1. 0:11Dear viewers, peace, mercy, and
2. 0:13blessings of God be upon you. In this
3. 0:17episode, we will talk about Eid al-Adha
4. 0:20and the Eid prayer. Why? Because many
5. 0:23people think that slaughtering a sheep
6. 0:26on Eid al-Adha is mandatory, as well as
7. 0:28performing the Eid prayer. Some people
8. 0:31have even started issuing religious
9. 0:33rulings on making up the missed Eid
10. 0:34prayer. And if there is a "making up"
11. 0:37for the Eid prayer, then this...
12. 0:39indicates that they believe the Eid
13. 0:41prayer is mandatory, which is why they
14. 0:44ordered those who could not pray it on
15. 0:47time to make it up. However, we will
16. 0:50return to the Book of God to
17. 0:52distinguish what belongs to the
18. 0:55Messenger and what...belongs to God;
19. 0:58meaning, what is the Sunnah and what is
20. 1:01the Book? Because some of us have made
21. 1:04the Sunnah a book. When I speak about
22. 1:08the Sunnah, I do not mean Hadith; no, I
23. 1:12say the Sunnah means what the Prophet
24. 1:15did voluntarily, not as a duty. And
25. 1:19this is the difference between the Book
26. 1:21and the Sunnah. The Book is from God,
27. 1:23and the Sunnah is...from the Messenger.
28. 1:26But this Sunnah has nothing to do with
29. 1:29religious legislation; rather, it has
30. 1:32to do with good deeds. Why? Because the
31. 1:34Messenger knew the Quran. He knew its
32. 1:37boundaries. And he knew that he had no
33. 1:40right to legislate from the religion
34. 1:42what God had not permitted. But there
35. 1:45are good practices. And these practices
36. 1:48have to do with good deeds. Because God
37. 1:51Almighty said: "And whoever volunteers
38. 1:53good, then it is better for him." That
39. 1:56is why the Messenger used to volunteer
40. 1:58as much as he could. And this
41. 2:00volunteering, many people have made it
42. 2:03part of the religion. But we will show
43. 2:05that it is not part of the religion.
44. 2:07Because the religion is what is inside
45. 2:10the Quran. And the traditions are what
46. 2:13we inherited through action, not
47. 2:16through speech. Meaning, I am not
48. 2:18talking about Hadith. The first thing I
49. 2:21will show is why some people think that
50. 2:23Eid al-Adha is mandatory. And that the
51. 2:27Eid prayer is mandatory. It is from
52. 2:29what we have inherited from our fathers
53. 2:31, always from our fathers. And when you
54. 2:34find disagreement among our fathers
55. 2:37about something, know that God is
56. 2:40innocent of it. Because no one
57. 2:43disagrees on establishing prayer. No
58. 2:46one disagrees on the obligation of
59. 2:48fasting. No one disagrees on the
60. 2:50obligation of Hajj. No one, because God
61. 2:53mentioned it in the Quran. But when you
62. 2:56find disagreement in the fundamentals,
63. 2:58not in the details. I am talking about
64. 3:00the fundamental, meaning establishing
65. 3:02prayer. As for the details, perhaps
66. 3:03raising the hands, lowering the hands,
67. 3:05these things—the early generations
68. 3:06disagreed on them. Because God did not
69. 3:08mention them, and they are among the
70. 3:09traditions. But the fundamental, they
71. 3:11did not disagree on it. So if there is
72. 3:13a disagreement in the fundamental—
