"Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you." — Surah Al-Hajj 22:37
Eid ul-Adha; "The Festival of Sacrifice" is celebrated to honor complete devotion to Almighty Allah and to mark the conclusion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Among the two Eids of muslims, this one reflects upon selflessness, charity and communal harmony. At the heart of this celebration is the act of Qurbani which teaches us the lesson of sacrifice, faith and unconditional obedience to the Lord. Aside from that, it carries immense social value due to the strict division of sacrificial meat which ensures that the most vulnerable members of the society are served and can feast with dignity and honour, as the division of meat is not charity but a divine right. The practice also strengthens kinship and familial bonds as the remaining portion is shared with relatives and neighbours turning holiday into catalyst for nurturing friendship, strengthening family ties, fostering deep bonds through shared togetherness.
On this joyful day, BAF Shaheen College Dhaka Writers' Club wishes you and your loved ones a beautiful and prosperous Eid ul-Adha. May Allah accept our sacrifices, forgive our shortcomings and grant us endless mercy and baraka in life. We hope this special occasion fills your home with laughter and countless blessing. Eid Mubarak!
