What does Eid al Adha mean? Story of Prophet Ibrahim

Mark of Abraham 3: Sacrifice
 इब्राहीम का निशान 3: बलिदान 

In the previous sign, a son was promised to the elder prophet Ibrahim (alaihis salaam). And Allah kept his promise. In fact, the Taurat continues this claim of Ibrahim (alaihis salaam) to describe how he had two sons. Birth of 16 Bab tells how he got his son Ismail from Hajra and then from birth 21, Bab tells how he got his son Isaac after 14 years from Sarah. Unfortunately for his household, this was the result of a great stir between the two women, Hajra and Sarah, that Abraham was forced to send Hajra and his son out of the house. How this happened, you can read it here and know how Allah blessed Hajra and Ismail in another way.

Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifice: Foundation for Eid-ul-Adha

Thus there was only one son left in the house of Abraham to face the greatest test, but it is the only means that opens the way for us to a greater understanding of the straight path. You can read this statement regarding the examination of his son's sacrifice in both Taurat Sharif and Quran Sharif here. Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated only because of the story of these books – but it is not just a litany of events. Rather it is more than this.

From the narration of the books, we can see that it is a test for Abraham (alaihis salaam) but it is much more than this. While Abraham (al.) is a prophet, this test is also a sign for us to learn more about God's concern for us - in what way is it a sign? Please pay attention to the place that Abraham had named where his son was to be sacrificed. That part of the Taurat is explained here so that you can read it Barahe Raast.

 13 Abraham looked up and saw a ram. The horns of the ram were stuck in a bush. So Abraham went there, caught him, and killed him. Abraham offered the ram as a sacrifice in place of his son. Abraham's son survived. 14 So Abraham named the place "Jehovah Jereh" [a]. Even today people say, "Jehovah can be seen on this mountain."

 Birth 22:13-14

Consider the name that Abraham ("Abraham" in Taurat) gave for that place. He named it "God will provide." Is this name in Maazi, recently, or in Mustaqbil? It is clear that this is in the age-e-mustaqbil. Even its meaning becomes more clear when it is later confirmed that (this statement was mentioned by Moses (alaihis salaam) exactly 500 years later in the Taurat) look at this phrase again "…. It will be provided.” See again that this era is in Mustaqabil and looking towards Mustaqbil. Many people think that Abraham was referring to the ram (a male sheep) whose horns were stuck in the bush and that he caught it and sacrificed it in exchange for his son - but you see that when Abraham was in this place before that the ram was sacrificed, was dead, and was burnt - if Abraham had thought of the ram - which was already dead, had been sacrificed and was burnt. So he should have given the name 'God has provided, which means that in the time of Magi - and Moses (alaihis salaam) if he had thought of the ram which had taken the place of Abraham's son, he too was mentioned in the Taurat in this way. Should have done, "Though to this day there is a saying that was provided on the mountain of the Lord." But both Abraham and Moses present this name in Zamana-i-Mustaqbil. So both of them were not thinking about that dead and sacrificed ram.

Then what was he thinking about? If we look at a clue, we see that at the beginning of this sign, the place where Allah had told Ibrahim to go, we find 2 verses of Bab 22, where it is written like this:

 “Then God said to Abraham, take your son Isaac, the one you love, and the one you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and climb him up one of the mountains to the side of the Sokhtaniqurbakni, which I will tell you.”

This incident happened in one of the mountains of 'Moriyah'. And where is he? Although in the time of Hazrat Ibrahim (2000 Qbal Masih) it was a Bayaban area, 1000 years later (1000 Qbal Messiah) the famous King David established the city of Jerusalem there and his son Suleiman built an Azimushshan Maqdis (Azimushan Maqdis) for God. Haikal-e-Sulaimani) of Ta'mir – We read about this in the Zaboor:

Solomon began building the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah. Mount Moriah is the place where Jehovah appeared to Solomon's father, David. Solomon built the temple on the same spot that David had prepared. This place was in the barn that belonged to Ornan. Ornan was one of the Jebusites.

 2 Ch 3:1

In other words, the mountain of Moriyah was in the time of Hazrat Ibrahim (and later in the time of Hazrat Musa) situated on a secluded height in the Bayaban covered with mountains. But 1000 years later, during the times of Dawood and Suleiman, when they built an Azimushshan Haikl (House of Worship), it became the Markazi Darul Khilafa of Israel - now it is considered a holy place of worship for the Jews.

