AsSalaam’alaikum!
When it was said that many are disappointed with the way the Ibadah Korban was carried out in Singapore, detractors say, what do you need to take photos of the korban act for?
That really misses the point.
I have said it before and I will say it again. The Ibadah of Korban is not a personal thing. The very nature of the Ibadah is community based. It is a time when the ummah come together to help each other, work together in organising themselves to carry out the slaughter of animals and to distribute the meat to those deserving, where those who make the sacrifices praise Allah swt and Takbir – proclaiming His Greatness.
We have been doing this for more than a thousand years…
So why is it that today we hide the goats, we hide the ibadah of slaughter and whisper the Takbir when we do the slaughtering?
We have been doing this for more than a thousand years… and we never had to hide anything especially not whisper the Takbir like cowards!
MasyaAllah! It is as if we are doing some clandestine, evil and shameful thing!!
Why do the Islamic authorities agree to such unnecessary regulations that serves only to water-down and can eventually erase this Shiyar of Islam?
Allahu Musta’an!
