Eid in Cairo

It was Eid-al Adha, and blood was good luck. This is the holiday to remember Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son. Just as Ibrahim was about to send the knife down, he heard a voice from heaven telling him to stop.

This is like a modern day Ibrahim, but without the voice. He has been sacrificing sheep all day, and Cairo’s streets are running with blood. If you think he is cruel, you must remember that this is his job. He is a poor man on a rich street, and people have been bringing him sheep all day, and asking him to do the killing. The look in his eye, I think, reveals that all of this killing is not his.

In Islam, there is a specific way of killing an animal. First, you must separate the animal from its friends, so that no one has to see the violence. Next, you must give the animal a bit of water and a bit of food. Then you blindfold the animal. You say a prayer to thank God for the animal, to say “Do not be afraid, because the same force that is taking your life now will one day take my life as well, and that is just the way.”

It is unclear which of these provisions are followed on Eid. Certainly not all of them, and certainly not all the time.

Mr. Khalil Gibran wrote how it is that people must kill animals. He said:

Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by the light.
But since you must kill to eat, and rob the newly born of its mother’s milk to quench your thirst, let it be an act of worship.
And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of the forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in man.
And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart,
“Your seeds shall live in my body,
And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart,
And your fragrance shall be my breath,
And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.”

During the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims commemorate and remember Abraham’s trials, by themselves slaughtering an animal such as a sheep, camel, or goat. This action is very often misunderstood by those outside the faith.

Allah has given us power over animals and allowed us to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the solemn act of taking life. Muslims slaughter animals in the same way throughout the year. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred.

The meat from the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha is mostly given away to others. One-third is eaten by immediate family and relatives, one-third is given away to friends, and one-third is donated to the poor. The act symbolizes our willingness to give up things that are of benefit to us or close to our hearts, in order to follow Allah’s commands. It also symbolizes our willingness to give up some of our own bounties, in order to strengthen ties of friendship and help those who are in need. We recognize that all blessings come from Allah, and we should open our hearts and share with others.

And so that is the end I think. The idea is that everything in the testking 642-383 world is holy, it is just opinions that divide things into good and bad, and most of the time the main character did not realize that he had to try hard to undivide testking 70-662 things. It did not matter if someone went to church or even if they believed in God, it just mattered that they were “called to holiness,” which testking 350-018 is the definition of a saint. What the main character realizes right at the end is that everyone is called to holiness, and the surprising testking 642-456 part is not that everyone is a saint, the surprising part is that we don’t treat each other like this.
