Every day of life begins with beautiful memories and ends with beautiful memories. Saturday, June 7, 2025 was also a beautiful day. When the morning dawned, animals were present in every Muslim home for sacrifice. I started my morning with the beautiful name of Allah Almighty and offered Fajr prayer. After offering Fajr prayer, I recited Surah Rahman and after reciting Surah Rahman, I walked for some time, but I had to go to the mosque around six in the morning because I had to offer Eid al-Adha prayers in the mosque at six. In this way, I walked for about five minutes and then went to take a bath and after getting ready and wearing new clothes, I left for the mosque. Upon reaching the mosque, I listened to the sermon of Imam Sahib. The topic of his sermon was what message the day of Eid al-Adha gives us. The topic was that the day of Eid al-Adha commands us to be patient and follow the commands of Allah Almighty and Eid al-Adha is the Sunnah of Allah's Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) and All the prophets that Allah sent to this world followed the Sunnah of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS). Similarly, we Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (PBUH), who is the last Prophet of Allah, now his Ummah is also following the Sunnah of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS). This Sunnah of Abraham also teaches us the lesson of harmony, love, and peace with each other. On this day, Muslims sacrifice their animals in the path of Allah, following the Sunnah of Abraham.
Similarly, we offered Eid prayers and after offering Eid prayers, I returned home and bathed our animal and put fodder in front of it and loved the animal and after some time the butcher also arrived then we sacrificed the animal in the way of Allah with great love and affection. This sacrifice was not for show, nor was it pride and arrogance, rather this sacrifice was humility before Allah that O Allah, You are the greatest, You are the owner and creator of all creation and we are in need of You, so protect us from every sorrow and every pain and this prayer was in our hearts that Allah should make this whole world a cradle of peace and love among human beings. Every human being, no matter what religion he belongs to, should think that he loves all the human beings in this world and we should spread the message of peace everywhere and if there is a poor, needy person around us or if there is someone weak in any way, physically or in terms of health, then we should have this feeling within us to help them. This is what the day of sacrifice teaches us. We should not be divided on the basis of family or religion. We should not hate each other on the basis of ideology or beliefs, but rather we should respect each other. We should live with love and affection for each other so that this society remains a haven of peace. We also prayed that Allah Almighty would end the problems of the people of Palestine and Gaza. We should spread the message of peace everywhere and build such a chain of peace so that all human beings are tied in the rope of love in this chain, bound in the chains of love, and no place for hatred or contempt should remain in this chain anywhere, anywhere, let there be only love and harmony, let there be thoughts of establishing peace, and this is the message that Eid also gives us.
After distributing the meat, we made a dry curry of our share of meat. We put five kilos of meat in a large frying pan and then roasted it well. We only added salt to the meat and did not add any other ingredients because the meat had its own fat and we roasted the meat well in its own fat because the meat was from a large animal. It took about 45 minutes to roast it. Then the whole family sat together and ate the meat and thanked Allah Almighty for providing us with such a beautiful and delicious meal on the day of Eid. There are many people who go to bed hungry even on the day of Eid due to the lack of meat. There are also many people who are sick and it is forbidden for them to eat meat. So we ate roasted meat on the day of Eid, which was very delicious. I thanked Allah that Allah has blessed us with His blessings and I prayed that O Allah, grant every person His blessings. Please give us food to fill our stomachs, but I want to write here that there are many of us who sacrifice but do not distribute the meat to the poor, so we should go to every house that is in need on the day of Eid al-Adha and deliver meat so that they too can eat meat on the day of Eid. The purpose of my article today is not to show you pictures, but to convey the message that the day of Eid commands us to make all kinds of sacrifices. We have to live with love and affection towards people. We have to stop ourselves from oppression and cruelty. We have to talk about justice. We have to help the oppressed. We have to be a support for the helpless. And we have to sacrifice every struggle that makes this world beautiful, a cradle of peace, a place of justice, and a place of love and affection.
You can see in the picture above how I was frying the meat and I was also frying the meat and thanking Allah.
Eid is a day of joy and then we all sat together as a family and had a meal. After that, we went to the houses of our relatives and friends and shared our situation with them. In this way, we met our relatives and friends and there were many friends who had not come to the village for many years. We also met them through Eid. In this way, the first day of Eid was very happy. It was very beautiful. We spent time with friends and relatives and shared meat in this way. But every Eid day also brings us many lessons and incidents. We should always live a life of humility. We should not show off. We should not show off that we have a lot of wealth or that we are eating good food. Rather, there should always be humility in our hearts. They should be all together. And Eid brings this message to us. Eids bring this message to people that if any of you is weak or poor, take care of him too. Include him in the happiness. Give him meat on the day of sacrifice so that he can be happy. Can also eat good food with their children
I would also like to write here that those who show off, those who sacrifice big animals in the way of Allah so that people will praise them. If they sacrifice big animals to show off, to show people the influence of their wealth, then their sacrifice is never accepted in the way of Allah. Rather, we sacrifice only for Allah, for the pleasure of Allah, and we do it so that Allah may be pleased with us because we are following the command of Allah. So those who sacrifice to show off to other people, their sacrifice is never accepted. Therefore, whenever we take an animal for sacrifice, we should not show off about it, but be humble. Decide in our hearts that what I am sacrificing is only for the pleasure of Allah and may Allah be pleased with me. If we have compassion within us, we will be successful because arrogance never makes a person successful. Always be humble, be good, be kind, benevolent, cooperate with each other, think of peace, be with the oppressed. This is the character that makes a person successful.
Now I want to show you some pictures. These are the pictures of the food I made on the first day of Eid. These are the pictures of salty meat. As I wrote above, I have not added anything to this meat. It is only the meat of a large animal. It is halal meat. I have put it in a large pot, which we call a frying pan. Then I have added salt to taste. There are no other ingredients in it. It is just meat and salt. It took 45 minutes to prepare and it is a very delicious meat. So I thought I would share these pictures with you. But this does not mean that I am being arrogant, I am being arrogant and showing you that I am eating this food. Rather, I am sharing these pictures with all my brothers and sisters that we made this meat on the day of Eid and all of us as a family ate it.
Just as it is said that every step in life takes a person somewhere, when a person takes a step, that step must be towards a destination. If our destinations are good, we will become people with good character. If our steps move towards evil, we will become cruel and arrogant people. So remember, always consider this before taking a step and think whether this step we are taking is taking us towards that destination which is goodness, the destination of goodness, the destination leading to success, or whether this step we are taking will take us to the destination, but that destination will be the destination of evil, the destination of darkness, motivation and ignorance. So we have to think about this in advance because when we intend goodness in our hearts, we intend goodness, we will intend goodness towards people with weakness and humility, and we will intend to go towards such a destination which is a destination of success, but in this success, the people and society will also be involved. Well, we will achieve that goal only when our thinking is such that when we take the first step, our thinking works as to what purpose we are taking this step for. Therefore, whenever we wake up in the morning, take our first step towards goodness. Lead yourself towards goodness. And when your thinking is good, one day or another, you will definitely get success for goodness. Therefore, whenever you take a step, take it thoughtfully and take a step towards goodness. Humans make mistakes. Humans can make mistakes, but if you understand your mistake and correct it, you will be a successful person. If you persist in your mistake, you will move towards failure. No matter how wise, intelligent and knowledgeable you are, thank you all very much for reading my article today. I am very grateful to you all.
