Out of all virtues and good deeds, I rate the "willingness to sacrifice" for others and being able to find the joy in it, is, according to yours truly, the best character one can ever possess. It's the "willingness to sacrifice", which is the base of "EID Al Adha".
The festival commemorates God's gift of a ram in place of Ismail (pbuh), whom God had commanded Ibrahim (pbuh) to sacrifice.The Devil tried to persuade Ibrahim (pbuh) to disobey God and not to sacrifice his beloved son, but Ibrahim stayed absolutely obedient to God and drove the devil away.
However, Ibrahim (pbuh) succeeded the "test" and was offered a goat, in lieu of Ismail (pbuh).Yes, Eid al-Adha is a celebration of this supreme example of submission to God, which is the cornerstone of the Islamic faith (islam means "submission").
My family joins me to wish you from the bottom of our hearts, a blessed Eid Al Adha. In this celebration of "Sacrifice", let the world find the peace and the humanity find the love to one another, beyond this unnecessary religious boundaries! Let's get reminded of our duties towards the needy irrespective of their religious beliefs, during this festival of "Sacrifice"!
EID Mubarak!
With True Spirit of Sacrifices and Peaceful world!
