Motivations of Eid

The whole nation is now moving to celebrate Eid! Before celebration, we need to back to past for reconfirming our motivation, unless it will not make any change in our personal, family and societal life. It will be just a festival, but not way to reach God as did the Father of faith Ibrahim (Abraham). We are lucky; we now no need to sacrifice our child, but need to sacrifice ourselves with total heart and devotions. We need to inherited the real sprit by sacrificing the most precious and pure thing.

It is true, nowadays the meaning of Kurbani (sacrifice) become showing the socio-economical status of persons, instead of the spiritual dignity that is faith. On the eve of Eid I tried to reconfirm my position. Am I really faithful? Before prove the faith, one must need to confirm the MASTER! I follow God or Satan? After three days struggle, by sacrifice son, Abraham proved himself as faithful person. But will we struggle three days or more or whole life? Will we really sacrifice most precious, pure and valuable things? I think, it is not matter, the price or size or type of animal, but need good and pure motivation! We must need to sacrifice with Ibrahim’s motivation and spirit beyond prides and fallen natures! Hope our offering will reach to God! After Eid our physical and spiritual lifestyle will enlighten with God’s spirits and love! We will be public minded beyond centered views and practices!
