The Spirit Of Sacrifice

Today being the Holy day of the Bakrid, I feel that its a apt time to tell something on it. People think the fest is a barbaric activity which kills animals for the feast. I would like to clarify that with the little informations i know.First a bit history. This occasion is celebrated on the day when Ibrahim sa-al-was ready to sacrifice his only son. To witness this holy sacrifice Allah has made the sacrifice of a goat, cow or a camel on this day. This is to prove that His followers are ready to sacrifice for Him. It is not a barbaric activity as it being told around. The basic rule of Islam is the man is ruler of this world. Everything in this world is created by Him is to assist the mankind. Yes its quite contradictory to all the scientific belives but cience cannot prove everything and there is a great power behind every creation and thats Him. And this sacrifice is to make man remind that he is obliged to the God. And to share it with the others and to give it to needy people. It just promotes peace, harmony and understanding unlike what "others" say about it.
