Rediscovering the True Spirit of Sacrifice This Eid al-Adha

There was a time when Muslims took genuine pride in sacrificing animals solely for the sake of Allah. It wasn’t about social media posts, extravagant displays, or public recognition—it was about devotion, humility, and submission to the will of our Creator.

Sadly, in today’s fast-paced, attention-seeking world, the true essence of Qurbani (sacrifice) has dimmed. What once stood as a symbol of sincerity and taqwa (God-consciousness) now often becomes a show of status and wealth. The spirit of sacrifice feels lost—not because the act has changed, but because the intention behind it has.

Are We Sacrificing for Allah or for Ourselves?

This Eid, we must ask ourselves honestly: are we offering our Qurbani to seek the pleasure of Allah, or are we looking for approval from society?

Allah reminds us in the Qur’an:

“Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you.”
— Surah Al-Hajj 22:37

It’s not the flesh or blood that matters—it’s the intention behind the act. If our sacrifices are spiritless, then they are truly clueless. When we distort the meaning of sacrifice into a performance, we risk denying the profound mercy and purpose behind it.

Rekindling the Spirit with Ambrina Hotel

This Eid, join Ambrina Hotel in reviving the true spirit of sacrifice. Let this be more than a ritual—let it be a renewal of purpose. Let us not just follow the traditions of our forefathers blindly, but reawaken the deep spiritual legacy they carried with pride and humility.

Whether we choose pride or humility, it’s time to redefine the words, trends, and motivations surrounding Qurbani. Let’s sacrifice not only animals, but our ego, desires, and ambitions—for the sake of Allah, not ourselves.

Key Takeaways for Eid al-Adha 2025:

• Reflect on your intentions before making a sacrifice.

• Educate your family about the spiritual significance of Qurbani.

• Avoid showmanship—seek Allah’s pleasure, not society’s approval.

• Support initiatives like Ambrina Hotel that aim to revive the true meaning of Eid.

Final Words

This Eid, let us return to the purity of intention. Let our hearts be humbled, our actions aligned with taqwa, and our sacrifices a testimony of love for Allah alone. May our Qurbani bring us closer to Him, and not just closer to likes, shares, or applause.
