About this listen

An excerpt from "Forgotten Objectives of Eid al-Adha" by Dr. Farida Khanam, explains the deeper, often overlooked meanings of Eid al-Adha, beyond its ritual animal sacrifice. It highlights that the festival, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, symbolizes spiritual growth, selflessness, and submission to God, drawing from the story of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice what he loved most. The text emphasizes that true sacrifice involves surrendering ego, pride, and selfishness, rather than merely performing the outward ritual. It also connects these themes to the Hajj pilgrimage and encourages Muslims to embody compassion and service to humanity. https://cpsglobal.org/articles/forgotten-objectives-of-eid-al-adha
