Spirit of Qurbani (Sacrifice) in Islam
The latest episode of Ranra (light) focused on the real spirit of Qurbani (sacrifice) in Islam.
Eid Ul Azha is the holiest Eid among the two, sacrificial animals are slaughtered during the eid to follow the sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS). Sacrifice is performed in order to distribute the meat among the poor who cannot afford meat. Eid also gives us the message of goodness and equality between the rich and poor. In the past many people performed this religious ceremony but without any spirit of sacrifice and many, may not have performed it according to Islamic principles such as distribution of meat amongst the needy people. Moreover, the discussion emphasized on the spirit of sacrifice instead of merely doing it for the sake of showing off.
Mr. Hidayat Ullah, Religious Scholar and Teacher of Peshawar, took part as a studio guest in the show.
Mr. Hidayat said: “It is essential to let the youngsters know that they should avoid one wheeling and over speeding during Eid and other especial days.”
A radio report was made part of the radio program. The report highlighted the real spirit of sacrifice in Islam.
4 listeners took part in the program through live calls. They requested the public to distribute the sacrificial meat among the poor.
