‘Allah does not need flesh or blood’

It was written in the video that the story of Prophet Ibrahim teaches us to have complete faith in Allah. This festival gives the message of good intentions and pure hearts to sacrifice their most precious thing for God. The post further said, “Allah does not need flesh or blood. Allah sees our piety, our intentions, our compassion.”
Video went viral on social media
Sara Khan appealed to the people and said that the real meaning of sacrifice is kindness, charity, gratitude and helping the needy.
