Following the Eid prayer on the first day of Eid al-Adha, we start to offer a sacrifice – Udhiyyah/Layyah – to remember Prophet Ibrahim.
Verily, all praise is for Allah. We praise Him, we seek His assistance and we ask for His forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Him from the evils of ourselves. Whoever Allah guides, none can misguide. Whoever He misguides, none can guide. And I bear witness that there is no deity other than Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
Respected brothers and sisters, I feel there’s a deeper meaning in these acts of sacrifices; a meaning we can all adopt in our lives. My beloved people, sacrifice can take many forms; sometimes we might need to sacrifice our time, or our comfortable careers, or the place we grew up in. The sacrifice might impact us physically, or emotionally, or financially, and sometimes it impacts those closest to us.
As the celebration lasts for 3 days, if Eid-al Adha begins at sunset on Wednesday, 28th June, it will end on Saturday, 1st July 2023. We sincerely solicit for your kind and sincere contribution towards the Eid-Ul-Adha Udhiyyah/Layyah for our orphans and our students; and the development of our schools and Islamic Center financially, materially and morally.
