Sacrifice

I questioned a wise man why Allah asked Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to sacrifice his beloved son, Ismail (peace be upon him). He replied that Allah just wanted to see and show the nations to come later how much Ibrahim loved His Lord. He proved his love for Allah by preferring His order to everything including his beloved son. Allah already knew how much Ibrahim loved Him, but by putting such condition, He the Almighty wanted to reveal it on everyone.If there was no such condition in love, every by-passer, who is influenced by your beauty or anything for awhile, could claim love. It's, therefore, said that when you claim love for Allah and His Prophet (peace be upon him), get yourself ready to face stern trials so that the true and false lover may be distinguished. The wise claim themselves servant of Allah the Almighty and His Prophet (peace be upon him) rather than lovers.On the eve of Eid Ul Adha, we inculcate the lesson of sacrifice as to how it helps to build up a strong relation with a person you love most. The life is full of sacrifices for the loving one. There are many forms of sacrifices such as times, addictions, money, jobs, etc. Hence, on this occasion, I pray to Allah the Almighty that all our sacrifices, we've made for seeking His pleasure, may be accepted. Ameen!

Kiya haal hain Arif Saeed janab? yei hamari lyei hain. This test is for us. Prophets have their immunity or sacredness. Look at Prophet Yousif and his trial with the wife of Alaziz, Prophet Younus with his nation and the whale and the master of mankind, Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with his people. This trial of sacrifice is for us. Can we love Allah more than our sons? It's a test for us, the believers. Nice topic Mr. Saeed.
