On the occasion of Tabaski, the Ahmadyya community of Kaya urged the Burkinabè to sacrifice their time, their wealth and their lives for their country because love of the Nation is part of faith.
The feast of Aid El Kebir or Tabaski was celebrated on Sunday June 16, 2024 by the Ahmadyya Islamic Jamaat of Kaya under the leadership of Ahmad Saadat, Central-North regional missionary.
‘The sacrifice of the ram reminds us that we must sacrifice what is dear to us for the sake of Allah and for the sake of our country, like the prophet Ibrahim who wanted to offer his only son as a sacrifice,’ insisted the missionary in his oath of the day.
He urged the faithful to change their behavior, to return to the right path and to pray for their children, the future elites of Burkina Faso.
‘We also prayed for our country which is going through a great crisis so that Allah brings peace. We called on the sons and daughters to sacrifice their time, their wealth and even their lives for the sake of the country because love o
f the country is a part of faith,’ said Ahmad Saadat after the prayer. .
Towards the families who were unable to acquire a sheep for the ritual, Ahmad invites the faithful to show solidarity with their neighbors, because Tabaski is a celebration of sharing.
‘The Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) slaughtered 2. One for himself, one for those who did not have the means to do so,’ he added.
For the community leader, the faithful Muslim who have the means have up to 3 days to sacrifice the sheep.