73. 3:15meaning the fundamental of Eid al-Adha
74. 3:17—it is because Eid al-Adha is not
75. 3:19from God, but rather it is from the
76. 3:21Prophet's actions. And this is what we
77. 3:23will clarify. Scholars have disagreed
78. 3:26on the ruling of the Eid al-Adha
79. 3:29sacrifice in two opinions. The first,
80. 3:33held by the majority, says it is a
81. 3:36confirmed tradition. The majority cited
82. 3:40the Prophet, peace be upon him, who
83. 3:43said: "If you see the new moon of Dhu
84. 3:46al-Hijjah and one of you wants to
85. 3:48sacrifice, let him refrain from his
86. 3:51hair and nails." And that the Prophet
87. 3:54sacrificed on behalf of his nation. And
88. 3:57his statement: "Three things are duties
89. 4:01for me and voluntary for you: the
90. 4:04sacrifice, the Witr prayer, and the
91. 4:08Dhuha prayer." They also cited what is
92. 4:12authentic from Abu Bakr and Umar, may
93. 4:15God have mercy on them, that they used
94. 4:18to not sacrifice. Why? For fear that it
95. 4:21might be thought that the sacrifice was
96. 4:24mandatory. Meaning, Umar and Abu Bakr
97. 4:28did not sacrifice so that people would
98. 4:30not think it was a mandatory act. But
99. 4:34today the opposite has happened; we all
100. 4:38now think that the sacrifice is
101. 4:41mandatory. This is what the majority
102. 4:43came up with, calling it a confirmed
103. 4:45Sunnah. I will not call it a confirmed
104. 4:48Sunnah or anything else; it is just a
105. 4:50Sunnah. Because if we call it confirmed
106. 4:53, people think it is mandatory to do
107. 4:56because the Prophet did it. And this, I
108. 4:59personally consider it a form of
109. 5:01idolatry (shirk). Meaning, everything
110. 5:04proven about the Prophet becomes
111. 5:06mandatory, and everything not proven
112. 5:08becomes forbidden. If I do that, I have
113. 5:11made the Prophet a lord other than God.
114. 5:15Because God Almighty told us: if I have
115. 5:18not told you this is forbidden, do not
116. 5:21forbid it. If I order you to do
117. 5:23something, do it, and if you do not do
118. 5:26it, there is sin in that. If I forbid
119. 5:29you from something, refrain from it,
120. 5:32and if you do not, you are sinful; this
121. 5:35is God Almighty. So if God has not
122. 5:38forbidden something for us, and has not
123. 5:41ordered us to do something, we do not
124. 5:43do it. Then how have we made everything
125. 5:46not proven about the Prophet forbidden?
126. 5:49And everything proven about him a
127. 5:51confirmed Sunnah? No, oh servants of
128. 5:54God. What the Prophet added has no
129. 5:56relation to the religion. But it
130. 5:58relates to righteous deeds, for which
131. 6:02he is rewarded. But are we rewarded for
132. 6:05Eid al-Adha? We will clarify that when
133. 6:08we start with the Book of God Almighty.
134. 6:12The second opinion is that the
135. 6:14sacrifice is mandatory. Who said that?
136. 6:18God Almighty did not say it. No,
137. 6:20Al-Awza'i, Al-Layth, the school of Abu
138. 6:23Hanifa, and one of the two narrations
139. 6:26from Ahmad said it. Whoever worships
140. 6:30God, he worships God. And whoever
141. 6:32worships these men, he will make it
142. 6:35mandatory. Everyone has the choice to
143. 6:37decide who their Lord is, and who
144. 6:39legislates their religion for them.
