00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			Evil either is the eve of sacrifice.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:01
			And the sacrifice we make of our sheep, cows, goats, or any other animal is a really symbolic of how
Allah subhanho wa Taala wants us to live our lives.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
			Our religion is called Al Islam. The religion of submission
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:30
			of our lives are supposed to be a life of submission to Allah subhana wa Tada. And you cannot submit
without sacrifice. You cannot submit without having to give up some of the things of this world that
you want, and some of the things of this world that you love.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:02:06
			Because each and every one of us will face tests in our lives. We will face decisions where we have
to choose between our desires and the obedience of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala where we have to choose
between what we love of this world and the obedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the stories of
the prophets, and especially the story of Prophet Ibrahim alayhi salam and his family gave us a role
model of sacrifice.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:46
			Allah subhanho wa Taala in the Quran, he uses the word Oshiwara and has the perfect role model for
only two prophets Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and Prophet Ibrahim alayhi salam and his
family Prophet Ibrahim alayhi salam and his family are called Swati and Hassan a perfect role
models. And so they serve as role models of sacrifice as well. When Ibrahim alayhi salam, as a young
man, preach the truth, even until his people were about to kill him,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:56
			that it for us shows us the true meaning of sacrifice, that he was willing to be thrown into a fire
for the sake of the truth.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:48
			When the Prophet Ibrahim alayhi salam left his family in the valley of Makkah, and his wife Hotjar
said that if this is what Allah wants was, Allah will take care of us. We see in both of their
actions, the spirit of sacrifice. When the Prophet Ibrahim alayhi salam told his son about his
dream, and his son said, Do what Allah has commanded, we will be patient. They both showed us the
very meaning of sacrifice and what they were willing to sacrifice for the sake of Allah subhanho wa
taala. And we see this in the model of all of the prophets of Allah, that they sacrifice anything of
this world for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. And we see this with the first generation, the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:04:35
			Sahaba or the Allahu anhu, that they all made great sacrifices for this religion. Look at the model
of Khadija Radi Allahu anha. She started as the beginning of the story of the Sierra we are
introduced to her as a wealthy widow. But when she passes away, she has spent all her wealth in the
path of Allah and the boycott had weakened, that we had given it all up for the sake of Allah. If
you look at most of even all male, Radi Allahu anhu, one of the wealthiest, most spoiled kids of
Makkah, and he gives all of that up for the sake of Allah. And he makes Hegira to Medina, and he
does Dawa to the people of Medina. And he's martyred in the Battle of order. And he never sees the
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			fruits of his sacrifice in this world.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:59
			Even the other Sahaba 20 or 30 years later, when they conquered Persia, and when they conquered the
Roman countries, they would ask themselves, and they would say if only Musab could have seen this,
because they all remember the sacrifice. The Sahaba made great sacrifices for this religion. And we
live in a time where we are witnessing a revival.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:51
			evil of Islam. But a revival cannot take place without sacrifice. And each and every one of us need
to think deeply. What am I willing to sacrifice for the sake of Allah? Am I willing to give my time
for working on projects that benefit the ummah? Am I willing to invest my money in projects that
benefit the ummah? Am I willing to give my life for the sake of Allah? These are all questions that
Muslims must ponder on the day of sacrifice. We ask Allah to make us from those who love a life of
sacrifice a life of submission, who are willing to give up our desires for the sake of Allah subhana
wa Tada. We ask Allah to make us from those who are united on the straight path, and who do not
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:08
			compromise our fate for any reasons Robina Artina V dunya? Hacer una what we have here are the

00:06:39 --> 00:07:09
			one of the core themes of the day of aid is sugar. Allah subhanho wa Taala told us in Surah Baqarah
Chapter number two verses 185. The other contest guru, declare the tug beer of Allah on the day of
Eid show that you may be grateful that we should spend the day of Eid in a state of gratitude. And
really, as believers, we should live our lives in a state of gratitude.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:08:03
			There are many levels of worship, and many levels of hierarchy. But the highest level, the level of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the level of gratitude. Some of us may worship Allah out
of fear. Some of us may worship Allah out of hope. Some of us may worship Allah out of obligation.
All of this is good, all of these different levels on the stages of righteousness. But the highest
level is that of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he would spend long nights in the
keyamo, Laila and his wife Aisha Radi Allahu anha asked him, Why do you play so much when your sins
are already forgiven? And he said, Should I not be a grateful servant. So his worship came from a
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:52
			place of gratitude. And that is the level we must aspire towards. It starts with being grateful
about the small thing. It starts with, saying Alhamdulillah it starts with just putting in our
hearts in a sense of gratitude for any of the good things that Allah has blessed us with. And over
time, it can grow into a lifestyle, that our whole lives are a means of showing gratitude to Allah
for what He has given us. When the Prophet Solomon alayhi salam looked around at his kingdom, and
you realize what Allah had blessed him word, from the ability to converse with animals to control
over the wind and the jinn. What did he do when he realized the blessings of Allah and His life, He
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:58
			made dua to Allah and he said, Oh, Allah make me from the Shakti rain make me from those who are
grateful.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:08
			This is what we must work towards. And it starts today, it starts with spending the day of aid in a
state of gratitude.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:56
			We all have tests in our lives, and we all have things that are not right, because this world is a
test. And only Janna things are perfect. But it may be that you have two or three tests in your life
and 100 things going your way. But we are so focused on what is not right, that we fail to
appreciate and enjoy what is going right. So let us start looking at the world differently. For the
tests we will have sober, but we also will look at what Allah has blessed us with. And for that we
will have sugar and we can be in the state of sugar and Farber at the same time. Because in life you
will always be going through both and sugar does not only mean being grateful to Allah subhana wa
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			Taala but also being grateful to the people
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:50
			people in your lives because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever does not show
gratitude to people has not shown gratitude to Allah. So part of being grateful to Allah subhana wa
Taala is thanking the people in your life for whatever they do for you. So be grateful to your
spouse, express your gratitude to your husband, your wife. Let them know you appreciate what the
what they do for you. Be grateful to your parents, be grateful for your children. Be grateful for
your friends, for your community, for your businesses, for your customers. For anyone who has done
anything good for you, give them tax, tell them I appreciate you. And see the difference this makes
		
00:10:50 --> 00:11:30
			in the level of muhabba the levels of love between our heart and this is hard or being grateful to
Allah, that we are grateful to each other. Do not take the relationship in your life for granted.
Because none of us know how long we have left. So thank each other, appreciate each other, spend
quality time with each other and forgive each other for your shortcomings. We ask Allah to make us
from the people that gratitude we ask Allah to make us the people of Sabah We ask Allah to make us
are the people of submission We ask Allah to make us as the people of sacrifice Robina hub as
