27th October 2012 ( 10th Dhul Hajja 1433)
Wish you all a very happy and blessed Eid ul Adha, Eid which commemorates the sacrifice of Prophet Abraham/ Ibrahim (as) and his son Prophet Ishmael/ Ismaail (as).
Abraham (as) was commanded in dream to sacrifice his most beloved possession to God, after 3 successive dreams Abraham (as) shared his vision ( dream) with his only son Ishmael (as), latter approved the opinion and agreed to sacrifice his life as per wishes of God and convinced his father that he would remain patient.
On their way Satan appeared three times to Abraham (as) and tried to convince him not to sacrifice his only son which was born to him at age of 84 years, Abraham (as) as denial to Satan's advice threw pebbles at him to show his rejection towards Satan's advice. This is remembered to this day when Muslims who perform Hajj throw pebbles at pillars which marks the locations of Satan when he tried to tempt Abraham (as).
Abraham (as) reached the location tied a cloth strip on his eyes asked Ishmael (as) to lie and put his knife on his son's neck for slaughter, exactly when he was about to start Archangel Gabriel (as) appeared to him with a ram from paradise, declared to Abraham (as) that his intention to sacrifice his beloved was accepted by God an now God wants you to change Ishmael (as) with Ram, and made this a religious tradition. God declared Ram to be slaughtered on behalf of Ishmael (as) as in future Dibbe Azim ( great sacrifice) would be done by future generation, which was finally performed by grandson of Prophet Mohammed (saw) in the event of Karbala.
Wish you a very happy and blessed Eid Adha!
