A SHORT STORY ON A KIDS SACRIFICE
Farhan ,Suhail and Bashir lived in a farm house at the end of the village. They were young kids aged 12 ,10 ,and six repectively They had reared many goats along with their father for Eid ul Adha. They would take them to green pastures in the hillocks every day
As Eid Ul Adha neared their father was making a deal with a animal vendor.Bashir was the youngest it was his first year at the barn.He was just six years old . HE loved the goats very much. He would sometimes pester his parents to allow him to let him sleep with them
He loved the black ram very much, Bashir would play with him and chase all about.
When the vendor called out for it he grabbed him and the ram too hugged him close to him. “Abbu this ones mine, this wont go to the vendor”, but the stern look on his fathers face made him give up. He left the ram from his arms and the ram would not move away from him. His dad got up and pulled his ear and it gave a loud bleat but would nt budge.
Then his dad pushed it but the ram started charging him with his horns. Bashir sensed victory , But the vendor got up and stopped the charging ram and shoved him in the truck .Bashir was in tears “Dad only one ram I asked” You are giving away the whole lot.
“Bashir these animals don’t belong to us we are paid for rearing them so how can I give you what is not ours” Bashir was in tears he ran inside the house weeping His mother could not bear to see his tears The vendor was still at the barn gate Farhan and Suhail too felt hurt to see their brother crying
They both ran and pleaded to their father to pay the vendor for the ram so that Bashir would be happy. The vendor quoted 3000 rupees for the ram. Rashid their dad was in no mood but the kids were begging him to bargain. Then suddenly Suhail spoke “take me and give Bashir the ram”
The vendor and their father were moved at Suhails desire to make their brother happy. Finally his father budged and paid off the vendor and bought the ram in 2000 rupees.. The ram ran off to Bashir as if hugging him Bashirs happiness knew no bounds.
As Eid Ul Adha approached because they had a sacrificial animal it was obligatory on them to sacrifice the ram. Rashid called Bshir and told him on the eve of Eid Ul Adha that tomorrow we will sacrifice your ram. Bashir was adamant, “Abba you bought it for me, you should have take another for the sacrifice” “Yeah sure I could have taken another” Rashid knew they couldnt afford another but just to explain Bashir he continued
“We should sacrifice what we love, what is beloved to us” that what Prophet Ibrahim had done He was ready to sacrifice his beloved son and we cannot give an animal for Allahswt’s sake’
Bashir was once again in tears Farhan too bit his lip there was a silent mourning in the house. In the morning the children woke up early for the Eid prayers. There was a very informative sermon, Where the whole story of sacrifice was told by the Khateeb and when he reached to the ayah where Prophet Ismail said “I am ready” Bashir told his father too Abbu” I am ready too to sacrifice my ram”
