A FEW KILOS VS GREAT REWARD
Prophet (peace be upon him) said about the
meat of the sacrificial animals: ''eat some and preserve some and give some in
charity (last part of a hadith) .’” (Reported by Muslim, 3643).
So this time on Eid when you separate Meat
for the poor or as charity in the way of Allah. spare it with OPEN and BIG
heart. it can be cooked or uncooked. but don't give them only fats and bones
with little bit flesh over them that you yourself never accept. remember the
story of Habil and Qabil when they were advised to sacrifice before Allah Habil
presented the best (which was accepted) and Qabil was taken over by his greedy
desires and he presented poorly. so as result it was rejected by Allah. Allah clearly
tells us in the Qur'an:
Allah (Subhan Wa Ta’ala) says: "It is
neither their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that
reaches Him." (Qur'an 22:37)
So be humble and thankful to Allah for
granting you this opportunity of sacrificing in His way. and give best parts
and portions to the poor and take lots of Duas Insha Allah! :) don't miss the
great Ajar for some kilos of
meat which is going to be finished in couple
of days anyway. Share it with your Families Insha Allah!
