The Great Sacrifice

The last Islamic Month Zil-Hajj has been started. In this sacred month Muslims perform Hajj and on 10th of this month they slaughter an animal (it can be Cow, Sheep, Camel). This month is remembered as a great Sacrifice of Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s) and his beloved son Hazrat Ismail (a.s). We all know the details of this history.
We, the Muslims think that if we act according to these great Prophets sacrifice we can fulfil all the requirements and duties which Allah urge to us. The real meaning of this Great Sacrifice has been forgotton. The true sense and soul of this act is learning of giving our precious thing. Whatever we like most, we love more than anything if someone needs we just give it to him and we just handover for any good cause.
It does not mean that we slaughter high priced animals and show off our money. We should do this with our clean heart and consider the true and real sense of this duty then we can arrive towards the blessings of Allah.
