Srinagar, Aug 21: Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Mehmood Shah has extended Eid greetings to Muslims saying the idea of Eid-ul-Adha is to sacrifice the most valuable belonging one has for Allah.
“Hazrat Ibraheem (AS) was tested when he was ordered to sacrifice his beloved son Ismail (AS). They both passed the test. Allah (SWT) was pleased with them and sent a sheep from the heavens to be sacrificed instead of Ismail (AS). Allah (SWT) liked their act so much that He ordered all the believers to follow the Sunnah of Ibrahim (AS) by sacrificing animals on the eve of Eid-ul-Adha,” LeT spokesperson Dr Abdullah Ghaznavi said in a statement issued to GNS.
“Today, the Muslims are in oppression. To get rid of the crisis, we need to sacrifice our wishes and ego. We have to obey Allah (SWT) the way Ibrahim (AS) and Ismail (AS) obeyed. Allah (SWT) sees the hearts of the believers that how much they love their Lord, and what they can do for Him. He (SWT) checks how much the Muslims follow the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Islam is a complete code of conduct, and a believer is supposed to follow Islam in all aspects of life. This is how we can please the Lord of the Universe.”
Mehmood Shah added, “Another message of Eid-ul-Adha is to be gentle towards others. So, be generous towards the families of the martyrs. Similarly, remember those who are in prisons.” (GNS)
