Eid ul Adha Mubarak to all my beautiful readers
Eid ul Adha is not just about new clothes, food, gatherings, or celebrations. It is about love for Allah. Trust in Allah. Submission to Allah.
This Eid reminds us of the beautiful sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). When Allah tested him with the thing he loved the most — his son, Prophet Ismail (AS) — he still chose Allah above everything. And Prophet Ismail (AS) himself submitted to Allah’s command with patience and faith. Imagine that level of iman… that level of trust… that level of love for Allah سبحانه وتعالى.
And when they both proved their obedience, Allah replaced the sacrifice with a ram and honored them forever.
That is what Eid ul Adha teaches us:
Sometimes loving Allah means sacrificing our ego, our sins, our wrong habits, our unhealthy attachments, our anger, our pride, and even the things we desperately want.
Real sacrifice is not only of animals.
Sometimes the hardest qurbani is sacrificing what your heart secretly holds onto.
This dunya is temporary.
People change.
Situations change.
But Allah never leaves.
Allah says:
“Indeed, with hardship comes ease.”
So on this Eid, pray deeply.
Forgive people.
Hug your parents.
Spend time with your family.
Feed others.
Remember Palestine in your duas.
Remember those who are celebrating Eid with pain in their hearts.
And most importantly — remember Allah in happiness the same way you remember Him in sadness.
Enjoy your Eid, eat lots of biryani, annoy your siblings, take pictures, rest well, and please remember me in your prayers too
