Islam celebrates two great festivals annually, Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha.
Eid-ul-Adha is a time for Muslims to learn the value of self-denial by making a sacrifice of the things they love, to God almighty.
Prophet Abraham’s great act of submission is thus regarded solely as an example of genuine surrender to the will of God and is to be followed as such.
Today, more than ever, human beings need to incorporate the lessons of this great sacrifice into their lives.
Qurbani offers lessons to all persons aspiring to become leaders.
God had said to Abraham, “I have made you the father of many nations”. Because of his faith, God had made him both a prime example of true faith among men and also the father of the faithful. God approved both his faith and trust and accordingly decreed that those who had faith like Abraham were to become his sons and be blessed like him.
Therefore, any leader must display the character of our great Prophet Abraham, especially his willingness to sacrifice everything he loved, for the ultimate hereafter. No one can be blessed with leadership, if he displays no feeling, care and love for his fellow human beings.
Muslims should not forget the poor and needy brothers and sisters in society as they observe this festival, by sharing sacrificial offerings with them.
“We face the challenges of living in a globalized world where there is greater alienation and distance between classes of individuals based on economics and education.  We must work hand in hand with people who have faith in the essential goodness of humankind.”
