In emulating the sacrifice of
Prophet Ibrahim [a], a Muslim
sacrifices an animal during the
days of
Hajj
.
By sacrificing an animal a Muslim
shows that he is prepared to sac-
rifce those things dearest to him,
even his own life, for Allah.
Hajj
is the largest gathering
where Muslims from all over the
world meet and learn about one
another.
It is a gathering of peace - peace
with Allah, peace with one’s soul,
peace with one another and
peace with animals, birds and
even with insects.
To harm or even disturb the
peace of anyone or any creature
is prohibited during the
Hajj
.
Hajj
teaches us brotherhood and
the equality of all human beings.
Muslims from different parts of
the world assemble at Makkah in
obedience to Allah.
