BOGOR- Chairman of the Bogor City DPRD, West Java Atang Trisnanto invites the public to educate the child in the style of Prophet Ibrahim who succeeded in making his baby the best generation in the history of civilization.
According to Atang, the moment of Eid al-Adha is important to look at the history of the faith and piety of Prophet Ibrahim in Allah can save him and his son from excessive affection.
Prophet Ibrahim, who at that time was tested by Allah to slaughter the child he wanted after waiting for so long, namely Prophet Ismail, as a sacrifice, chose to obey Allah. When he was about to carry out the order, Allah actually gave the gift of obedience to Prophet Ibrahim by eliminating his beloved son and replacing him with sheep.
Atang said, when he had the opportunity to become a preacher at the moment of Eid al-Adha 1445 H prayer, organized by residents of Tanah Baru Permai Housing in the courtyard of SMKN 2 Bogor City, Monday, June 17, the story of Prophet Ibrahim's education to Prophet Ismail and his other children became an interesting topic for millennial mothers and fathers who were ready to print a new generation.
"Eiduladha has the best moment to return to learning to educate the children of Prophet Ibrahim, the meaning of sacrifice that slaughters the ego of love that worries too much," said Atang, Wednesday, June 19.
In his sermon, said Atang, he raised the theme 'Building the Spirit of Sacrifice, Building a Future Generation'. This is in line with the story lesson of Prophet Ibrahim as who succeeded in educating his children to be the best generation in the history of civilization.
Atang explained that the two great worships carried out on Eid al-Adha, Hajj and sacrifice can only be done by those who are close to Allah, according to the meaning of the Qurban which comes from the word qaruba - qaribun which means close.
"If someone's position is far from Allah, then he will prefer to have fun around the world rather than go to perform the pilgrimage. Likewise with the qurban worship. Many people are reluctant to sacrifice even though he has the ability. But for God's servants who are close to his Rabb, he will say the Good Lab of Allahumma Labbaik," explained Atang.
Furthermore, Atang revealed that there are at least three things that can be followed by the story of Prophet Ibrahim AS, where the first is to always be kind in thinking about Allah SWT. Second, being a devout ummah in carrying out orders and avoiding the prohibition of Allah SWT. And the third is having a soul of sacrifice.
"Hopefully from the lessons of Prophet Ibrahim as, we can become a person who is getting closer to Allah SWT, so that at the same time he becomes an example and is able to educate children to become a good generation in the future," said Atang.

In celebrating Eid al-Adha 1445 H, Atang Trisnanto also performed the qurban worship in the form of cows slaughtered at the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PDM) office in Bogor City, Monday, June 17.
In accordance with the procedures for sacrifice, Atang slaughters his own sacrificial animals and witnessed by his son and the Bogor City PDM sacrificial committee team.
"Thank God we are still given health to be able to celebrate Eid al-Adha. Hopefully in the following year we will all be reunited with this special day. Hopefully, we can all sacrifice next year by starting to culture save from today," said Atang.
In addition to cows cut at the Bogor City PDM, Atang also distributes qurban animals distributed in several urban villages such as Cimahpar, Tegal Gundil, Bantarjati, Cibuluh, and several other places.
Atang said that this year's qurban was obtained from the proceeds of saving for a year. For this reason, he hopes that every Muslim who can afford it will be given the convenience to be able to set aside little by little their income for the effort of worship.
At the end of his sermon, Atang invited all pilgrims to start saving so that they could exchange in the coming year and show seriousness in being able to worship Hajj.
"Come on, after returning from here, we make it a habit to save for the qurban and pilgrimage services. If we buy cigarettes, snacks, or tourism, we can, why don't we set aside the qurban next year. That then until the end of our lives, we have not been given the opportunity to do Hajj or qurban, at least we have tried our best," concluded Atang.
