Eid ul Adha is a significant festival

 


Eid ul Adha is a significant festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide, regardless of their country, town, or caste. On this day, Muslims don new clothes, wear perfume, and take a bath, all with the intention of seeking Allah's love and following the Sunnah (teachings) of Prophet Ibrahim. The story behind Eid ul Adha dates back to Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his beloved son, Ismael, in obedience to Allah's command. However, Satan repeatedly tried to deviate Ibrahim from his path. The Holy Quran emphasizes that Satan is an avowed enemy of humanity. To prevent any distractions, Ibrahim blindfolded himself and prepared to sacrifice his son. In a remarkable turn of events, Allah replaced Ismael with a ram at the last moment, rewarding Ibrahim's unwavering faith and obedience. Ibrahim earned the title of Khalillullah, meaning "Friend of God."


From that moment onwards, the celebration of Eid ul Adha, also known as the "Day of Sacrifice" or "Yamul Nahr," began. Today, Muslims worldwide continue this tradition by sacrificing animals such as cows, goats, buffaloes, sheep, camels, and rams. This act symbolizes their willingness to please Allah and emulate the actions of their beloved Prophet. On this blessed day, Muslims dress in white and colorful attire and gather to offer prayers and perform the ritual sacrifice. They then distribute a portion of the meat to their families, friends, and the less fortunate, including the poor and orphans. This sharing of meat fosters a sense of community and allows everyone to partake in the joyous occasion.


Eid ul Adha is a time of spiritual reflection, gratitude, and unity. Muslims around the world come together to commemorate the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim and reinforce their commitment to Allah. By following his example, they demonstrate their unwavering faith and obedience, seeking Allah's pleasure and expecting great rewards.

The people of the Cave

  .By:khadija Amjad The People of the Cave, or "Kahf" in Arabic, is a story from the Quran about a group of young men who sought refuge in a cave to escape persecution from the Romans. According to the Quran, these men were among the early followers of Prophet Jesus While some variations exist, the genera l account suggests that these men slept in the cave for over 300 years. During their slumber, the sun shone upon them in a way that made it appear as if they were still alive, and their dog guarded the entrance to prevent anyone from entering.
