The Speaking Tree

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Speaking Tree | November 17, 2013

If you happen to be in an open field when it starts to rain, you hasten to find shelter, This is not cowardice, this is realism. Similarly, when there is an earthquake, you immediately leave your home for an open space. This too is not defeatism, but an acknowledgement of the reality of nature. When some difficulty arises between man and nature, the solution to the problem lies only in acknowledgment, not in confrontation.

It is true that adjustment is the only formula for a successful married life. But it is not adjustment for the sake of adjustment — it is for a higher purpose, that is, to create a normal environment in which it will be possible to achieve the real purpose of married life.

Eid al-Adha means Eid of Sacrifice. Animal sacrifice on this day is purely symbolic: the real sacrifice that is needed is self-sacrifice.
