Eid-ul-Azha (The Festival of Sacrifice) In Pakistan - - A Celebration of Faith, Sacrifice and Religious Fervor

ISLAMABAD: The nation celebrates Eid-ul-Azha with religious solemnity and renewed spirit of sacrifice, today – Saturday.

On this day, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) offered to sacrifice his beloved son Prophet Ismail (AS) in total submission to Almighty Allah.

Almighty Allah blessed with mercy and asked him to sacrifice a ram instead of Ismail (AS).

Muslims all over the world slaughter sacrificial animals on this day and draw inspiration from the unique example of sacrifice set by Hazrat Abrahim (AS).

The faithful will throng Eid congregations across the country, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan to invoke blessings of the Almighty Allah.

They will offer Eid prayers in thousands of mosques as well as in open places.

In the federal capital the main Eid congregation shall take place at picturesque Faisal Mosque – close to the range of Margala Hills.

The Muslims will offer special prayers for peace, progress and prosperity of Pakistan as well as the welfare of the nation.

Special prayers shall also be offered for the liberation of the Himalayan State of Jammu & Kashmir from Indian subjugation and Palestine from the tyrannical rule of Israel.

A four-day public holiday began Friday. Many city-dwellers have already left for their native villages or towns to celebrate Eid with near and dear ones.

Eid-ul-Azha is a festival that is celebrated on the 10th of Zil-Hajj and marks the close of the Hajj ceremony or Pilgrimage to the holy Ka\'aba.

A Muslim is required to perform the pilgrimage at least once in his lifetime, provided that he can afford the cost of the journey, is not indebted to anyone and is not otherwise prevented from performing the Hajj.

Those who are unable to perform the pilgrimage join in the Eid-ul-Azha ceremony at their own places.

The Eid is celebrated with great solemnity and reverence everywhere. Like Eid-ul-Fitr, Muslims make preparations several days before the festival.

The animals to be sacrificed are bought well before the Eid day by those who can afford to do so. These animal should be free from all physical defects and are required to be fully grown. In case of sheep, goat or lamb, one animal suffices for one household, while a cow or a camel can be shared by upto seven families.

On the day of the Eid, Muslims assemble in the Eidgah or in the main mosques of the town for Eid Prayers. The Eid Prayer is comprised of two Raka'as and offered in the same manner as Eid-ul-Fitr.

Generally no breakfast is served on this Eid, and those who offer sacrifice do not eat anything until after they have sacrificed the animal.

After the prayer the Khateebs and Imams [religious leaders] delivers a sermon in which they explains the significance of the festival, giving the details of the sacrifices offered by Hazrat Abraham (AS) and his son Ishmael (AS). Returning by a different route and reciting verses from the Holy Quran in praise of Almighty Allah, Muslim worshippers return home and slaughter their animals.

The person who offers the sacrifice is allowed to use a portion of the meat, the remainder is distributed among the relatives, friends, neighbors and the poor.

The animals my be sacrificed on the day of the Eid or the two days that follow. Millions of animals are slaughtered all over the world on this occasion.

The skins of the slaughtered animals are sold and the proceeds given to different charities.

Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) - - The Second Biggest Event of Islamic World

What is Eid al-Adha??

At the end of the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Makkah), Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). In 2009, Eid al-Adha will begin on approximately November 27th, and will last for three days.

What does Eid al-Adha commemorate?

During the Hajj, Muslims remember and commemorate the trials and triumphs of the Prophet Abraham. The Qur'an describes Abraham as follows:

"Surely Abraham was an example, obedient to Allah, by nature upright, and he was not of the polytheists. He was grateful for Our bounties. We chose him and guided him unto a right path. We gave him good in this world, and in the next he will most surely be among the righteous." (Qur'an 16:120-121)

One of Abraham's main trials was to face the command of Allah to kill his only son. Upon hearing this command, he prepared to submit to Allah's will. When he was all prepared to do it, Allah revealed to him that his "sacrifice" had already been fulfilled. He had shown that his love for his Lord superceded all others, that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dear to him in order to submit to God.

Why do Muslims sacrifice an animal on this day?

During the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims commemorate and remember Abraham's trials, by themselves slaughtering an animal such as a sheep, camel, or goat. This action is very often misunderstood by those outside the faith.

Allah has given us power over animals and allowed us to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the solemn act of taking life. Muslims slaughter animals in the same way throughout the year. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred.

