Philosophy of Eid_ul_adha ?
Prophet Abraham (pbuh) made a sacrifice on Eid_ul_adha. This sacrifice is a symbol for the faithful people who want to tread the path of truth ٫ transcendence and perfection. This is impossible without a sacrifice . In fact ٫ all the tests that we go through involves a sacrifice . Sometimes this involves sacrificing your life ٫ wealth ٫ your dear ones or even forgiving an unfair criticism . Being tested means going through hardships . This is what a test is. Allah does not put us through divine tests in order to get to know us . Divine tests are in fact a step towards one's destination.
