HAPPY EID-UL-AZHIYYAH  MUBARIK

 

 AAMDAN-E-EID MMUBARAK BADAT!!

 

 

EID-UL-AZHIYYAH------EID OF SACRIFICES

 

 Why we celebrate this Eid ? REALITY, LESSONS?

 

Dear Ahmadi brothers and sisters,Assalom wa.Rahmatullahe wa barakatuhu 31st December , 2006 is the day of Eid-ul-Azhiyyah [Eid of sacrifices] in Canada.

 

On this happy and auspicious occasion I offer all of you a HAPPY EID MMUBARAK in the revealed words of the holy Promised Messiah, "AMDAD-E-EID MUBARAK BADAT"

 

 It means THAT coming of Eid may be blessed and congratulated to you .

 

This is the second Eid of the year, which we Muslims celebrate all over the world.

 

But the question arises why we celebrate this Eid of sacrifice?

 

Do we celebrate this Eid only to commemorate and remember the sacrifice of Hazrat Abraham and his son Ishmail?

 

Abraham offered his one son in sacrifice while the holy Prophet Muhammad [peace be on Him] offered hundreds of his sons in sacrifice. Why should we not remember the holy Prophet'srifice?

 

And what need lies in commemorating and remembering a sacrifice of more than three thousand years ago ?

 

Do we celebrate this Eid that Abraham’s feet were not shaken and he was prepared to offer the sacrifice of his son? We cannot think so about Abraham as he was of a strong faith.

 

Do we celebrate this Eid that Ishmail was not killed and he was saved from being killed? Such kind of thinking is also absurd as Ismail was also of a strong faith and he himself agreed for the sacrifice.

 

So we have to think why we celebrate this Eid?

 

For the answer of all the above mentioned questions, Hazrat aqdas Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad,khalifa-tul-Masih-us-Sani and Musleh-e-Maud in one of his faith–enhancing Eid sermon replied that when we see the holy Bible there we find a glade tidings, and a great prophecy which God had given to Abraham, in the words,

 

" O, Abraham you have offered a great sacrifice.You have offered thine ONLY SON [Ismael]! In reward of this great sacrifice I shall spread your progeny in such a way that the stars of the sky could be counted but your progeny could l not be counted !! [Genesis 16:3]

 

More than three thousand years before nobody could imagine that Abraham who had a few family members and who had a few camels could spread in such a way that stars of the sky could be counted but his progeny will not be not be counted !!

 

But our God Almighty fulfilled this great prophecy miraculously!

 

Spreading of Abraham’s progeny was ordained with the advent of the holy prophet Muhammad [Peace be on Him].

 

When the holy prophet came through Him Abraham’s progeny spread by leaps and bounds in all the corners of the Earth. People belonging to other religions joined in the fold of Islam and became the spiritual sons of Abraham in hundred thousands numbers all over the world. Abraham’s progeny has spread in such a way in all corners of the Earth that according to the prophecy stars of the sky can be counted but Abraham’s progeny cannot be counted !!

 

THE ACTUAL SACFICE SACRIFICE

 

________________________________

 

The real and actual great sacrfice in the the deam of Abraham was intended to re-establish and rehablitate the eternal, universal sacred Barron, and  forsakenl Place,House of Allah in Mecca which was at that time forsaken and barren. In the vecinity of Meccaa lies the hillock place of Marwah.[which is misspelled and pronounced in Bible as Moriah.[Genesis 22:2]

 

There in the vecinity of Mecca in the barren land and hillock place of Marwah Abraham left his beloved child Ishmael with his mother Hjar and offered a great sacrice ! Al-mighty Alallah accepted this unique sacrifice of Abraham and multiplied his progeny in such a way that the stars of the sky can be counted but the pogeny of Abraham can not be counted according the prophecy !!

 

Hazrat Aqdas Musleh-e-Maud [May Allah be pleased with Him] Elucdating this new faith enhancing idea, said that the glade tidings and the great prophecy which was given to Abraham was actually a great Muhammadi prophecy!!  Which was fulfilled by the advent of the holy prophet Muhammad [peace be on Him]!

 

So when we celebrate this Eid of sacrifices we declare that the great prophecy, which was given to Abraham in totally odd circumstances, is fulfilled like a shining star even more like the broad daylight!!

 

So we are happy that the prophecy of our God is fulfilled extaordinarily and miraculously!!

 

So we celebrate this happy "Eid-ulAzhiyya" in thanksgiving to God Almighty that by fulfilling this great prophecy He has shown a great sign!!

 

Addressing the mammoth Ahmadiyya gathering on Eid-ul-Azhiyyah at Qadian,Hazrat aqdas Musleh-e-Maud [May Allah be pleased with him] said that the holy Promised Messiah and Mahdi has also been named Abraham in one of his revelations. So it is our duty to spread the progeny of Abraham all over the world in all the corners of the Earth. All people belonging to all religions,cultures,colours should join into the fold of Islam and come under the banner of Islam and under the feet of the holy prophet Muhammad [peace be on Him] and become united in one “Ummat-e-M uhammadiyyah” !!

 

And there will be the NEW WORLD ORDER OF THE DAY, ONE GOD, ONE RELIGION AND ONE HUMANITY!!

 

LESSONS

 _______________

 

For that noble world-wide spiritual revolution we have to offer great sacrifices like Abraham, like Ismail and like Hajrah !! May Allah help us to do such kind of sacrifices .

 

If we do that kind of glorious sacrifices then and there our Eid-ul-Zhiyyah will be the real Eid .

 

May Allah grant and bless us such kind of real Eid !! Amin

 

HAPPY EID TO ALL!!

Eid congratulations to all !!
