Eid Mubarak with a Concern!

I am happy to congratulate you all today on Eid ul Azha. Over the last 14 hundred years the aim and objective of the Muslim learning, character building, teaching and preaching has remained one and the same…….to know and to act on the reality of the Abrahimic traditions. As Al-Quran lays stress upon, “it’s neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it’s piety from you that reaches Him. Thus have we made them subject to you that you may magnify Allah for His guidance to you. And give glad tidings to the Muhsinin(doers of good).”
In spite of Allah laying emphasis on Taqwa(piety), today, Muslims live as deaf and dumb under a rotten, deceitful and fake system of their rulers and chiefs as if anything in a salt- mine and thus having failed to offer any enviable example of character-integrity before the non-Muslim world. There is an exploiting and despotic system almost everywhere thrust on Muslims to deprive them of God-given opportunities to gain best possible access to the highest standard of learning and serving God and humanity in the world.
