History of Eid-ul-Adha.
The rituals of Hajj are performed before Eid-ul-Huda. Allah has made Hajj obligatory for every rich Muslim once in a lifetime.
All the duties of Hajj remind us of the sacrifice of the companions of Hazrat Ibrahim (as). All his rites and duties are the same as those he went through in his life.
Just as Hazrat (as), seeing the intensity of Ishmael's thirst, had made seven rounds in search of water between Safa and Marwah.
God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his dearest thing. Which was his beloved son Hazrat Ismail (as).
And when Abraham (as) mentioned this command of God to Ishmael, he agreed to sacrifice himself in the way of God.
Abraham took his beloved son to the altar. On the way, Satan tried to seduce Ishmael (as) and persuaded him to give up this sacrifice.
Ishmael (as) told this to his father Abraham(as). Abraham (peace be upon him) told Ishmael (as) not to be deceived by Satan and throw stones at him.
When the two reached the altar, Abraham(as) said to his son, "I do not dare to turn the knife on your throat."
When the two reached the altar, Abraham(as) said to his son, "I do not dare to turn the knife on your throat."
And when the knife began to move, the sound came! O Ibrahim (as), you have passed your test.
And the angel brought a sheep to Hazrat Ibrahim (as). And Hazrat Ibrahim (as) sacrificed this sheep. To commemorate this sacrifice, Muslims sacrifice animals every year.
It is the philosophy of this Eid that Allah loves Hazrat Ibrahim (as) and his companions so much that it is obligatory on all Muslims till the Day of Judgment.
This is the philosophy of this Eid
