As for the slaughter of the sacrificial offering; be aware that this is a means of
drawing close to Allah, the Almighty by virtue of obedience, so make the sacrifice
perfect and hope that for every part of it Allah will deliver part of you from the
Fire. A promise to this effect has come down to us. The bigger the sacrificial
animal and the more ample its parts, therefore, the more comprehensive your
redemption from the Fire.
Visiting Madinah
As for the visit to Madinah; when your eyes alight on the city walls, remember
that this is the town, which Allah, the Almighty selected for His Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, that he made it the goal of his migration, that this was
his home where he promulgated the binding decrees of his Lord Almighty,
established his own exemplary precedents, strove against his foes and
proclaimed his religion until Allah, the Almighty took him to Himself. It then came
to house his tomb, and the tombs of two of his aides who upheld the truth after
him, may Allah be pleased with them.
