Its the second eid of the year for Muslims at this time of the year. They call it Eid-ul-Azha (the Eid of Sacrifice).
I was at the Eid prayers this morning and the Imam narrated an interesting story. A beggar once approached a roadside fruit seller. He said “Allah ke naam pe ek aam dedo baba” (Give me a mango to eat in the name of Allah). The fruit seller thought a few seconds, then looked for the older stock he had and gave him an overripe mango to eat.
A few minutes later, the beggar approached again and this time, he gave the fruit seller a 5 ruppee coin and asked for a mango. The fruit seller gave him a fresh ripe mango to have right away. The beggar then questioned: What is worth more in your eyes? A 5 ruppee coin or the name of Allah.
