Many, many years ago on this exact day, Prophet Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son Eshmael by God, as a test of faith in Him. And he willingly obliged as he had total faith in his Creator.
The rest is history that was nothing short of a great MIRACLE.
And today, Muslims all over the world celebrate the Eid ul Adha festival to commemorate the sacrifice of Abraham in the name of God.
In this regard, how many of us are willing to do what Abraham has done, i.e. sacrificing something/someone that is soo precious and dear to him just because Allah told him so?
He did, and for that he was greatly rewarded.
Yup, folks; Hari Raya Korban is not merely about slaughtering livestock and giving the meat to the poor. It is definitely MORE than that.
For me, the lesson that I've personally learned from Eid ul Adha is that, if you are willing to sacrifice something dengan seikhlas hati and with total faith that God will take care of you, insya-Allah, you will be repaid with great rewards that you could have never imagined at the first place.
Do your best, do the right thing (no matter how painful it is at that particular point of time) and have faith in HIM.
Believe me, you will finally see the light at the end of the seemingly endless tunnel.
Happy Eid ul Adha, dear friends. May this special day reminds us the true meaning of iman (faith) and pengorbanan (sacrifice).
God bless us all!
Tuhanku,
ku tahu diriku tidak sempurna
namun Kau tahu
hati ini sentiasa mengingatiMu;
yang ku pinta hanyalah
agar Kau merahmati
diri ini
dan
mereka yang kukasihi.
Amin.
xoxo
