The tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, which is the day on which pilgrims sacrifice a sacrificial animal, and therefore it is called Eid al-Adha, and fasting is forbidden on this day. (jurisprudence)
Allah says
“فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَى قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاء اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَنْ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلاء الْمُبِينُ وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الآخِرِينَ سَلامٌ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
“When he reached the end of the seeking with him, he said, ‘O my son, I see in a dream that I am slaughtering you, so look what you see. He said, “O my father, do what you are commanded, You will find me, God willing, among those who are patient. When they submitted, and He give Him his forehead, and We called him, “O Abraham: You have come true the vision, so do I. We recompense benefactors, Indeed, this is the clear affliction, We ransomed him with a great sacrifice and left him with good praise from others, Peace be upon Abraham. Thus do We reward the benefactors, Indeed, he is one of Our faithful servants.
Are you a father? Do you have children or young people? If they were children and they went with you on a long walk on a hot day, what would they say to you? If you are walking and not riding, we are tired - can we ride - when is the end of the walk? is not it ? This is the nature of children, but young people have another nature, a bold nature - a love of life and activity, a love of being close to the father if he has moral character and mercy towards them while they are children, They love to walk with him, they love to talk to him, and to go out alone with their parents. the nature of parents and their young male children, especially those whose nature has not relapsed, is the nature of friendship and attachment, the whole matter is in attachment, so when God Almighty mentions (when he reached the point of striving with him), he does not mean words and the matter is over, but rather he means attachment, and how do you know what attachment is? It is the fruit of a healthy life, When a father sees his son, he is no longer dependent on him, but he is independent, but despite that, he is like his father. He loves working with him, going out with him, and seeking with him, and look at these tender expressions that almost drip with blood.
He said, “My son, I see in a dream that I am slaughtering you.” Why did he not call him by his name? Ismail, I saw in a dream that I was slaughtering you? Why didn't he tell him, son, I saw such and such? Rather, he started, son, because he is young and perhaps he believes that his father does not love him through this story, so he started with the father’s tenderness so that doubt would not enter his heart in the first place, off course Allah know the best.
And look at what the bereaved father said (so look what you see). Can you imagine saying something like this to your son? If you told him, do you imagine that he would doubt your love? Imagine what his answer would be to this strange question, Why did he give him a choice in the first place if this was a divine ruling? The truth beats and tenderness of the heart when it is broken, as if it is saying to him: Excuse me, my son.
(He said, O father, do as you are commanded) He is also stranger than his father - peace be upon them - He did not say to him, “You are old and senile” - God forbid that he should say this - or anything else. Rather, he was a blessed son who had reached the age of seeking (oh father) Do what you are told and understand that this is a divine command. He understood from his young age that there are things in life called (trials), and the greater a person’s destiny is in the sight of God - the Almighty - His test was greater, and here is a pause: This is a young man, and life’s tests began for him like his father at a young age. You see what fate has in store for him: Will he be afflicted like the afflictions of Abraham - peace be upon him? Or lighter? Let the days, our master Ismail, show you what the days want from you?
(You will find me, God willing, among those who are patient.) Here is the strangest thing about youth: enthusiasm, empty promises that are not kept, or that he excludes himself from patience except after God’s permission. This is the jurisprudence of the son of the prophet.
(So when they submitted and turned to the forehead) see: The speech at the beginning came on the tongue of each one of them (our master Abraham and our master Ishmael) in the singular, or here the speech came in the dual form, (they surrender)) What does this mean? It seems that these are feelings of faith that swept through the father and his son at these moments, and perhaps the looks of the eyes speak more than the tongue, as if a farewell after thinking and deliberation (the Qur’an does not mention how much time it took) the calling until they reach this state, and look at the case of (He gave him the forehead: So the matter is not just resonant slogans or words that do not reach the throats, but rather action and movement for the sake of a heavenly goal whose purpose is not understood)
And we called him: The letter W indicates kindness in the Arabic language, and not like the letter F, indicates speed, right? God - the Almighty - seems to have put them through a profound test and enough time to make a decision - of course God is Most High and Most Knowing - but here and here is only the time for the call (the time to surrender) the surrender is one of the virtues in Islam. There is a rare act of worship that many Muslims do not know about. The virtue of (surrendering to God in times of adversity).
