. Sacrifice kills the inner beast of human being.
Then, they add the verse of holy Quran in which Allah says, “Neither their flesh reaches Allah nor their blood; it is your piety that reaches Him.73 He has subjected these animals (to you) that you may magnify Allah for the guidance He has bestowed upon you. Give glad tidings,74 (O Prophet), to those who do good.”
They urge all to work together for the sake of humanity.
The real lesson of Eid al-Adha is to gain victory over animal instincts by imposing control over worldly greed and desire. The purpose of the holy Eid al-Adha is to achieve the true welfare of mankind by stopping injustice, falsehood, lawlessness, violence, hatred, oppression, torture, discord, controversy and establishing overall peace in the society as well as the state. Sacrifice is a benevolent sign from Almighty Allah.
The nation is going to celebrate the Eid when a silent famine is going on. Public sufferings are up due to price hike. Ruling party’s misrule, corruption, looting have destroyed all institutions of the state. They have destroyed democracy and democratic institutions of the country. Now, the country is a land of criminals.
They further urge the countrymen to be united inspired by the spirit of Eid al-Adha.
