God did not give you the duty of waging a holy war in His Way, tolerating danger and loss as the Master of the Messengers and his especial pure family tolerated. The Messenger of God extinguished the fire of the unbelievers, and subdued the Jewish and the Christian kings and the deviated ones. He sent His Messenger - who is His most honorable creature - towards you to destroy atheist kings and to destroy the wicked ones who were an obstacle between you and your benefitting from Divine secrets, and served as means of entertaining you with other things. It was God who took care of your important needs. O‟ man! Remember that you were favored by God before you recognized Him and before you sought nearness to Him with doing acts of worship.

Many narrations have referred to the great merits and rewards of those who spend this night, as a whole, with acts of worship. The night of Eid Ul Adha is one of the blessed nights.
