Eid al-Adha

At a time when human sacrifice to idols and deities was widespread, Allah instructed Abraham to perform a symbolic act: he was commanded to enact the sacrifice of his son. But then, Allah sent a ram and told Abraham to inform the people that from now on, instead of killing humans, they may offer a sheep to Allah. In this way, the sin of taking a life would be avoided, and the poor would be fed.

Let it be known: the purpose of sacrifice is not to shed blood to please Allah, but to care for those in need. A sacrifice is only accepted by Allah when the poor are nourished — not when an animal is killed and buried without purpose.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak to all!
We joyfully celebrated this occasion with our community, honoring its true spirit through giving and togetherness.
