Aidil Adha Greetings...




Eid Mubarak! Wishing blessings of Eidul Adha to all..

May we live to emulate the spirit of sacrifice exemplified by the noble family of our Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) his son Prophet Ismail a.s. and his mother Hajar.

Besides the degree of sacrifice by the Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail, we should also ponder on how this noble and wonderful woman had been so steadfast, patient and true to Allah’s commandments. It was this brave woman who became the pioneer of a blessed Holy City, the destination of pilgrims from all over the globe during hajj and umrah.

Her acts of running in despair back and forth between the two hills, in search of precious water; while young Ismail lay crying on the hard and desolate desert sands, has been made one of the hajj and umrah rituals…
