HOW MUSLIM OBSERVE EID AL ADHA?

ISLAM’S OBJECTIVE ARE THE WELFARE AND THE HAPPINESS FOR HUMANITY.

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (١)

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (٢) ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (٣) مَـٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ (٤) إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ (٥) ٱهۡدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٲطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ (٦) صِرَٲطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ ٱلۡمَغۡضُوبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ (٧)

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةً۬ وَفِى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً۬ وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ (٢٠١)

I keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers. Quran.. 51;55

Alif, Lam, Ra. 1 This is a book We have sent down to you, so that you may deliver the people, with the will of their Lord, out of all sorts of darkness into the light, leading them to the path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy (1). Quran.14;1

THE CONDITION OF ARAB AT TIME OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD.

Based on al Quran the Arabs were a nation that often had conflicts, hostility, kidnappings and civil-wars caused by different ethnicities and religious beliefs.  They killed their children foolishly, due to their lack of knowledge

QS 6;140.  A man could marry women more than four QS.4:3,

many women became slaves, and can be traded etc. QS.24:33

They were at the brink of a pit of Fire.QS 3;103.

Imagine how Arab people made a house? They made house from skin of animal, It was not real house but just a tent, moveable, QS.16;80-81.

They moved from one place to another place. During Muhammad’s (pbuh) time there was no police to guard people, there were no hospitals to go to when people got sick, also there was no hospitals for animals, no telephones, buses and electricity. It was very difficult to find water for bathing and washing dirty clothes. They lived in desert. When strong winds come up in the desert, the hot sand can damage human skin and eyes.

Therefore Allah and the Prophet Muhammad asked women  to cover their entire body with a cloth. Women are forbidden to go outside without accompanied by her brother or husband.

So Burqa, Hijab,  Veil  is not the code of Islamic dress, but the Arab traditional dress who live in desert at ancient time.

How to follow Allah and Sunnah or the life of Muhammad saw) professionally as a role model for Muslim in this 21st Century?

The Prophet Muhammad was a perfect man in the context of his time, We do not need to follow his actions in a literal sense, but, only in the context of our time.

If Muslims still follow the ancient Islamic law as above, do you think Muslim can pursue their dream? No!

Can Muslim man and woman  make great progress and produce super works of science, culture, art and aesthetics, as well as Islam in the best way, and thus represent to the world.

Think about that?

How ever Arab people feel so proud to uphold their ancestor tradition from one generation to the next generation.

Nowadays, Saudi Arabia still ban women to drive car, women have to have a guardian when she go outside. Its unbelievable, women still treat inequality with men.

Does Muslims around the world have to follow the ancient Islamic tradition such as above ? Or can the ancient Islamic tradition be reformed in 21st Century? My spiritual say  that, "Yes", "Must".Allah will not change your condition,if you do not change by yourself.

How Muslims Observe Eid Al-Adha, The Feast Of Sacrifice

Eid al-Adha, also called the Festival of Sacrifice, falls on Monday, Sept. 12, 2016 in North America. It is one of two annual feast festivals Muslims celebrate and coincides with the annual pilgrimage to Meccaknown as the hajj.

The timing of the holiday depends on when Saudi Arabian religious authorities see the new moon at the start of the Dhu al-Hijjah month, according to the Islamic calendar. For weeks, some U.S. Muslim leaders worried it would fall on Sept. 11, raising concerns that non-Muslims might misinterpret celebrations occurring on the solemn anniversary of the 2001 al Qaeda attacks.

Those fears dissipated in early September when authorities announced the holiday would take place on Sept. 12.

Muslims celebrate the Eid al-Adha to commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael in obedience to God in scripture. Today, celebrants frequently mark the day by slaughtering animals to feed the poor.

Bangladeshi Muslims purchase cattle to sacrifice for Eid al-Adha.

According to the Quran, when Ishmael (known as Isma’el in Arabic) was 13, his father, Abraham, or Ibrahim, began having dreams in which God instructed him to sacrifice Ishmael (Quran Surah 37). Unbelievable as the dreams were, Abraham decided to follow Allah’s instructions — but not before asking Ishmael if he would agree to this.

MY CONCERN;

Liberal Muslim do not agree where Muslims slaughter animals at front of Children? Because will harm Children’s behavior / their soul when they see the fresh blood come out from animals.

Most of Muslim around the world still follow the ancient Islamic tradition who lack of knowledge of health.

Does Muslim still follow the ancient Arab tradition ?

Or does Muslim  agree to slaughter animal at Slaughterhouses?

We live in 21st century, modernity, technology and science. Can we change or reform the sunnah or the way Prophet Muhammad (saw) slaughter animal for Eid Al Adha, 1400 years ago?

Wassalamuaaaa'alaikum--With all my love.
