Hum,

I don't think we are to compare Hinduistic rituals with an act of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH). Those who are making the comparisons, please reconsider it. Both situations are different absolutely.

No matter what, with education and changing thinking patterns, world is becoming more in line with Islam as the non-sense things are being contested and challanged. These are slowly being eliminated.

I see these things paving the path for the global dominance of Islam, Inshallah.

@Ma Mooli

These guys are not muslim; hence why would they be following the sunnah of prophet Ibrahim? as for us muslims; we do follow his sunnah except (as u know) we replace the son with sheep. There are some miracles, only exclusive to Prophets (such as miraaj, revelation of the Book, being raised to heaven, splitting the sea), this slaughter was exclusive to Hazrat Ibrahim. These folks didnt claim to be Prophets… did they?

They did claim to be doing it for God or that God instructed them to do so. Your trying to match specifics when Im trying to view the condemnibility of one action.

Here you have a thread where people are condemning the act as uneducated/brutal/uncivilized etc etc whereas I am trying to find how we see the act not the person who did it.

If a person buried his daughter would you stop and ask “Was he a Prophet?” before you cast judgement on it? How is it a barbarian act in isolation but praiseworthy and something remembered each year at Hajj by Muslims if we believe the person doing it to be a Prophet?

Slaughtering your child is haram/ brutal/barbaric etc. However, Prophet Ibrahim did not slaughter his son, hence we do not celebrate any son killing ritual at Hajj but are celebrating the miracle of Allah Swt. If anything, the miracle taught us the value of human life as God prevented the slaughter to occur...hence we canae even compare the two acts,not even in isolation.
