Message of Eid-ul-Azha
Muslims in the country are going to celebrate Eid-ul-Azha tomorrow, the second biggest festival in the Islamic calendar. It is an occasion for celebration as well as introspection, a solemn reminder of the supreme sacrifice of his beloved son that Prophet Ibrahim (AS) was ready make to honour the wishes of Allah. The unflinching degree of faith by surrendering to Allah and the patience that come with it was displayed by both the father and the son Ismail (AS). The rest is known to us all. The event is indeed a lesson that our life and earthly possessions are all subservient to striving in the path of the Almighty.
After all, the faith of a believer is ultimately tested by the degree of his loyalty to his Creator. The ultimate aim of the sacrifice of animals that Muslims make during Eid-ul-Azha is to please their Lord and to imbibe the spirit of love and giving among fellow human beings. It is for us to bear in mind the need of the poor, the destitute and the desperate.
The message of Eid-ul-Azha is even more relevant in the present world, which is marred by a lack of world order.
We are celebrating this Eid in the backdrop of a tragic accident in a Tongi factory that took the lives of 25 people. We pray for their souls as we do for the early recovery of the injured.
We wish all our readers, patrons and well wishers EID MUBARAK.
