It's that time of year when people of The Faith are reminded of the value of sacrifice; the day when Abraham raised his blades, ready to strike his son only to be replaced with cattle. That readiness to labour for the benefit of others, under Commandment & free from compulsion, is priceless. That readiness should be imbued in us for the assessment of the Creator, not for the benefit of a fellow mortal.
Speaking of sacrifice, I'm assessing how much sacrifice I manifested each month to address my guitar activities. Funds are allocated to necessities only & some apportioned for family leisure, the rest are considerations for gear. There's no compulsion to acquire something new every month, that's not a wise application. I'm doing fine in the mean time, there aren't moments of dire straits or even the need for loans. Yes, there were credit card usages but there were no overdue bills thusfar. So far so good.
Wishing fellow Muslims a meaningful Eid Ul-Adha.
