Baqreid the 2nd Eid

This day to celebrate the supreme sacrifice of the ancient prophet Abraham This day to ponder and reminisce that divine substitution of Ismail for a ram! This Quranic and biblical factual story shall never diminish in its age-old glory That superb reliance on and compliance with the will of God eternally for man to learn from and applaud. Upon his awesome trust in the unseen, let his kind marvel and of submission, devotion to God bestow him a laurel And now for the sake of mutual unity and festivity first let all of humanity release their doves of peace and let them fly freely, unprovoked, unrestrained with olive branches in their beaks such that when angels who predicted forever feuding humans look down they see instead 6 billion or more two fingers up in a huge mass of humanity signalling for and meaning to keep the peace! But mind you, world peace is to be everybody's goal so let no one leave space for any loop-hole. EID GREETINGS everybody.

This day to celebrate the supreme sacrifice of the ancient prophet Abraham This day to ponder and reminisce that divine substitution of Ismail for a ram! for to yield to such dream, He was indeed a great man. God himself is love and this love he shows for substituted Ismail for an arrogant or snobby ram who don't has a mouth to praise. This day to ponder and reminisce for this indicated that He created human to praise and humble their wings to him.............A.M.

Zinoub-- I have to be impartial. They are some furious creatures. If the ram was entangled in a bramble bush and thorns prevented it from running means not it was meant for the alter. If it came and lay on the alter then I could understand the sacrifice. And had I been Abraham I would say Oh Glorious God my son so young and I so old take me instead after all I left him in the desert to die once so please take me. Any how nice poem for your faith. Lots of love here.
