An mani kam makhmm so avikato.

Welcome back to the virtues of the Ljij.

So the most prominent practice that we have within these 10 days is obviously the Eid of the sacrifice,

Eid al-Adha, it's the sacrifice itself, and it is the sacrifice, or Ith of the sacrifice itself and it is the sacrifice of

Ibrahim Ali his Sala that we are commemorated but there's something very deep

about the Ith of the sacrifice or the sacrifice itself and the meaning of the Othhia.

So Uthhia or sacrifice in particularly in the pre-Islamic context used to be done to the idols that they would

bring to the Caba and they would surround the house of Ibrahim al-I-Hissalam, the house that

Ibrahim al-I-Hissalam built for Allah, they would surround it with idols and then they would sacrifice

to those idols. And this is very embedded in the aspect of worship that used to be carried out and for us we find in the Quran where

Allah mentions kul-Innal--Ti, when Usuki,

we Mahjaya, we mamati,

I'll habe-ra-Lahir al-I mean,

say, verily my prayer and my sacrifice, my life and my death,

are all for the sake of Allah.

So the fact that Allah would even put sacrifice in the same category

as Salah as prayer here shows you really how deeply embedded this was in worship to the

idols and in the way that they would offer sacrifices to the idols.
