A Spiritual Story to Inspire Your Eid Al Adha

Let us remind ourselves about the great story of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his son Ismail (AS). When Allah ﷻ instructed Ibrahim (AS) that he will sacrifice his beloved son, Ibrahim (AS) obeyed, without hesitating, this is من الايمان. When Ibrahim (AS) was about to fulfill the command, Allah ﷻ substituted the son with a ram; the true lesson is not the slaughter itself, but the faith and trust in Allah ﷻ.

When we remember that the message of Eid Al Adha is not about the slaughter of animals, but more about slaughtering our ego, selfishness, and doubts. Eid reminds us in our faith we must put our trust in Allah ﷻ even when the sky seems to be falling.
