ÎD’UL ADHÂ 1445 H

[Mudâfa’at’ut Tawhîd]

Türkçe

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Allâhu Akbar, Allâhu Akbar. Lâ Ilâha Illallâh. Allâhu Akbar. Allâhu Akbar wa Lillâh'il Hamd...

Abundant praise is due to Allâh, we glorify Him in the morning and evening. Allâh is the Greatest. We only worship Allâh, we sincerely devote our religion to Him, even though the disbelievers dislike it. There is no -true- deity -worthy of worship- except Allâh. Allâh is the Greatest.

All praise is due Allâhu Taâlâ, who, in accordance with His perfect wisdom, has made the world the place of afflictions, described the hereafter as the eternal abode, tested us in this worldly life to see whether we will be obedient servants or rebels, placed dignity in the religion of Islâm, and imposed disgrace upon Shirk.

May peace and blessings be upon Muhammad al-Mustafâ, the guide and master of the children of Âdam, the servant and prophet of Allâh. He was the prophet who was a witness to people, a giver of glad tidings to the obedient, and one who warns people from the torment of hell while they have the opportunity to avoid it. May peace and blessings be upon his family and companions, who followed him step by step on the right path, did not pay attention to the condemnations of any critic, and were guides to the straight path, like stars guiding the way on a dark night. May peace and blessings be upon the servants of Allâh who follow them in good. May peace and blessings be upon the heirs of the prophets who illuminated the Ummah with their knowledge.

Foreword:

With the blessings and aid of Allâhu Taâlâ, we have entered Îd'ul Adhâ, for the year 1445 H. We congratulate the Îd of all the strange Muslims who are steadfast upon the religion of Allâh, and we beseech Allâhu Taâlâ to raise our sacrifices and fasts amongst the ranks of the pious deeds, to accept them from us, to forgive our sins, and to hear our penitence and repentance. May Allâh accept from us and you! May this Îd be blessed for us and you!

Servants of Allâh! This holiday, whereon blessings descend and good is distributed is not a mere day of happiness and joy. On the contrary, it is a great opportunity to get closer to Allâh with sincerity. One of the most distinctive features of this day is praying and sacrificing animals. Allâh said, "Therefore, turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice to Him only." (al-Kawthar, 108/2) As Allâh commanded us, it is necessary to devote sacrifices and all other types of worship only for Allâh. Only in this way can a servant express his gratitude to Allâh, al-Bârî, who created him. This is because a servant directing his worship to other than Allâh is the greatest form of being ungrateful to Allâh.

O people! Do you deem that Allâh only wants humanity to fast, pray, and sacrifice? Allâh's desire from humanity is for them to worship Him only. However, in order for a person to worship Allâh alone, he must know who Allâh is, he must know what worship is, he must know through what he obeys Allâh, and he must know through what he disobeys Allâh. It is the duty of every human being to acquire knowledge concerning this and act accordingly. But how few are the number of servants who thank their Lord and obey Him!

O Allâh! Make us Your servants who reinstate waging Jihâd in Your path, raise the banner of Tawhîd to the heavens, exterminate the followers of Shirk from the face of the earth, propagate the truth, eradicate falsehood, elevate Your word, and reinstate Islâm! Grant us victory and honour us! Do not grant victory to our enemies and disgrace them! Plan for us and do not plot against us! Let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us, make our hearts steadfast upon Your religion! Make us the helpers of Your Dîn and guardians of the pure Sharî'ah of Muhammad! Make us a dagger thrusted into the hearts of the people of disbelief, polytheism, innovations, and hypocrisy, and a heavy weight that cripples the people of oppression, corruption, injustice, and tyranny! Separate us from the apostates, the hypocrites, and those who innovate new things in Your religion!

Oh Allâh! Grant us wellbeing, Your forgiveness, and Your pleasure, shower us with Your blessings on this beautiful holiday, grant us an accepted and sincere repentance, grant us a good ending and admit us into Your paradise with Your generosity! Make these days a means of our rectification and advantage! Make these blessed days a means of revitalization and regeneration of your religion! Strengthen our brotherhood and unity; verily, You are the possessor of success!..

Allâhu Akbar, Allâhu Akbar. Lâ Ilâha Illallâh. Allâhu Akbar. Allâhu Akbar wa Lillâh'il Hamd...
