In his own words, “This auspicious day is an opportunity to consider Allah’s benevolence as revealed via the kind favors bestowed upon Prophet Abraham and his son, Prophet Isma’il.
“These eternal truths serve as a beacon of light for humanity throughout time, reminding us of the insurmountable obstacles our Creator places in our way to salvation. We find the moral inspiration to be the finest versions of ourselves by accepting these teachings.
