Virtue and faith

Virtue and faith

 

Virtue and faith are the two most important elements in religion. We must a very strong faith and be virtuous alongside completing our daily obligations or they have no value. Your obligations are completed only when your heart is pure. A group of people follow divine commands, but has no purity in their hearts, have no strong faith, and are not virtuous. It's only about remembering God from deep heart and hears all those unspoken words. Only a few creators of Allah have reached this stage. This lesson is taught by the prophet Abraham, not only to the Muslims, to whole mankind to have strong faith, and have purity in their hearts. He was ordered by Allah to sacrifice his most beloved son in the name of Allah. He went to complete his task without a single hesitation. The Bible and the Holy Quran has mentioned this story.

Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 12 He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now, I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.

Genesis 22:10-13.

All these happened on the 10th of Zo Al-Hajjah. This day, which is called Eid-al-Azha, is celebrated warmly by the Muslims to commemorate the great sacrifice of Prophet Abraham. The Muslims sacrifice Sheep, cows, and other animals and distribute the meat among the poor and needy people. Let this not only remain an Eid, but also let us make this Eid a factor of more purity in our hearts, a factor of enhancing our faith, and a factor of enhancing our Virtuosity.

May Allah Protect All human beings and lead them to the straight path.
