Slicing Through the Ego: The Internal Qurbani:

- # Beyond the Sacrifice: What is Your "Ismail" This Eid ul Adha? 🌙 **Eid Mubarak!** 🌙 Every year, as the global Muslim community gathers to celebrate Eid ul Adha, our focus naturally turns to the tradition of *Qurbani* (sacrifice). We prepare the animals, distribute the meat, and share meals with family and neighbors. But if we pause and look past the physical rituals, a profound spiritual question emerges. **Eid ul Adha is not just about sacrificing an animal. It is about sacrificing whatever stands between you and Allah.** ## The True Essence of Qurbani: Trust Over Fear When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) left his wife, Hajara (AS), and their infant son in the barren desert of Makkah, he didn’t leave them in fear—he left them in absolute, unwavering trust of Allah. And years later, when he raised the knife above his beloved son, Ismail (AS), it wasn't an act of cruelty. It was the ultimate demonstration of submitting his will to the Divine. > **The realization:** The knife...

The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon):

- The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon) Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered His ﷺ last sermon (Khutbah) on the ninth of Dhul Hijjah (12th and last month of the Islamic year), 10 years after Hijrah (migration from Makkah to Madinah) in the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat. His ﷺ words were quite clear and concise and were directed to the entire humanity. After praising, and thanking Allah He ﷺ said: “O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds. AL...

Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone:

- Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone. - Taqwa, when it matures in the crucible of trial, is the precise and correct ordering of the loves within a heart. It is the absolute knowledge of which love sits upon the throne, and which loves, however deep, however true, however entirely lawful, must bow beneath it. - Tawakkul is the heart’s genuine reliance upon Allaah as the sole ultimate cause of all things, combined with the employment of every legitimate means. Islam teaches freedom from servitude to causes without teaching contempt for them. It is the settled condition of a heart that has understood that creation possesses only delegated force. What burns burns because it is permitted to burn; what heals heals because it is permitted to heal. No thing in creation holds or withholds what belongs solely to the Creator. - Hasbunallaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel. Allaah is sufficient for...

Rest all were razed to ground. • Below are the reasons for the destruction of other people: 1. Firawn and his people: Political power and riches made Firawn and his people go astray; they called Sayyiduna Musa (alaihissalam) sorcerer and insane (astaghfirullah). 2. The people of Aad had forgotten Allah, and rather than thanking Allah for the...

What kind of calamity have you encountered that made you sad and live in misery?

* If you read the below incidence from sahaba's life. You will analyse how much nyamate from Allah we are enjoying: Arwah bin al-Zubayr's leg was cut off because of a disease he suffered, on the same day the dearest of his seven sons died. ¤ The dearest son to his heart died after a horse kick killed him. Arwah said: "Allahumma lakal hamd, Inna lilLahi wa inna Ilaihi raaji'un." [ Ya Allah! All thanks to You, we are from Allah and to Him is our return ] You gave me 7 sons and took one, gave me two legs & two hands but took only one leg. When Allah (SwT) besets calamities on us, He compensates us always by forgiving most of our transgressions. When He takes away something, He always gives back better things. I ask Allah (SwT) to join all true Ummah of Rasool [SAW] together in Jannah. Days passed, on one ultimate day Arwah went to the house of the Khalifa of the time where he saw a blind old Sheikh with a damaged face. ¤ The Khalifa said: "Oh Arwah ask thi...

It is being said that they will not accept Islam even if they’ll be shown the dead being raised from their graves. • To the Makkan polytheists’ demand to show a miracle, Allah says, was a mere obstinacy and stubbornness. • Allah advised Prophet Muhammed ﷺ to carry on his propagation, without minding the refusal and opposition of the disbelievers. • Then it is being said that majority of humanity has been on the wrong path (in disbelief) in every era, as it gives them instant enjoyment. Hence numbers is not an accurate parameter to opt for belief or disbelief (Imaan or Kufr). (Today the Western form of democracy too believes in the stance of the majority, not that of the Divine). • Verse 125 of Surah An’aam says that Allah gives guidance to those whomsoever He Wills, and tightens the chest of those who He doesn’t w...
