This
is the story of Abraham…
This
is the story where Abraham turns his sacrifice into good news…
It
is the struggle he has to give up,
and
is the story of the reward after giving up...
One
is the father whose test is to sacrifice his child,
And
to keep his promise.
The
other is the child whose test is to give himself up,
Knowing
who and why he gives himself up.
He
is Ishmael, the name of surrender…
People
have the moments when the chips are down,
With
his wife,
With
his child,
With
his job...
When
he feels pressured, when he is in difficulty...
Let
the story of Abraham come to your mind.
What
was it? Who was the Ishmael that people could not give up in their life?
One
should say, “Which Ishmael would I give up and be one of the better ones?”
Their
social media account,
Or
long sleep that they could not give up,
Coffee
that they said, “I cannot help drinking it as soon as I wake up!”
Maybe
their salvation from the excesses in their work…
What
was the thing that would make one free like a bird when they gave up?
Because
one would only own what they could give up…
Otherwise,
they were doomed to be a slave to everything they couldn’t give up.
Would
the one who gave up have given up in life?
Abraham
also gave up and it was very difficult,
He
gave his most beloved,
The
one he waited for the most,
The
one he is unable to spare,
His Ishmael...
And
the moment he gave him up; he was reunited with him…
Because
to get together with Ishmael was to pay the price.
And
it was our Ishmaels that we could give up that raises us…
Finally
brings us the good news…
The
reason for that ease that came with difficulty…
It
was to be able to take the difficulty at first.
It
was to be able to draw up in the face of what one promised.
Abraham's
Ishmael was given back to him,
Because
the sacrifice was;
To
give the one you love to the one you love the most,
To
give the one who deserves what he deserves.
Happy
Eid…
