- This eid of sacrifice is the eid related to the life of Prophet Ibrāhīm and his son Ismā‘īl; and it is linked to the annual ḥajj ceremony. So let us look at the main message of hajj and eidul adhaa
- Islam is a world religion. Yes, it started in Arabia through an Arab prophet but its message, from day one, has been universal, for all people
- The Prophet sent emissaries to invite the neighbouring nations towards Islam: from Minor Asia and Persia, to Yemen and Ethiopia
- The Qur’ãn clearly says in 49:13 that there is no preference in Islam for race, color or language
- This concept of equality of believers in the eyes of Allāh was not left by the Prophet at the level of theory only.
- This is physically re-enforced in daily jamã‘at prayer where there are no reserved seats. It is re-enforced more broadly in weekly Friday congregations
- However, the most visible and powerful manifestation of this equality is in hajj where people gather from all over the world
- A narration of the Prophet in the last khutba after the hajj
- May Allãh give us the courage to continue spreading this message in our words and interaction with others.
- A haji is expected to come back from hajj with a colour-blind view towards other Muslims.
- Iḥrãm: it is not actually a dress of any nation in the world – this physically removes all distinctions from pilgrims.
- Read what Malcom X says in his autobiography about his transformation in hajj from an anti-white person to a color-blind Muslim
- It was relevant at that time and it is also relevant during our time not only in the Western societies
– Especially in the USA and how police treat the Afro-Americans, but also among the Muslim and Shi‘a communities.
- The young generation must take the bull by the horns and remove the colonial mentality of treating others as inferior, even if it means going against the older generations.
- The first priority in preparing the community for the zuhūr of the Imam al-Mahdi (aj) is to get rid of this jāhiliyyah mentality of racism by putting someone down just because of his ethnicity
- You are a Shi‘a Muslim first before you are an Iraqi or Irani or Afghani or Punjabi or Muhajir or Indian or Gujarati or Kathchi or Canadian or American.