145. 6:42Among the evidence of those who say the
146. 6:44sacrifice is mandatory—meaning
147. 6:45Al-Awza'i and Al-Layth—is what the
148. 6:47Prophet, peace be upon him, said. He
149. 6:49said: "Whoever has the means and does
150. 6:52not sacrifice, let him not approach our
151. 6:54place of prayer." Meaning, this
152. 6:57narration is what they relied upon to
153. 7:00say that the sacrifice is mandatory. So
154. 7:05they made the Prophet's saying a
155. 7:06religious legislation. Meaning, what
156. 7:10the Prophet says is a book. So there
157. 7:12became a book. The book of God and the
158. 7:15book of the Prophet. By God, tomorrow
159. 7:18we will be asked about these things. "
160. 7:21Or do they have partners who have
161. 7:23legislated for them a religion that God
162. 7:26has not permitted?" And He did not say
163. 7:28"who established a good Sunnah for them
164. 7:30"—no. Because the Sunnah relates to
165. 7:33righteous deeds. Here, God is speaking
166. 7:35about religion. So if one of them
167. 7:37imposes something through a prophetic
168. 7:40hadith, this indicates he has claimed
169. 7:43the Prophet is a partner to God. And he
170. 7:46legislates religion alongside God
171. 7:47Almighty. And God says: "Or do they
172. 7:50have partners who have legislated for
173. 7:52them a religion that God has not
174. 7:53permitted?" Not "that God and His
175. 7:55Messenger have permitted." And He, the
176. 7:58Almighty, said: "Indeed, the pure
177. 8:01religion is for God alone, He has no
178. 8:04partner." And they added another saying
179. 8:07of the Prophet while he was standing at
180. 8:10Arafat; he said, peace be upon him: "Oh
181. 8:12people, upon the family of every house
182. 8:15is a sacrifice and an 'atirah (a
183. 8:17sacrificial slaughter)." But Al-Hafiz,
184. 8:20in the book*Al-Fath*, said there is no
185. 8:22argument in it. Meaning, this hadith
186. 8:24does not indicate the obligation of the
187. 8:26sacrifice. Why did he say there is no
188. 8:28argument in it? Because the wording is
189. 8:31not explicit in absolute obligation.
190. 8:33And he mentioned what the' atirah is,
191. 8:35and it is not mandatory. So if the '
192. 8:37atirah is not mandatory, then the
193. 8:39sacrifice is also not mandatory, even
194. 8:41according to those who claim it is. The
195. 8:43Hafiz alerted them to these matters. If
196. 8:46these individuals were scholars and
197. 8:48jurists, why did they not notice these
198. 8:50things until the Hafiz came and pointed
199. 8:52them out? If the majority said it is a
200. 8:55confirmed Sunnah, were they not aware
201. 8:58of these narrations used by those who
202. 9:00made the sacrifice mandatory for the
203. 9:03people? By God, tomorrow we will be
204. 9:06held accountable for these things. We
205. 9:09will move to the Eid prayer, and what
206. 9:12our ancestors said about it. Scholars
207. 9:14differed on the ruling of the Eid
208. 9:17prayer into three opinions. The first
209. 9:20opinion is that it is a confirmed
210. 9:22Sunnah, which is the school of Imams
211. 9:24Malik and Shafi'i. The second opinion
212. 9:27is that the ruling of the Eid prayer is
213. 9:29a communal obligation (fard kifaya),
214. 9:31which is the school of Imam Ahmad ibn
215. 9:33Hanbal. The third opinion is that it is
216. 9:36mandatory for every Muslim, meaning it
217. 9:38is required of every man, and one sins
218. 9:40if they leave it without an excuse.
219. 9:43Meaning it is a mandatory prayer, which
220. 9:46is the school of Imam Abu Hanifa and
221. 9:49one narration from Imam Ahmad. I swear,
222. 9:52the believer is the one who takes God
223. 9:55as their Lord. The Almighty is the One
224. 9:57who prescribes and imposes things upon
225. 9:59them. Not people who just gave their
226. 10:01opinions like this. So I say: whoever
227. 10:04worships God, then God is the One who
228. 10:06legislated our religion for us. And
229. 10:09whoever worships humans, those humans
230. 10:12will disown them tomorrow. These people
231. 10:15. Sir, jurists gave their own opinions,
232. 10:18and they have no evidence from the
233. 10:20Quran. Even when they spoke about the
234. 10:23sacrifice, they did not bring any
235. 10:25evidence from the Quran—there are
236. 10:28contradictory narrations—and here too
237. 10:30, they did not bring any evidence from
238. 10:33the Quran, even though I must point out
239. 10:36something: for the Eid prayer, a woman,
240. 10:39even if she is menstruating, must go to
241. 10:41the prayer ground, but she does not
242. 10:44perform the prayer, while on Friday it
243. 10:47is forbidden. They prevented her from
244. 10:49going to perform the prayer. Claiming
245. 10:51that she is a temptation to men. So,
246. 10:54for the Eid prayer, which is......a
247. 10:56Sunnah, she is not a temptation to men,
248. 10:59but for the prayer that God Almighty
249. 11:01commanded, she is a temptation to men?