The mountain of Moriah was chosen by the Lord and not by Hazrat Ibrahim. As explained to us in Surah Al-Jinnah (72) of Quran Sharif:

And that the mosques are exclusive of God, then people should not worship anyone with God.

 Do (Surah al-Jinnah 72:18)

Where it is written like this "The places of worship are chosen by God" we will know why this place was chosen by God?

Isa Al Masih and his sacrifice on Mount Moriah

And then we find a way different from Isa al Masih (alaihis salaam) and Injil-e-Sharif - we see this connection when we know one of the many alqabs of Isa al-Christ - Isa al-Massah Christ was given several titles—perhaps the familiar title was "Christ"—also called (the Messiah). But there is another title that was given to him – it is not so well known but it is very important. We see this in the Gospel of John, in which the prophet Yahya, who is referred to as John the Rebel in Scripture, says:

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and said, "Look at the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. 30 This is the one about whom I said, 'A man is about to come after me who is greater than me, ahead of me because he existed before me.

 John 1:29 -30

An important, but lesser-known of Jesus' title (alaihis salaam) which was given to him is "God's Barra". Where was he arrested and where was he sentenced to death? All this happened in Jerusalem. And the place where the crucifixion was given was the 'Mountain of Moraiah' that we saw in the last episode - at the time of his arrest it is said in Scripture:

 7 Then when he learned that she was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent her to Herod, who was still in Jerusalem at that time.

 Luke 23:7

In other words, the arrest of Hazrat Isa, the trial, and the sentencing of the crucifix, all happened in Jerusalem (= Mount Moriah).

Go towards Hazrat Ibrahim. Why did he name the place "God will provide" from the time of Mustaqbil? Because he was a prophet and he knew that something would be "provided" there and in the dramatic scene Hazrat Ibrahim's son is saved at the last minute, as a ram dies at that place. Exactly 2000 years after that, Jesus al-Christ is called the Barra of God – and that is where he is arrested, and sentenced to death!

    

Timeline of events in Jerusalem / Mouraiah mountain

   Qurbani rebuked Ibrahim for his death

Is this important for us? I note how this sign of Ibrahim ends. verse 107 of surah 37 says about Abraham (alaihis salaam):

  And we rejoiced with a very egoistic sacrifice

 Luke 23:7

What does it mean to give "fidaya"? To give a fidayad means to pay a price for someone who is in captivity so that he can be released from prison. Fidaya for Abraham (alaihis salaam) means that he was in some kind of prison (yes even though he was a great prophet)! What kind of prison was he in? It shows us the scene with his son - he was a prisoner of death - although he was a prophet - death held him like a prisoner. In the sign of Adam, we saw that Allah had put Adam and his descendants (everyone—including the prophets) as the result of their sin. Now all of them were in prison for their sins. But somehow in this drama of Barre's sacrifice, it proved to be 'fidaya' for Hazrat Ibrahim - if you look again at these Sicilian War Signs (Adam, Kain, and Abel, Noah here Abraham - in the lives of all these You see how these people are connected to the sacrifice of an animal. This means that he knew something about it that it would save them - and we can see in Abraham's case that he did this. Also in Mustaqbil, Hazrat refers to Jesus as the companion of God, who is also related to Abraham.

Qurbani: For us, there is a balance of blessings

The sacrifice of a ram on the Mount of Moriah is also of great importance to us. When the exchange took place, at that time Allah says to Hazrat Ibrahim:

 “….and because of your race, all the nations of the land will be blessed because you obeyed my words and followed them”

 born 22:18

If you belong to any 'community of the world (by the way you do) then it also belongs to you, you are also entitled to this promise because Allah Himself has made this promise in your favor! Isn't it valuable to you! How is this connection of the story of Abraham, which is related to Hazrat Isa, in what way is Barkat's twenty-two for us? And why? We noticed that Abraham (alaihis salaam) had a lot of love. And this is also a hint for us but apart from this the answer is not shown with preparation, so we have to continue with the sign of Hazrat Musa (which is two signs) and he will answer these questions for us.

But for a moment I would like to point out the word 'nasal' which here is the word 'nasal' in Wahid's sege. Here the races are not written like many are from one child or people. The promise of a blessing was from a particular breed of Hazrat Ibrahim, so it is in the sage of Wahid and not from the legacy of many people or from the congregation of people, that is, 'from them' but "from him" - later on, Will help us understand the Passover which is a sign of Moses.
