The Sweetness of Sacrifice

Celebrating 'Eid-ul-Adha' is a commitment to sacrifice.
Sacrifice is a commitment to love.
Love is a commitment to faith.
Faith is commitment to life.
Hence life is but sacrifices.

Life is about struggle, and struggle certainly needs sacrifices.
Our readiness to sacrifice means our readiness to face the challenges of life, which is an evident challenge itself!

Thanks to Uncle Firman for sharing the above words of wisdom.
Life is but sacrifices...
But what is actually sacrifice?
Some people say that giving money to the poor is a sacrifice.
Some sacrifice their wealth for entertainment..
some sacrifice their time for sports
worst... some sacrifice their eternal HereAfter for this temporary world...

I am not saying that all mentioned above are not sacrifice.. (if we're talking about the dictionary's definition here) but the thing is...
what is true sacrifice?
of course... any 'true' thing has to be from Our Creator.. Allah
other than Allah, in this world, are all His creatures, all is dependent on Him and shall soon return to Him.
so lets get our defnitions right!
dont just go with the flow...
we have to look into our deen, turn to Islam... it is the way of life!

of course, everyone has their reasons for choosing one way or the other
everyones life is different, everyones tested in different ways, they have their own situations
.
whatever it is.. we have to be sincere,
have that strong intention to please Allah, not our lusts/ ego/ desire.
this life is for Allah.. insyaAllah, with a sincere heart.. Allah wil show us the way from whence we have no expectation!
life is but sacrifices and true sacrifice is a commitment to true love... for Allah.

Ya Allah, give me the strength to sacrifice for your sake.
Accept my sacrifice...
For there is nothing sweeter than the sweetness of sacrificing for You.
