Relevant and related ideas threaded together beautifully into sage advice and a stark warning; the quranic instruction of pondering the past, the gift of abrahamic morality, and the story behind eidul-adha. As people take their inherited morality for granted they risk losing it, and with that risk the return to more ancient forms of morality. And so the importance of looking back into our past, and honouring and understanding rituals like eidul-adha, cannot be understated.
Fascinating read! I think even if we go back 100 years, our ancestors would be very foreign to us. The ancient world was very violent. I'm only familiar with different versions of the Christian bible, both Old and New Testaments. There is a lot of merciless conquest in the Old Testament, such as God telling the Israelites not to spare the women and children. Jepthah also sacrifices his daughter as a burnt offering in Judges and I always wondered why God didn't spare her. I'm not religious, but very interested in religions.
Very well written. Well done!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Allahuma Barik!
