Poem

Eid-ul-Adha and Hajj

We celebrate Eid-ul-Adha and the Hajj,
In which the rewards are much.

     Eid-ul-Adha is a reminder of Ibrahim’s (PBUH) sacrifice,
     Which shows us in how many ways Allah is nice.

We run between the mountains of Safa and Marwa,
Since it was done by Bibi Hajira.

     Hajj is about equality,
     Forget your own individuality.

Doing the rituals in a few days,
For cleaning your slate, this is one of the ways.

     The reason for this Eid leads back to Ibrahim’s (PBUH) story,
     But we must remember that only Allah deserves all glory.
