Qurban - Sacrifice

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

"Reciting Salawath on our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is an activity that will be accepted by Allah, even if we don't have Ikhlas (piety)".

The true sacrifice is accepting the truth that our existence is due to Allah's essence. A sheep sacrifices itself for a single recitation of "Allahu Akbar" but, we say "Allahu Akbar" repeatedly in our regular prayers - but we don't sacrifice ourselves even once. Whenever you say, "Allahu Akbar", make sure that you remember Allah's omnipresence and that we subsist because of His essence. That's the sacrifice we will have to do every time we pray.
