When Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام was asked to sacrifice what he loved most, he didn’t hesitate.
That moment wasn’t just about the knife or the test — it was about the heart.
💔 Could he put Allah first, even when it was the hardest? That’s the real legacy of Eid: not what we gave up once, but what we’re willing to give up consistently for Allah.

💡 DO:
Ask yourself: What’s my sacrifice?
What’s one thing I’m attached to that might be holding me back spiritually?

This weekend, take a small step:
🔍 Identify it
📝 Write it down
🕊 Intend to give it up or control it — for Him.

Because real faith isn’t just what we say… it’s what we’re willing to lay on the altar of love for Allah.