250. 11:03By God, we must believe that tomorrow
251. 11:06we will stand before God and will be
252. 11:08asked about every small and large thing
253. 11:11related to religion, and you will see
254. 11:14every nation kneeling. Every nation
255. 11:16will be called to its record. "And this
256. 11:19is My path, which is straight, so
257. 11:21follow it.""And do not follow other
258. 11:23ways, for they will divert you from His
259. 11:25way." These are the ways: what Imam
260. 11:28Ahmad, Hanifa, Shafi'i, Al-Awza'i, and
261. 11:31Al-Layth said. These things, by God,
262. 11:33are ways that have distanced us from
263. 11:35the path of God Almighty. And they
264. 11:37spoke about the permissibility of
265. 11:39making up the Eid prayer. They said it
266. 11:41is permissible to make up the Eid
267. 11:43prayer for whoever missed it, whenever
268. 11:44they wish for the rest of the day, or
269. 11:46the next day and beyond. If there is a
270. 11:48way to make up the prayer, this is
271. 11:50evidence that it is mandatory. Do you
272. 11:53know? God Almighty will ask us tomorrow
273. 11:55about our intent, not just our action.
274. 11:58About our intent, meaning what is the
275. 12:00reality of the action we performed. For
276. 12:02there are people who perform good deeds
277. 12:04but invalidate them. What is it that
278. 12:07invalidates them? Their intent. Many
279. 12:09people fast on Mondays and Thursdays.
280. 12:11This is a good deed, a righteous deed.
281. 12:14But their intent, what do they seek
282. 12:16from that? It is what was attributed to
283. 12:20the Prophet, peace be upon him, that
284. 12:22deeds are raised on Monday and Thursday
285. 12:25. Here, that reward is invalidated; why
286. 12:28? Because God did not say that deeds
287. 12:30are raised on Monday and Thursday. This
288. 12:33is a prophetic Hadith. And the Prophet
289. 12:35could not say these things. Because God
290. 12:37knows that deeds are not raised every
291. 12:39day, every week, or every month. They
292. 12:42are not raised. So when I fast on
293. 12:45Monday and Thursday, the goal of this
294. 12:48fasting—that when God raises my deeds
295. 12:51and finds me fasting—is what
296. 12:53invalidates that reward. That is why I
297. 12:57said many good deeds are invalidated by
298. 13:00our own efforts. I mean, why did we do
299. 13:03them? Why? Because we introduce things
300. 13:05for which God has not sent down any
301. 13:06authority. And this is considered shirk
302. 13:07(associating partners with God). And
303. 13:08this shirk is what invalidates these
304. 13:10good deeds. Therefore. When we want to
305. 13:13perform a good deed, we should not go.
306. 13:15We shouldn't go and look for why the
307. 13:17Prophet said it. Why not? We must do it
308. 13:20directly for the sake of. God directly.
309. 13:22That is why if I want to fast on Monday
310. 13:26and Thursday, I say I chose Monday and
311. 13:29Thursday and I fast for God Almighty
312. 13:32without the reason for my fasting being
313. 13:35that deeds are raised on Monday and
314. 13:38Thursday. Because deeds, as I said, are
315. 13:41not raised every day, nor every week,
316. 13:43nor every month. Deeds are raised as
317. 13:46the Almighty said in His Book. And now
318. 13:49we will go to what God Almighty said.
