On occasion of Eid al-Adha , we would like to wish all our readers Eid Mubarak !在宰牲节之际的开斋节 ，我们要祝我们所有的读者节日穆巴拉克 ！ Certainly the occasion which commemorates the sacrifice of Abraham (P) and his son Ishmael (P) is a more benign and noble tradition as compared to the “blood sacrifice” [the pagan imagery] of a half-naked man-god who died humiliatingly swinging from a Roman cross.当然，场合，纪念亚伯拉罕（P）和他的儿子以实玛利（P）的牺牲是一种较为良性的和高尚的传统相比，“血祭”[异教徒的图像]一个半裸体的人，神谁死耻辱从罗马交叉摆动。 May Allah give victory to our Deen and wipe out that Trinitarian religion in the foreseeable future, insha'allah.愿真主给我们的胜利， 迪恩和消灭的未来，insha'allah这三位一体的宗教在可以预见的。

What is Eid al-Adha ? 什么是宰牲节 ？

At the end of the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice).在年底）朝圣（每年麦加朝圣，在整个穆斯林世界庆祝）假日宰牲节的（节祭祀。 In 2006, Eid al-Adha will begin on approximately December 31st, and will last for three days. 2006年， 宰牲节将于12月31日左右开始，将持续三天。

What does Eid al-Adha commemorate? 什么宰牲节纪念？

During the Hajj, Muslims remember and commemorate the trials and triumphs of the Prophet Abraham.朝觐期间，穆斯林怀念和纪念的审判和先知亚伯拉罕的胜利。 The Qur'an describes Abraham as follows:亚伯拉罕古兰经介绍如下：

“Surely Abraham was an example, obedient to Allah, by nature upright, and he was not of the polytheists. “当然亚伯拉罕是一个例子，服从真主的性质正直，他是多神教徒没有。 He was grateful for Our bounties.他为我们的恩泽感谢。 We chose him and guided him unto a right path.我们选择了他，引导他到一个正确的道路。 We gave him good in this world, and in the next he will most surely be among the righteous.” (Qur'an 16:120-121)我们给他在这个世界上好的，接下来他将肯定是其中最正义的。“（古兰经16:120-121）

One of Abraham's main trials was to face the command of Allah to kill his only son.亚伯拉罕的主要试验之一，是面对真主的命令来杀死他唯一的儿子。 Upon hearing this command, he prepared to submit to Allah's will.一听到这个命令，他准备向真主的意志。 When he was all prepared to do it, Allah revealed to him that his “sacrifice” had already been fulfilled.当他正准备这样做，真主向他透露，他的“牺牲”已经得到满足。 He had shown that his love for his Lord superseded all others, that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dear to him in order to submit to God.他表明，他对主的爱所有其他人取代，他会放下自己的生命或那些亲爱的生命，他为了向上帝。

Why do Muslims sacrifice an animal on this day? 为什么这一天穆斯林牺牲的动物呢？

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.在宰牲节庆祝开斋节 ，穆斯林纪念和记忆亚伯拉罕的审判本身，或山羊的屠宰动物，如羊，骆驼。 This action is very often misunderstood by those outside the faith.这个动作是非常经常被人误解的信念以外的。

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.真主给了我们对动物的权力，并允许我们吃的肉，但只有当我们发音在庄严的人生行为采取他的名字。 Muslims slaughter animals in the same way throughout the year.穆斯林在一年四季同样的方式屠宰的动物。 By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred.真主说了在屠宰时的名称，提醒我们，生命是神圣的。

The meat from the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha is mostly given away to others.在宰牲节肉，牺牲的开斋节主要是赠送给其他人。 One-third is eaten by immediate family and relatives, one-third is given away to friends, and one-third is donated to the poor.其中三分之一是由家庭和亲属立即食用，有三分之一是赠送给朋友，三分之一捐赠给穷人。 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.象征着我们的行为是否愿意放弃的东西，对我们是有利或接近我们的心灵，为了遵循真主的命令。 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.它也象征着我们是否愿意放弃一些我们自己的线人，以加强友好关系，并帮助那些谁需要的。 We recognize that all blessings come from Allah, and we should open our hearts and share with others.我们认识到，所有的祝福从真主来了，我们应该打开我们的心，与他人分享。

It is very important to understand that the sacrifice itself, as practiced by Muslims, has nothing to do with atoning for our sins or using the blood to wash ourselves from sin. This is a misunderstanding by those of previous generations:这是非常重要的一点是牺牲自己，作为穆斯林练的， 已经没有任何关系为我们的罪作了挽回或使用血液洗自己的罪，从后代。这是一个误解以前这些：

“It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him.” (Qur'an 22:37) “这不是它们的肉和血，达到真主，这是你的虔诚，能达到他。”（古兰经22:37）

The symbolism is in the attitude — a willingness to make sacrifices in our lives in order to stay on the Straight Path.象征主义的态度是 - 愿意在我们的生活作出牺牲，以留在正道。 Each of us makes small sacrifices, giving up things that are fun or important to us.我们每个人都让小小的牺牲，放弃的东西，很有趣，或对我们非常重要。 A true Muslim, one who submits his or herself completely to the Lord, is willing to follow Allah's commands completely and obediently.一个真正的穆斯林，一个谁提交他或她自己完全给主，愿遵循真主的命令完全顺从。 It is this strength of heart, purity in faith, and willing obedience that our Lord desires from us.正是这种心，纯洁的信仰的力量，并愿意服从我们的主从我们的愿望。
