Appreciate the sacrifices of the Prophets and Messengers

• Muslims should appreciate the Aidiladha or Hari Raya Korban by always adhering and being loyal to the command of Allah.
• Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said Muslims must always follow and be loyal to all the command of Allah S.W.T as did the Prophet Ibrahim A.S in the incident on the sacrificing of Prophet Ismail A.S.
• “Our loyalty to the commands of Allah SWT must be demonstrated by upholding Islamic shari’a as contained in the Al-Qur’an and Al-Sunnah and making the teachings of Islam which is universal as our way of life.
• “Hopefully, we will all be able to follow the traits of surrendering to Allah SWT as shown by Prophet Ibrahim A.S and Prophet Ismail A.S,” he said in his message here today in conjunction with the Aidiladha celebration this year.
• He said Muslims must also remember the value of sacrifice which had been demonstrated by the prophets and messengers in the past especially Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ismail.
• Muhyiddin said the practice of sacrifice represented the symbol of the spirit of sacrifice which must be inherent in every Muslim who would receive the blessings of Allah in the present world and hereafter.
• He said the practice was also a symbol of gratification for all the blessings granted by Allah SWT. “It also reminds us of the sustenance granted by Him, so that the other less fortunate Muslims can share together the blessings gained from Him,” he said.
• Muhyiddin and his family, who are now in the holy land of Makkah to perform the haj, also prayed that Malaysia would always be blessed with prosperity and peace and protected from natural disasters.
• “I pray that all of you will always be blessed by Allah with good health and prosperity. Selamat Hari Raya Idul Adha from me and family for all Muslims in Malaysia,” he added. - Bernama