The meat from the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha is mostly given away to others. One-third is eaten by immediate family and relatives, one-third is given away to friends, and one-third is donated to the poor. The act symbolizes our willingness to give up things that are of benefit to us or close to our hearts, in order to follow Allah's commands. It also symbolizes our willingness to give up some of our own bounties, in order to strengthen ties of friendship and help those who are in need. We recognize that all blessings come from Allah, and we should open our hearts and share with others.

It is very important to understand that the sacrifice itself, as practiced by Muslims, has nothing to do with atoning for our sins or using the blood to wash ourselves from sin. This is a misunderstanding by those of previous generations: "It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him." (Qur'an 22:37)

The symbolism is in the attitude - a willingness to make sacrifices in our lives in order to stay on the Straight Path. Each of us makes small sacrifices, giving up things that are fun or important to us. A true Muslim, one who submits his or herself completely to the Lord, is willing to follow Allah's commands completely and obediently. It is this strength of heart, purity in faith, and willing obedience that our Lord desires from us.

What else do Muslims do to celebrate the holiday?

On the first morning of Eid al-Adha, Muslims around the world attend morning prayers at their local mosques. Prayers are followed by visits with family and friends, and the exchange of greetings and gifts. At some point, members of the family will visit a local farm or otherwise will make arrangements for the slaughter of an animal. The meat is distributed during the days of the holiday or shortly thereafter.

Abdul Rahim Nagori - - Painter Known For His Socio-political Themes

Born in 1939, and having passion for art since his childhood done his B.A. (Hon), Fine Arts (Painting), M.A. Fine Arts (Painting) from University of the Punjab, Lahore during 1961 to 1965.

Professor A.R. Nagori pioneered Socio-Political Art in Pakistan. Solo exhibitions since 1958. Paintings sold, auctioned & selected at various international art galleries, auction houses and museums including Asia House, Sotheby's, Bonham and Asia Pacific Museum, Pasadena, USA.

Professor Nagori established Fina Arts Department of Sindh University in 1970 and remained head of department for many years.

Nagori is a scholastic man, well-versed in eastern history and philosophy. A veteran of art exhibitions, his work resonates with symbols that refer to ancients myths and legends. He Introduced to articulate protest against injustice and cruelty of man to his fellow beings, tempered with a mood of sardonic observation. Nagori's art is directed towards raising serious socio-political issues, while retaining pictorial and aesthetic values.







As the first and most radical socio-political artist in Pakistan, Nagori took a Masters in Fine Art from Department of Fine Arts of University of Punjab in 1965. There he trained as muralist; but
from 1980s, for economic reasons, he painted on small scaled canvases expressing in colours of brilliant vibrancy personal outrage at society and the world around him.

Though never intended to please or decorate walls, the beatuy of sensual textures and adept simplification of form were as inherent a factor in Nagori's work as his uncompromising statements rich with meanings. His exhibitions at the Indus Galleries in 1980 made history in art.





In 1986, Nagori 'shook the conscience of the nation' with his portrayal of the hardships suffered by the country's rural population.



In 1988, he evolved new symbols of alphabet based on shocking events; guns, heroin, crime and robberies.




In Nagori's work, viewer finds laughter and tears; his biting wit was irresistible as was the sincerity of his feelings for the people without recourse. In a mellow mood he painted idyllic memories of his children in their early years, and spoke of his student life in Lahore.

Trained by mentors who had no interest in commercial aspects of art, he maintains lasting respect for Anna Molka Ahmed, Khalid Iqbal and Shakir Ali. Recalling an early exhibition in Lahore, when someone commiserated on the lack of sales, he related: "It was extremely successful, Moyene Najmi bought a painting".

Today, he has emerged from the yellow and the ochre, only to plunge into the blue and the red. His blue is agonizingly serene, and his red tantalizingly dramatic. His canvases continue to be as disturbing as ever.

With a touch of Modigliani and a whiff from Ajanta Caves, Nagori follows Al-Ghazali, who in contradistinction to the Greeks' perception of sensual beauty, holds that a sixth sense, a sort of super sense, is responsible for the appreciation of beauty. Every great painter, every great artist and every lover of beauty possesses this sixth sense in its fullest degree which is the source not only of creation, but also of appreciation..."

"...His blue dips its fingers into green and his red burrows its head under mystery and suspense and drama, Nagori is about to discover himself, or maybe, discover the futility of his spiritual voyage."
