We don’t feed the beings of the Heaven either because God and angels don’t need our food!

Basically Eid Al-Adha serves a lot of objectives:

1. Remembering Abraham and the strength of his faith. At the same time remembering Ismael and his obedience.
2. We must be aware that every single object in this planet what serve our lives and existence give their life in exchange. So, every object what give us their meat or essential content, make sacrifice for men. Therefore, we have to remember and thank for God every bite of food and breath.
3. Best way of sacrifice if we slaughter ourselves because that way, we get rid of our own bad habits. When we slaughter, not only the life of an animal passes away, however we put an end to our fake promises, bad thoughts, lewd desires, irresponsibility. If we don’t do this way what’s the point killing a life? Is it merely eating? No!
4. There is another aspect why personal participation is important. Perhaps we can recall the scene of executions in the American movies. The sheriff, judge who rendered the judgement, the prosecutor and whoever had any share in the death sentence must be present in front of the gas chamber or the electric chair. They have to see the consequences of their words, statements and acts what have resulted the take-away of a human life. In our everyday life we rush, quickly eat something and run further. However, the bite of food what we swallow had a life before. We were not present in the slaughterhouse where thousands of lives disappear and transform into meat and food. When this staff arrives to us in esthetic package, we don’t even comprehend its used to be living existence. At least in this day we should face the consequence of our lifestyle. We have to be aware that whatever serve our existence once it was a living organ. Therefore, if we slaughter ourselves or at least we are present, perhaps we evaluate the value of other lives and the surrounding environment what we even don’t notice in our ordinary days.
