Lesson of the celebration: Eid-il-Mubarak!
As we all celebrate eid-il-adha on Sunday, we neeed to remind ourselves of the lessons of the eid. Just like we strove to internalise the lessons of the Eid-il-Fitr after the end of Ramadan about ten weeks ago.

Eid-il-Adha also known as the festival of sacrifice is celebrated on the tenth day of Dhuj Hijja, the Islamic month world over. The festival is celebrated in the remembrance of prophet Abraham’s readiness to forfeit Ishmael, his son for God.