Have you ever experienced hardship? Of course, we are in this world. What did you do: revolution - shouting - perhaps complaining and false statements against God? Did your revolution come about with your sectarian demands? Of course not, isn't it? When did your factional demands come to you on a plate that you did not choose? when I calmed down and it may have taken some time or even a long time: So when? Check yourself: when you gave up. This is the nature of God’s dealings. Whether he is satisfied or displeased is not important. What is important is that you will not truly obtain your demands until you surrender.
(And We called to him, “O Abraham, you have confirmed the vision. Indeed, thus do We reward the benefactors) Abraham - peace be upon him - believed his vision and transformed it from a mere dream into a reality,And you, did you believe your visions, and what makes you say that I see visions, and perhaps I have not seen one in my entire life? If you have not seen a vision one day, but rather a heavenly message has reached your ears or a vision with your eyes and you are certain that it is a message from God (the words are of course for believers) Did you believe it? Did you achieve it as God intended? Or did you ignore it and turn your back and mind to it and say that it is incomprehensible? This is the father of the prophets and his son who believed the vision with truth. And see: Who does he think believed the vision or did not believe it? God - So this is a strong belief, for there is no better testimony than God’s testimony over anyone regarding the truth, and look at what God Almighty says (Indeed, thus do We reward the benefactors.) What is the relationship between benevolence and honesty, my dear brother? Does God Almighty count honesty as benevolence? God knows .
(Indeed, this is the clear test, and We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.) Who says that it is a clear test? God Almighty, and you know that God only speaks the truth, And you know that God does not speak in an exaggerated manner as we do, which is a type of lie. What this means is that God Almighty appreciates sensations and feelings and does not distance them from us or cancel them, but rather wants us to transcend them, There is a great gap between enforcing feelings and sublimating them. The affliction was clear to everyone who heard it at that time and to this day, so the reward was great as you can see, and if you have a great affliction, so, wait for the reward is greater from the Most Generous Lord.
(And his legacy is praised by others) You and I, and we, Muslims, are still mentioned, and we greet him five times every day in prayer and in greetings in the prayer, Don't you see that immortal deeds immortalize the memory of their doer? Peace be upon you, my lord Ibrahim - peace be upon Abraham - peace be upon him -
(Thus do We reward the doers of good.) Look, the second time kindness is mentioned in the same verse. If you do a good job in your work and your boss praises you at work, you will feel proud, especially in front of your colleagues at work. Nevermind, Abraham - peace be upon him - is mentioned twice as a doer of good deeds. The same verse.
(Indeed, he is one of our faithful servants) A strange appendix to the noble verse. I understand the verse to end with him being one of our good-doing servants, nay, of the believers, and this is an indication that faith and benevolence, they are indivisible, and God, of course, is Most High and Most Knowing, and another indication that believing in God is an honor and the honor of worshiping Him is sufficient for us - Glory be to Him -
The story of our Master Abraham - peace be upon him - may God redeem him and your son, your neighbor’s son, your cousin and other thousands of people - has ended with the test of our Master Abraham to put something new on the earth, no one knew about him, and you began your story and it will end after a specific time set by God. If you are in a great calamity and you are not patient, but rather do good in this calamity, then trust in God Almighty - after this pain, you will reap a lot of good, and perhaps you will inspire someone, and perhaps you will be proud of your pain after a while, and perhaps this pain is the key to people knowing you and your victory in the end.
In the end
We remind you of what we brought above: There is a forgotten act of worship among many Muslims called (good submission to God in times of adversity), and you do not understand the adversity, and you suffer from the adversity, and you do not understand the adversity. One day you will be rewarded for this patience and good surrender.
