Mufti Menk explains the importance of Eid al Adha in Islam

Ismail Musa Menk was born in Harare, Zimbabwe. He is a student of knowledge trying to disseminate the Deen (Religious) in the current age.

In this powerful lecture, Mufti Menk highlights that we will never get what we want in this world because Allah has kept a paradise where we will be getting what we want; Allah brings us to His closer through His trials and tribulations. Eid al Adha is all about sacrifice; it is all about cutting out oursleves that which displeases Allah and forcing ourselves to do that which pleases Allah such as our Salah (Prayers), our truthfulness our dress code come which are important for us to realize. When the tests come in our direction we should bear in mind the spirit from the sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) in order to please Allah by surrendering to the decrees of the Almighty.
