EID.

Peace be upon you!
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE OBJECTIVE OF EID. SACRIFICES ON EID-DAY
SYMBOLICALLY REMIND OBEDIENCE TO GOD.
About the symbolic sacrificial permitted animals God says:
< Their flesh reaches not Allah, nor does their blood, but it is your
righteousness that reaches Him. Thus has He subjected them to you, that
you may glorify Allah for His guiding you. And give glad tidings to
those who do good.> Quraan ch-22, v-38
By the grace of God, came again the Eid al-adha ( Eid at morning bright
sunshine). On this day, the sacrifice of holy Ibrahim and his son holy
Ismael is remembered ; they served God with life, defeating fear and
went through hunger and thirst.
When we hear about their great sacrifices, it creates in our hearts a
lot of emotions. But, do we remember these lessons when we go out of
place of prayer?
Are the objectives of Eid met by mere offering of sacrifice of animals
on this day?
