“God often tests and tries those whomhe loves. He called upon Prophet
Ibrahim to sacrifice the object he loved most. Ibrahim answered the call
and offered to sacrifice his son. Today too, God is testing and trying
the Muslims of Pakistan and India. He has demanded great sacrifices
from us. Our new-born State is bleeding from wounds inflicted by our
enemies. Our Muslim
brethren in India
are being victimized
and oppressed as
Muslims for their
help and sympathy
for the establishment
of Pakistan. Dark
clouds surround us
on all sides for the
moment but we are
not daunted, for I am
sure, if we show the
same spirit of sacrifice
as was shown by
Ibrahim, God would
rend the clouds and
shower on us His
blessing as He did
on Ibrahim. Let us,
therefore, on the day
of Eid-ul-Azha which
symbolizes the spirit of
sacrifice enjoined by
Islam, resolve that we
shall not be deterred
from our objective of
creating a State of our
own concept by any
amount of sacrifice,
trials or tribulations
which may lie ahead