319. 13:51Not about Eid al-Adha, because God did
320. 13:53not mention. Eid al-Adha. Eid is a
321. 13:55celebration. Eid is a celebration. Eid
322. 13:58al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha is a celebration
323. 14:01for a certain reason. Eid al-Fitr is
324. 14:04the celebration of the end of the month
325. 14:06of fasting. And Eid al-Adha is the
326. 14:09celebration of the day that God blessed
327. 14:13us with with herbivorous animals. And
328. 14:17we will demonstrate this from the Quran
329. 14:18. This is why we hold this celebration.
330. 14:22A commemoration of what happened to
331. 14:24Abraham, peace be upon him, with his
332. 14:27son. A commemoration, just as we
333. 14:30celebrate the Prophet's birthday. A
334. 14:32commemoration of the day our Messenger
335. 14:34was born. A celebration that has
336. 14:37nothing to do with religion. We call
337. 14:40them religious holidays, but they have
338. 14:42nothing to do with religion. God is
339. 14:45innocent of these things. Days of joy
340. 14:47and happiness, and days that a person
341. 14:51uses to help the poor and needy. And we
342. 14:56will demonstrate all of this from the
343. 14:57Book of God. We will show what God said
344. 15:00about the sacrifice, not about Eid
345. 15:04al-Adha. Because God mentioned the
346. 15:06sacrifice in His Book. And we will see
347. 15:08what God Almighty said about the
348. 15:10sacrifice, and not about Eid al-Adha,
349. 15:13for God. God Almighty said in Surat
350. 15:15al-Hajj: "And for every.""nation We
351. 15:18have appointed a ritual, that they may
352. 15:21mention the name of God over what He
353. 15:24has provided for them of the cattle.
354. 15:28For your God is one God, so submit to
355. 15:30Him." I mean, God Almighty did not
356. 15:33legislate this sacrifice only for the
357. 15:36nation of the Quran. No, He legislated
358. 15:39it also for the nation of the Torah and
359. 15:41the nation of the Gospel. And they also
360. 15:44celebrate it. Likewise, we celebrate it
361. 15:48. Why? Because our Messenger celebrated
362. 15:51it, he celebrated it. But God did not
363. 15:53command us to celebrate it. No, He
364. 15:56commanded us to thank Him for His
365. 15:59blessing. What is it? That He provided
366. 16:03us with animals that we slaughter. Not
367. 16:06for self-defense, and not to fight
368. 16:08corruption on earth. But to eat their
369. 16:11meat and benefit from them. That is why
370. 16:14God is the one who harnessed them for
371. 16:16us. That is why He, the Almighty, said
372. 16:18to us when you slaughter them, mention
373. 16:21the name of God over them. I mean, we
374. 16:23slaughter them, we kill them with
375. 16:25permission from God. He is the one who
376. 16:28permitted it for us. That is why He
377. 16:29called them "Al-An'am"(cattle). The
378. 16:31word "Na'amah" means a blessing from
379. 16:34God Almighty. Where is this ritual that
380. 16:37was appointed for all nations? Not in
381. 16:41every world, no, in Hajj. So, upon whom
382. 16:47is Hajj mandatory? It is mandatory for
383. 16:51the pilgrim, not the entire world. The
384. 16:55sacrifice is mandatory for one
385. 16:59performing the Hajj rituals. Because
386. 17:04the sacrifice is a rite among the Hajj
387. 17:07rites. That is why when a person cannot
388. 17:11provide this sacrifice, a ransom is set
389. 17:13for them. Did God set a ransom for
390. 17:16those who slaughter during Eid al-Adha?
391. 17:19No, O servants of God. But for the
392. 17:21pilgrim, they must provide a ransom.
