Benefits of Eid al-adha

 


falls on the 10th day of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah. On this day, Muslims commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.

In accordance with Islamic traditions, Muslims offer prayers and perform the ritual sacrifice of animals, typically sheep, goats, or cows. The meat from the sacrificed animals is divided into three parts: one-third is kept for the family, one-third is distributed among relatives and friends, and one-third is donated to the less fortunate.

Note: "Gharyabu" is a local term used to refer to the less fortunate or economically disadvantaged individuals in this context.

It is important to mention that the cost of purchasing animals for sacrifice can be high, and the price varies depending on factors such as demand and availability. The rising cost of living also contributes to the increased expenses associated with the festival.

In some areas, communities collectively pool funds to purchase animals for sacrifice, reducing the burden on individuals. Additionally, various welfare organizations and charities work to ensure that the less privileged members of society receive meat during this festive occasion.

May Allah bless everyone and fulfill their desires, and may Pakistan continue to progress among the developed nations of the world. If we faithfully fulfill our religious obligations, no one in Pakistan will remain poor or hungry.

MashaAllah, MashaAllah!

"So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?" (Quran 55:55)"

Escalating Violence and Vigilantism Plague Haiti, Urgent International Action Needed

  According to the UN Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), violence in the country's capital claimed the lives of over 600 people in the month of April alone. This follows a previous report stating that at least 846 individuals were killed in the first three months of 2023. Overall, BINUH reported a 28% increase in the number of victims of killings, injuries, and kidnappings in the first quarter of the year, with a total of 1,634 cases recorded. The UN human rights office (OHCHR) highlighted a rise in vigilantism, with mob killings and lynchings of alleged gang members becoming more frequent as "vigilantes take the law into their own hands." In April, at least 164 such murders were documented. The emergence of vigilante groups is attributed to calls made by certain political figures and journalists for citizens to form self-defense organizations to combat gang violence. The UN rights chief emphasized that such vigilantism will only contribute to a further escalation of vio...

  Lack of Progress and Devastating Factors Amplify Preterm Birth Complications An estimated 13.4 million babies were born prematurely in 2020, and almost one million of them lost their lives due to complications related to preterm birth, as highlighted in the report titled "Born too soon: Decade of action on preterm birth." This comprehensive report, produced by organizations such as UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH), sheds light on the urgency of addressing the long-underestimated magnitude and severity of this issue.