393. 17:25That is why the Almighty said in Surat
394. 17:27Al-Baqarah: "And complete the Hajj and
395. 17:30Umrah for Allah.""But if you are
396. 17:33prevented, then what is available of
397. 17:34the sacrificial animals.""And do not
398. 17:36shave your heads until the sacrificial
399. 17:37animal reaches its place of slaughter."
400. 17:39"And whoever among you is ill or has an
401. 17:41ailment of the head, then a ransom of
402. 17:43fasting or charity or sacrifice.""So if
403. 17:46you are safe, then whoever performs
404. 17:48Umrah followed by Hajj, then what is
405. 17:50available of the sacrificial offering."
406. 17:53"And whoever cannot find the offering,
407. 17:55then a fast of three days during Hajj."
408. 17:58And not at his home, because it is
409. 18:01speaking about Hajj. So a fast of three
410. 18:05days during Hajj and seven when you
411. 18:07return. Ten full days for those who
412. 18:10return home, because they were on Hajj.
413. 18:14God the Almighty made the sacrifice
414. 18:18mandatory for the pilgrim, not for all
415. 18:22the worlds. That is why God provided a
416. 18:27ransom when the pilgrim cannot
417. 18:30slaughter that sacrifice for some
418. 18:33reason. Therefore, God made the ransom
419. 18:36a fast of three days during Hajj and
420. 18:38seven when you return. But if a person
421. 18:40resides in Mecca, they will fast all
422. 18:43ten days in Mecca. To ransom the
423. 18:46sacrifice they did not perform. That is
424. 18:50why the Almighty always speaks about
425. 18:53the sacrifice. He said in Surat Al-Hajj
426. 18:55: "And the camels-We have appointed
427. 18:57them for you as among the symbols of
428. 18:59Allah." Here it speaks about the
429. 19:01livestock. But the body of the
430. 19:02livestock from which we eat. Not the
431. 19:05livestock itself, but the body of the
432. 19:07livestock, meaning the meat, bone, and
433. 19:09these things. So the Almighty said: "
434. 19:11And the camels-We have appointed them
435. 19:13for you as among the symbols of Allah
436. 19:15in Hajj; for you therein is good.""So
437. 19:17mention the name of Allah upon them
438. 19:18when they are lined up." Meaning that a
439. 19:22person should line them up. Because
440. 19:24during Hajj, there are many sheep,
441. 19:27camels, and such things. It is
442. 19:29impossible to take each sheep and say "
443. 19:31In the name of Allah." No, you place
444. 19:33them in a single line. And when you
445. 19:36begin the slaughter, you say "In the
446. 19:38name of Allah" the first time, then you
447. 19:41slaughter. It is not that every time
448. 19:43one wants to slaughter a sheep from
449. 19:45this line they must say "In the name of
450. 19:48Allah," no. That is why God the
451. 19:50Almighty said: "So mention the name of
452. 19:52Allah upon them when they are lined up.
453. 19:53" Just as when we eat food, we do not
454. 19:56have to say "In the name of Allah" with
455. 19:57every bite. We say "In the name of
456. 19:59Allah" at the beginning of the meal.
457. 20:00Likewise, one places the camels and
458. 20:02sheep in a line, then says "In the name
459. 20:04of Allah," then begins the slaughter.
460. 20:06That is why God the Almighty said "So
461. 20:08mention the name of Allah upon them
462. 20:09when they are lined up.""Standing in
463. 20:11rows, and when they fall on their sides
464. 20:14—meaning they have died—then eat
465. 20:17from them and feed the needy (al-qani')
466. 20:20, and the needy is the person who
467. 20:23slaughters and skins the sacrifice for
468. 20:26others and handles all those tasks. So,
469. 20:29God said to feed the needy and the '
470. 20:32mu'tarr,' who is the one struck by
471. 20:35distress, meaning harm or adversity—
472. 20:38either physical injury or a lack of
473. 20:40money to buy an offering. But he will
474. 20:44see people eating in front of him, so
475. 20:47they must feed him because he was
476. 20:49unable to slaughter the offering,
477. 20:52meaning the sacrifice. This is what God
478. 20:55said; the sacrifice is mandatory for
479. 20:58the pilgrim, while we celebrate the
480. 21:01anniversary that God Almighty told us
481. 21:04about in the Quran regarding Abraham
482. 21:07and his son, which was the reason God
483. 21:10provided livestock for humanity.
484. 21:13Therefore, God commanded us to mention
485. 21:16God's name over them and also to thank
486. 21:19God for the blessings He has bestowed
487. 21:22upon us." That is why the Prophet
488. 21:24slaughtered at his home to thank God
489. 21:27for this blessing. That is true, but
490. 21:30the reward does not lie in the
491. 21:32slaughter itself. The reward lies in
492. 21:37bringing joy to those in need. When one
493. 21:42gives charity from that meat, this is a
494. 21:45charity for which one is rewarded. But
495. 21:47this anniversary is an occasion to
496. 21:50thank God for what He has provided us
497. 21:53of livestock. That is why the Prophet,
498. 21:56out of gratitude to God, performed a
499. 21:58two-rak'ah prayer. Whether it is Eid
500. 22:02al-Fitr to glorify God for guiding us,
501. 22:05or Eid al-Adha to thank God for what He
502. 22:09has blessed us with. Because the
503. 22:12Prophet, peace be upon him, was wise,
504. 22:15and God was by his side, guiding him
505. 22:18regarding certain things. He would
506. 22:21perform them and know why he was
507. 22:23performing them. But we have passed
508. 22:26things on with exaggeration, and we
509. 22:29made what the Prophet did voluntarily a
510. 22:33religion from God. So, there are those
511. 22:36who say it is a confirmed Sunnah or an
512. 22:39obligation; but, O servants of God,
513. 22:41celebrating holidays has nothing to do
514. 22:44with religion, and no one is rewarded
515. 22:46for it. It is a commemoration we
516. 22:49rejoice in, and since it has no
517. 22:51connection to faith and these matters.
518. 22:54That is why the Prophet performed two
519. 22:56rak'ahs on Eid al-Fitr. To glorify God
520. 22:59for our guidance. Because the month of
521. 23:01Ramadan is when God revealed guidance.
522. 23:03And likewise for us. We call it Eid
523. 23:06al-Adha because on this day God blessed
524. 23:08us with livestock, meaning herbivorous
525. 23:11animals for us to eat, and this is a
526. 23:14celebration. The reward is not in the
527. 23:16holiday itself, but the reward is in
528. 23:19what we do during this holiday—
529. 23:21meaning bringing joy and happiness to
530. 23:24people, giving charity to people, and
531. 23:27when we perform prayer, we thank God
532. 23:29for this blessing. We have a reward
533. 23:32because God Almighty said, "If you are
534. 23:35grateful, I will increase you." The
535. 23:37Prophet knew these things. So know, sir
536. 23:40, that if I do not sacrifice, there is
537. 23:43no sin upon me, but if I do not
538. 23:45sacrifice and think there is a sin upon
539. 23:48me, then I would be committing a sin.
540. 23:50Why? Because I made the celebration of
541. 23:54Eid al-Adha and the sacrifice a part of
542. 23:56God's religion, even though God
543. 23:58mandated the sacrifice offering for the
544. 24:01pilgrim and not for all people. So, O
545. 24:04servants of God, we must verify things.
546. 24:07And put dots on the i's. Because we
547. 24:09will be held accountable for these
548. 24:11things. And this Book leaves nothing
549. 24:14small or large without recording it.
550. 24:17And many people underestimate certain
551. 24:19things. While they are great in the
552. 24:21sight of God. Because every sin is
553. 24:23great in the sight of God. And leads
554. 24:26its doer to dire consequences. And God
555. 24:29is the All-Wise, the All-Knowing. And
556. 24:31peace be upon you, and the mercy of God
557. 24:33and His blessings.
